well well well , just installed the 4080 chunky boy into my system a few hours ago, EGLL  to EGPH and deary me , like Lurpak on a crispy crumpet and at 4K 60 fps rock solid with the Fenix . Aim just smiling good night all !

However i am getting a flashing screen every 30 secs or so , seems to be when panning ?, looks like Vsync 100% in sim fixed that ! oh no it didn't any ideas you guys ?

Yup I have the same combination as of last week, and it’s incredible. 

Are you using frame generation? G-sync display or not?

Try turning off bloom and see if that fixes the flashing.

No G sync , yes Frame generation , and yes Bloom just turned it off , will report , thanks fellas 

Looks like turning off Bloom did it , this is voodoo for sure , ive not seen anything like this in 20 years of simming thanks guys , aim still smiling 😁, thanks Nvidia for a way over priced card BUT hats off on this occasion  

I am considering going from my 3070 Ti to a 4080 but have not yet pulled the trigger. I have a 5900X though, so I imagine I am more CPU bottlenecked compared to your 5800X3D. I upgraded from a 6700K 2 years ago and even this 5900X says its limited by the MainThread. Still much better than my old 2080/6700k build was.

I have a 4090 and 5800x3D and it’s just an amazing experience. I’ve never had a flight sim look so good and work so smoothly. It’s magical. 
 

the 4090 is crazy expensive… but it is insanely fast. I too wish it was cheaper, it was hard to make that decision to buy.  But now I don’t regret it at all. 

totally agree, way too expensive , BUT tweak town is just about over for me , for you it will be totally over i guess with the big boy lol

Interesting thread as I have a 5800X3D with an RTX3080 and was wondering about upgrading to a 4080 as well.

Interesting also that I have been seeing a bit of that flashing as described lately and thought it might be a driver issue, so will take a look at my bloom setting.

yep turning off bloom fixed it for me 

My 4090 is arriving tomorrow. I have a 5900x, but I guess it shouldn't be too much of a bottleneck with the 4090 just brute forcing everything with frame generation. Super super excited. 

i doubt it very much especially at higher resolutions, have fun

Out of interest, what AA mode are you running? I’m using DLAA with DLSS at the minute but will try TAA as well. On a 4K 60hz gsync compatible screen but tomorrow I’m hooking up a 4K 144hz screen with native gsync so looking forward to try that!

If you're looking for the best quality, stick to DLAA. It's better than TAA.

DLSS Quality with FG on with some sharpening looks great at 43 " 3840x2160 most things on high couple of things on ultra and a couple of things turned off. I will try other settings though
