October 3, 20232 yr My old setup was an overclocked 6700k computer driving 4 monitors from an Nvidia Titan for P3dv4, and a smaller networked computer to run atc on one monitor and instruments on the other monitor. My new setup will be an overclocked 13900k, a watercooled Nvidia 4090, 5600 ram, and two Samsung 990 ssd's on an MSI motherboard. My tech tells me I have enough horsepower to run P3dv5 with 4 screens off the Nvidia (surround on three and GPS on the other) and set up the motherboard to run 2 more monitors for P2ATC and my instruments. Do you think this is going to work, or should I forget it and go back to a second networked computer running P2ATC and the instruments? Forgot that the three surround screens will be in 4k and the 3 other monitors 1080p. Edited October 3, 20232 yr by vp49p3 Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.

It sounds feasible. It's a powerful system, but every setup is different and the only true way to find out is to try it. I run P3D 5.4 with 2 graphics cards in one pc for 5 monitors in a home cockpit. I am cpu limited with an i9 9900KF. I have 2 screens for external views using Viewgroups, but these are 1080p. Graphics are RTX 3080 for the 2 outside screens and a GTX 1080 for the 3 instrument screens. With graphics settings fairly high, the 2 graphics cards are still not working very hard, but the cpu main core is always at 100% and cooling is becoming a problem. This is partly an issue with v5.4, as noted by others. When I switch to P3D 4.5 HF3 temperatures are lower. You should have a very capable system with the 13900K and 4090 so it's worth a try. The main load is the external view while the flight instruments make very little demand on the system. John B

November 1, 20232 yr Author Works fine. 4 monitors on the video card (3 in surround and a 4th for gps) and the two motherboard video outputs for monitors running Air Manager and the other Pilot2ATC. Setup is nice, as there's no need for networked computers. Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.
