Update: Got my 4090, see benchmarks here: Got 4090. Anything you want me to test? - #44 by agro1986
As the title said. Will get asus strix oc 4090 on oct 12, rest of my system is 5800x3d, 32 gb ddr4 3600 ram, win 10, ssd, 1600w psu, 1440p ultrawide monitor. For headset I have vive pro 2 & quest 2. Any specific settings/scenario you want me to try testing?
Electricity bill before and after. SCNR. 
Thanks for the offer!
I’m just curious about your impressions, since your specs correspond almost 1:1 my desired computer. For me, the system should then drive a Reverb G2.
Scenario: Will it fit on you actual case!
Seriously, I’ve seen a review where it didn’t even fit the case 
Ok, yes, TAA performance with everything Ultra in VR with a Reverb G2.
If you could, that’d be awesome.
By the way, how much are you paying for the Strix?
Cheers!
i intend to buy a 4090 founders edition on 12th oct, failing that i’ll go for 1 of the cheaper AIBs like an MSI or Gigabyte or Zotac. it will be used with a quest 2 and pimax 8kx.
You guys should really do yourselves a favor and buy a Varjo Aero. A 4090 and the those headsets is a blurry overkill mess. If you have $1800 to drop on a GPU save up an extra $500 and get the Varjo then upgrade the graphics card.
I was a bit worried about the size but after checking the specs from asus’ site it seems it will fit.
What resolution is 100% msfs render scaling for Reverb G2? I’ll test the closest resolution with my headset.
The shop haven’t got the final price yet, they only know that they will have stock at launch.
Nice, I think FE has the best clean design and also the relatively small size is a big plus. Would appreciate if you can also share performance numbers.
yeh i like the design and size. i have measured up and concluded my case will fit any 4090 (atleast the one’s i found size data for). it is price that is the main deciding factor for me, and also wattage. i’m cutting it fine with the psu i’ve got so i don’t want a 4090 that is 600W, i want a 450W and one that is recommending an 850W psu, rather than the 1000W/1200W psu’s some of the overclocked AIBs demand. yeh will deffo post some performance data when up and running.
I’ll try and get a Founders Edition 4090 on release day too. I have a Ryzen 5800X3D and a G2 headset. I currently have a Corsair gold 850w PSU, so it’s cutting it fine, but at least I have a large case with lots of fans. I intend to upgrade my headset to something like the Pimax Crystal as well.
Hopefully, one of you 4090 folks will use some tools to get what OXR Tooolkit calls appCPU and appGPU - the number of milliseconds that each of the cpu/gpu pair takes with given settings (example 11.2msec/17.3msec ) at a given location on the ground (stopped) with a given weather set (I like Floyds Epic Clouds for testing since they are complex but fixed) so we can see what our current system does in the same situation and what the improvement would be. By replacing my RTX2070 with a RTX3080ti, I went from an appGPU of 17 to 11 for example (the appCPU stayed the same of course)
Ah, these new GPU’s and CPU’s are here just in time for winter. With the power used and the heat generated will make home cockpits warm and cozy! 
I also suspect 4090 would be wasted on quest 2 as I drive mine at full resolution and mostly ultra with 3090. But nonetheless I would be interested to see the change from your old system (what card do you have now?) - ultra settings max resolution on both, and a fixed scenario such as a landing challenge
Right now I’m using 3090. Hmm with my current system and non-ultra settings, I can only get between 36 to 72 fps (airlink, 72 fps, 100% resolution on oculus app) on Llanada Grande landing challenge.
I’m kind of considering Varjo instead of 4090 (from 3090), what do you compare Varjo with - G2? what GPU do you have? 
can you please tell bit more?
I don’t see the 4k series doing anymore for performance than the 3k series particularly in VR.
Would be very interested in if you can compare your assumedly tuned 3600 RAM against the same RAM clocked to lame RAM specs, like un-EXPO it for a run. Would love to see how RAM tuning speed and latency works out on Ryzen for 4K and VR if you have VR. Deciding (Zen4 DDR5) between cheap $90 16GB 5200 kit and the ULTRA $280 32GB 6000 CL30 kit. I know this makes a huge difference in 1080p, but not sure 500 frames per second first person shooter 1080p results mean anything to me when I use FS2020 in 4K and VR.

I think talking about varjo is relevant for 4090 discussions, after all we need a powerful card to drive the high res of the panel. I’m waiting for my varjo to arrive so can also run tests for it later on.
My ram is set on XMP timings, and it’s definitely faster than default timings (though by how much I forgot). I’ll try to test XMP vs non-XMP when I get the card.
can i answere here too? i’ve owned a varjo aero and G2, the varjo’s display is better. higher clarity, bigger sweetspot, no godrays. but it’s not much much better like the price difference might suggest. i think you’d enjoy an aero if your expectations are realistic (do not expect a night and day difference). paired with a 4090 i think you’d have the best MSFS VR experience possible right now.
