Hello all! I need some help from experienced MSFS 2024 users that have 3 displays in your setup. I am trying to decide which GPU to use for the best results. I want to use either the RTX 4080 or the RTX 4090. I also see a new version of what I believe to be the next generation, which is the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. Any suggestions as to what path I should be following. I'm putting together a build list for our local EAA Young Eagles and want something with a WOW! factor...not just a game/toy.

Thanks,

Steve

2. Wrong forum: 

 

I’d recommend at least an RTX 4090 for a 3-monitor setup. It handles ultra settings and complex scenery much better.

If budget allows, the RTX 5090 is the most future-proof option.

For two displays, the RTX 5080 should perform very well.

The RTX 50-series also introduces NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, with faster ray tracing, GDDR7 memory, and DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation to boost FPS in demanding sims.

If you're upgrading from a (4070 Ti Super) or lower, going to a 5080 or 5090 makes sense.
But if you already have a 4080 / 4080 Super / 4090, it's probably better to keep it for now since the performance gain is around ~10% and may not justify the extra cost.

You didn’t say what resolution the 3 monitors will be?  Anyway, 5090 is your best option currently if you want the WOW factor.

The resolution would probably be 1440p. What I was thinking was actually using 4 displays.  The largest display would be the front view and then 2 displays for the side left and right views. I would like to use a smaller touch screen to pop out the instruments and gauges onto so as not to have to use the front view display to also show the instrument panel. Does this make sense in MSFS 2024?

My simulator (X-plane 12) has this setup except that for my instrumentation I use Air Manager. I really like the full out-the-window front view this allows without anything else there.
