August 14, 20232 yr Hey all. I thinking about pulling the trigger on a new GPU for P3D and soon to install MSFS. I’m thinking of the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition Gaming 24GB Any concerns you can think of? Any positive experiences with this card?

I failed to mention I was upgrading my 850w to a 1000w. My specs are a little out of date. Good catch.

Check this site for the sizes of various 4090 cards. Not all are the same length. Hopefully your case is large enough for one of these beasts. https://thepcenthusiast.com/best-geforce-rtx-4090-graphics-cards-available/ Ray (Cheshire, England).

August 15, 20232 yr Size (particularly length), as mentioned--the ASUS (and most other third-party) GPUs are very big, and don't fit in many older cases that don't allow the drive cages to be removed or moved. If you need a shorter card, the nVidia 4090 Founders Edition is considerably shorter. Also power cable routing is a potential complication--the 4090's 12VHPWR power connectors are located on the top edge of the card, and attempting to place a sharp bend on the thick/stiff commonly-supplied "octopus" adapter cable to keep it within the side of the case risks cracking the board and/or letting the magic smoke out of the card. This can be mitigated with either an aftermarket PCIe 5 cable that terminates in a 90-deg connector or one of the 90/180 deg Cablemod adapters.
