Hello,

In the beginning of this year I was using the 4090 with FG and 4K on a Sony TV with fps set at 60 max.  

That worked very well.  
I have sold the 4090 due to circumstances.  

Now I want to fly again but the 4090 is twice or more the money than a 4080 Super here in the Netherlands.  

Should the 4080 also be smooth with 4K and max 60FPS set in the Nvidia panel?

Hope some can help me out with this. 

I don’t have either of these cards however, I think people are going to need more info, like what settings are you planning on running and what’s the full spec of the rig?

MSI Tomahawk Z790, I7-13700K, DDR5 6000mhz, MSI 4090 or 4080S, 3x SSD 980 PRO, Corsair 360 Liguid CPU cooler, Corsair H1200V2 power.

This worked super with a 4090.
60 FPS set as max and the use of DLSS FG.
No issues with this combo.

But like I said 4080S is around 1100 euro and the 4090 is 2200 minimal !!
With the 60 fps set as max the 4090 was not working very hard so I was thinking why not go the 4080S route.
4K in setting with a mixture of Ultra and Max settings

This should give you a good idea

I recently built a new system and for the same reason as you chose a 4080 Super. My specs are in my message footer below.  In addition to nVidia FG, I also use the great AutoFPS app. I go for smoothness and do not obsess with frame rates.  AutoFPS reports my frame rates with it are usually in the 80's and 90's and usually very smooth.  I am either Ultra or High settings and of course DX12, which is required for FG. I pasted an image of my settings in the spoiler window of this reply. At 4K those settings are most realistic for me.  I have even toned down the LOD settings in AutoFPS  to the 200/100 you see in my settings, as I was seeing more detail than seemed realistic.

Yesterday when flying the Blacksquare Analog Baron (Turbo) at 7,000 ft over Chicago, I started experiencing some micro stutters. I had flown over Chicago in the opposite direction two days earlier.  I had several addon scenery items active via Addons Linker.  The flight path included passing over or very near Drzewieckidesign's Chicago Landmarks, FSDT's O'Hare (KORD), and Drzewieckidesign's Chicago Midway (KMDW).  Suspicious, I went into General settings, Data, and turned off Rolling Cache.  Returned to the flight and it was totally smooth again. So smooth I will keep Rolling Cache off now.

Chicago, and the Baltimore, Maryland, area, and the Denver, Colorado area, also with several high density scenery addons, are the most challenging and the combination of the 7800 X3D, the 4080S, FG, and AutoFPS has fully tamed them.

FWIW I am Super pleased with my 4080 Super.

I have FG on in the sim, frames locked at 48 in Riva Tuner and 3X in LSFG for frame a rate of 144 which matches my G-Sync 3440X 1440 monitor refresh rate.

Smooth as the proverbial and rarely a stutter.

What resolution do you play in ?

Another one using a 4080 (classic) in 4K. Performance is never an issue due to the GPU, always the CPU dictating max. FPS. BUT: I regularly fill up the 16GB VRAM in 4K, even though I also use DLSS and AutoFPS and such. OT: this is the reason why I am already getting angry at nVIDIA, as it seems that the 5080 will again have only 16GB of VRAM.

But you have good gameplay ?

They are crippling the 5080 in cores and vram, it's basically the 5070 at 5080 prices. They want to milk the 5090 for $2500. I wish AMD could compete in the higher end.   

I just caught up on the 5000 series "leaks" and if accurate to any degree I am more than pleased with my purchase of and performance from my ASUS RTX 4080 Super.

Fortunately I hold some investment shares ......  Though the annual dividends only amount to 3 hundreths of one percent.  😙

I saw that too. You almost have to conclude it's unreliable information. That would be a truly ludicrous price that, even if people were crazy enough to pay it few could afford to do it.

 

The RTX 4090 is also silly money, but it seems that plenty of flight simmers have purchased one. I would have to be a lottery winner to even think about shelling out well over £1500 for a graphics card.

It's Nvidia, they have been increasing their prices bigly with every generation. And they have no competition in the high end. At bare min the 5090 will be 2K. With 32 GB of Vram, it's basically a professional card. And plenty of people will buy it.
