YESS!!! That´s the way to go! Go for big. I finally want a reason to buy that Corsair Obsidian 1000 D case!
Yep! Same here! I easily get 70-80 fps with a small/not-complex plane. It would be great to see what FPS we get with Fenix, etc. and FSLTL, …! Right now even with those I get 30-40 fps using RTX 3090! Would hate to spend the money and find out it’s not a minor improvement.

See post after that, I posted with PMDG 737, KLAX + FSLTL (100% density) and still get around 60-70 FPS inside cockpit and outside. It’s a HUGE difference between a 3090 and 4090.

I also had a room heater of a similar design although I doubt it could match yours for output.

■■■■ that thing is HUGE! I have a Suprim X 3080 which is the biggest card i ever had. With 40cm in lenght but those seems to be growing up… 4 slots?

Is that with the frame generation on? (frame doubling)
Nice do you not find having top mounted CPU rad your pulling hot air through your CPU rad your CPU runs hotter? I front mounted mine so it’s intake set up pulling cool air through it.
I’ve never had any issues with the top mounted radiator, but then again i’m running a push pull setup so 6 fans total (upgrading to 420mm rad soon + 6, 140mm fans). I have two 200mm fans taking in air now, but before i had another 360mm radiator for my 3090.

It’s the sensible option. 5080 should atleast outperform 4090 or 4090ti. But how they are hellbent on having insane power draw for the cards in last couple of generations, if they continue the trend with 5000 series as well, then we really will need a pc that fits to the GPU . What resolution do you run at? At 4k, I run out of VRAM in quite a few airports with the fenix a320. Wish it had 12gb option when I got my 3080.
I already posted that above…

Actually this post was at the back of my mind when I wrote that.

weird because I have no difference between a 3090 and a 4090, same fps in same resolution (3440*1440)
everything is activated in the settings!
dlss super reso+quality+frame generation on
i missed something?
Your cpu was probaby bottlenecked before by the 3090, the only surprise now is you don’t need to lower lod or traffic even further.
Yeah 2 grand out ya pocket

i want to see the performance of the 13900KS paired with 4090.
lets see what 6ghz+ will do to this sim

3440x1440 for a 4090 is a waste. Even for a 3090 it’s a waste. They’re 4K cards….

I went in and modified the usercfg file to copy yours, added the extra lines … was using DX12 … it made no difference … I think it requires SU11 and/or an RTX 3 series … I do use nVidia DLDSR and DLSS with good results … is there more improvement I could get ? …
It needs SU11 and an RTX 4000 series card.
