if possible pls list down ur hardware n settings n fps ure getting so i can gauge what hardware to buy too thanks!

I would choose any GPU with 16gb or more. It will be better for FS2020 and future proof for new games like FS2024.

Your current PC specs are pretty good! I would think that you could max out most of your settings to ultra in the sim with your current cpu/gpu at 1080p. The weakest link in your current PC for running 1080p maxed out is having only 16gb ram.

For years and years and it remains the same. Max/ultra graphics on a flight sim has to be tailored correctly. I dont know many people, if any who runs it on max graphics with Addons (pmdg, fenix, sceneries, ai traffic, etc) without complaining. Youre gonna have to play around with your settings for the best suit to your system and addons.

I have an i7, 32GB Ram, 2 TB SSD and a 4080. When I had a single 27" monitor, I ran everything on Ultra with no issues. I upgraded my rig to a motion platform with 3 50" HD TVs and I had to tone it down a little bit - went with letting NVIDIA optimize for me. TBH, I can’t really tell any difference in quality.
