We recently did a full performance analysis of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and found it to be a game that taxes CPUs more than anything else currently available. Also, it uses DirectX 11 and appears to be severely hampered by draw call limitations. Anyway, we wanted to see how the 3080 handled 4K ultra, bearing in mind the ultra preset basically maxes out at around 51 fps on our Core i9-9900K test PC. The result is better than the RTX 2080 Ti by 24%, and 54% higher than the 2080, but you’d be better off dropping a few settings (as we cover in the MSFS 2020 benchmarking article).
