Just saw this about the 5090.

Similar boat here. 5800X3D 4080super. I’m going to wait until MSFS2024 release then decide. 3440x1440. My 4080S is still not quite pushed and that’s noticeable in XP12. Very cpu limited.
It’s going to cost a bit. Mobo, RAM. The 9800X3D Microcenter near me sold out.

Turns out I ignored my own sage advice and jumped on a 9800X3D the day it was released

I’m sure we’d all love to know how much of a difference it makes to 2020, and 2024.
I’ll be able to benchmark a few previously CPU-bound MSFS 2020 scenarios before and after the 9800X3D upgrade but may not get to do MSFS 2024 before scenarios as I will probably have changed hardware by release day.

Currently running 5800x3D with RTX 4080. Want to make the jump to AM5.
Depending on MSFS 2024 performance on my current machine I want to upgrade to 9800x3D and the future 5080/5090.
you don’t find that distortion distracting ? I had to turn off nvidia surround, it was just too much
Received my 9800X3D today and, after getting it stable and running at 5.4GHz PBO curve -40, ran a few MSFS 2020 scenarios I did the other day with my 5800X3D.
Of course the best performance improvement came in 2D 4K Ultra, which I don’t care about because I fly in VR, where at ORBX YSSY taking off 34L in the Concorde towards the city I went from 32 FPS average to 54 FPS - a staggering 69% increase.
VR was a bit less impressive, averaging between 16% and 28% improvement in a few CPU-limited scenarios. Best of all however is that I am now getting the minimum 40 FPS that I seek to have good motion reprojection pretty much everywhere in any aircraft at high resolution, TAA and high settings, so a nice swan song for the final days of MSFS 2020.
All in all a very noticeable upgrade from the 5800X3D, and that CPU was no slouch either.

So you make me hesitate to take the 9800x3D to put it with an RTX5070 or RTX5080 in the future but as said in my post above it would force me to change motherboard and RAM, which in itself I can afford but it remains an investment, and obviously many people who answered me to this post have solid arguments to keep for the moment the 5800x3D that I have, I wait to see the comparison on the tests between the 5800x3D and the 9800x3D on MSFS 24

Of course , sorry I accidentally posted 2 of the same external views. The 1st view was supposed to be from the Cockpit _ it’s actually my favorite view when flying.
A - it’s quiet.
B. It puts you in “The Driver’s seat .” And isn’t that really where we’d all rather be?!
Thanks for calling me out n making me realize I posted a duplicate.
Here’s the view of my Cirrus Vision G2 Virtual Cockpit. It took me some tweaking, but ive gotten the GPU usage down to around 60-ish percent, while still using mostly ULTRA graphics settings across the board.
Here’s the cockpit view:
It took more time and several complete FS reloads to get the cockpit configured and all 4 touchscreens working with automated popouts, but my 7800x3D (in Expo1 mode) combined with the 4070 Super (accelerated using the NVIDIA Auto-Tune) made a huge difference in performance and smooth high Frame Rates. I’m hoping to see similar (if not better) performance within the new MSFS2024.
