March 7, 20242 yr Good day from beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm ready to pull the trigger on an upgraded GPU. My question is, would it be best to wait a few months for the next best thing (which I don't even know what that is...) or, may as well get a 4090 now? I appreciate your advice as always.

March 7, 20242 yr There's *always* going to be something mo'-bigger-faster on the horizon, so by adhering to that logic you'll find yourself waiting forever. The 4090 is a massive step up from your 2070. I run a 4090 together with a 10900K and it performs very well in MSFS/XPlane 12. When I built my current P3D machine (13900KS + 4090) I was so impressed with the 4090's performance I sprung for a second one and upgraded the GPU on my secondary (MSFS/XPlane) machine (from a 3090), and I have never regretted that upgrade.

March 10, 20242 yr An no need to overspend on a ROG. Tests show there isn't a big difference between the stock and the OC 4090s.

March 22, 20242 yr There is always a new generation of CPU, GPU, RAM, and motherboard on the horizon. There is no such thing as future proofing. Just buy they best that you can afford today with the understanding that it will soon be obsolete.
