Hi, someone gave me a used 3090 (yoohoo!) and I am now building a PC to use this GPU for MSFS 2020. I have a 4K monitor (120 Hz) and a 1440p monitor (240 Hz). Due to budget constraints, if I go for a PC build like:
Intel i5-12400F (fix clock) on B660M board (basically budget setup)
2x 16GB matching DDR4-3600 memory
1TB generic Nvme SSD Gen4
850W power supply + plenty of big diameter fans + case due to 3090
WIndows 11 Home
What is my realistic expectation for MSFS average fps for 1440p and 4K, both at ultra settingss? I am happy as long as I can get >=30 fps as I read game play is still fine. I believe my system bottleneck could be the i5-12400F.
I am fine with reducing setting from ultra to high, or tweak other parameters to achieve close to 60 fps. Alternatively I could revert to DLSS 2.0 for improved fps but I try to avoid that as I have the 3090 after all.
There other CPU’s, such as: i5-13400F, or AMD 5800X3D, etc. but they all cost more. The i5-12400F is currently very good value, hence I got my head stuck into thinking if this could work.
Does anyone have an idea on my expectation on such a system? Or anyone has an experience with specification close to my intended system?
Thank you in advance for your input.
