Dear fellow sim pilots,

I have been looking around for a new GPU for my new Ryzen build. It has been a rough time thanks to the shortage in the GPU market and I have been looking everywhere for an RTX Card. They are sold out before they even reach the stores and it bothers me a lot. So I am now trying to change my own mind to go for a Radeon card instead and found the 6800XT and 900XT. I am about to pull the trigger on one of them and I think the 6900XT will fit well into my build. They seem pretty good IMO after having my dreams crushed and can’t get a 3080TI or 3090.

AMD is at the moment working on FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and I think this will push the card forward now after the XBOX version release. I even wrote a mail to AMD about adding FS to their list for FSR support. what is your thoughts about this?

plenty of topics about this in [Latest Self-Service/PC & Hardware topics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums (PC & Hardware - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums)
and in the wish list subsection.

Is the FSR topic there?

I didn’t search before I posted, I should have done that :unamused:

FS channels on twitch and YT have a big banner “powered by Nvidia” so it’ll be hard to me to see FSR implemented.
Btw as an owner of 6900, I hope they’ll implement it

On the other hand, FSR will be used on the Xbox (in general, not necessarily in MSFS), which makes it more likely to see in MSFS.

How is the 6900xt?

Good:

  • raster performance is awesome, like 3090 at half price

Bad:

  • drivers: worse than I can imagine (I had nvidia before)
  • noise: fans spin at 100% every time you alt-tab a game without any reason (louder than my old 1080ti blower)
  • no RT support (only with Metro Exodus EE performance is acceptable - 21:9 2k@ultra settings@60fps - but with a 3080 you can have more than 120fps AND DLSS)
  • VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD PERFORMANCE on mining (that’s why you can buy a 6900 at the street price without problems while it’s impossible to buy a 3080)

For FS it’s a good GPU and with FSR it could be a GREAT GPU.
Of course, if an nvidia 3080 had been available I would not have bought the 6900.
So it’s a good choice if you can’t buy anything other than AMD GPUs.
