John Dow Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 P3DV4.3 is mostly limited by your CPU so the 1080 card is probably all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi Folks, From my experience - upgrades within the same series - have little impact on performance - I once went from a GTX570 to a GTX970 - and hardly noticed a difference...

John Venema Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I’d get the 1080ti and then spend the rest on an i7 8700K and faster DRAM memory if your mobo supports it. The 2080ti is getting better FPS on first person shooters that use the full nVidea architecture, but most flight simulators are still CPU-bound due to old code.

My personal advice : I5 9600k /Gigabyte Z390 Gaming (150 €) 16Go Memory minimum / GTX 1080ti / A small SSD for "Windows" and 1/ 2 to SSD for your sim. The same for the power you don't need 1200w...

I have to agree with John. I recently went to a completely new PC (see specs in my signature below) for P3Dv4.3 I’m not sure my 32 gigs of RAM was necessary for the sim but I can run my sliders at or near max and run stutter free. I can keep about 40 fps (fixed in-sim with my monitor at 144) but to be honest don’t really worry about that. Of course I drop over intense areas. The only thing I find is I now have slow autogen black “builds” behind me. I think it is a problem with LM and P3Dv4.3 but heck, who flies with their head swivelling all the time My advice - don’t chase your tail. An i7 8700K and 1080ti is more than enough.

shane2801 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi guys I am upgrading my mobo along with my CPU. My current graphics card is a Gigabyte 1080ti Aorus. I am upgrading from an I7 5960x to the I9 9900k. Should I get a noticeable performance increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi, I had the money for an I7 8700K, not a big difference with my I5 8600K, but after a lot of research and the advice of my guys at my computer shop.. I ended up with the I5 8600K (dedicated Sim rig), he said that for flight Simming the I5 8600K was THE CPU to buy. So I did. I see 70FPS sometime and I am amazed so far. Next move (and maybe...) will be a 1080 TI 8-12 gig, even if my 1060 6G is doing the job perfectly (i'm not in 4K)... When I ask him about the 9600K he started laughing (I know the seller), it's not meant for gaming he said... my 2 cent Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelab6 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Not easy right now to find a 1080ti at a good price. If you can't find one, go with RTX2080 instead of the 2080ti. The RTX 2080 will deliver about the same performance than the 1080ti at about the same price tag. The only difference is the video RAM on it. The 1080ti has 11G and the 2080 has 8G. If you are a 4K user, find a 1080ti. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david broome Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Personally if there is no rush I would wait for zen 2, if nothing else it will drop the price on Intel processors but likely will be faster and cheaper. Grab a 1080Ti and 32GB of 3200 or 3600 ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
