New RTX 30xx is coming

[YoYo]

As announced prices of new cards are nice (especially when we look at the price-performance comparison of 3070). It will be nice to test it in MSFS in nearest future.



My target will be 3090 perhaps ; ).

Requires 600 watts just for the card? and 12 pin power cable. So you'll need a new PSU likely as well.

I have Be quiet 850W. About 12 pin - no, its only in Founders Edition, for the rest will be 8-pins plus one connection for coolers (and not always).
For Founders Edition you will have an adapter also so no need the new PSU if the power will be ok.

If you have extra cables....

you'll need a cooler man. why would you buy that thing and not cool it properly? It the full price of a new PC without a gfx card. that is insane.

I saw a demo of NVIDA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) software with 4K. The FPS jump was quite dramatic but unfortunately, FS2020 doesn't support that yet and there are still reported bugs but I thought it was promising for those with legacy GPUs and helping boost performance with new GPUs.

For me it depends on how well my current setup performs when VR comes to FS2020.
ATM I get a solid 60 FPS flying over Manhattan with it set to ultra in pancake mode but if that drops through the floor in VR I'l consider upgrading.

I read that it will come with an adapter for 8 pin.

I may have mis-read the specs, but the 3090 looks to be a 3 slot card, large, heavy. Some motherboards and PC cases may not be able to support.

I may have mis-read the specs, but the 3090 looks to require 3 PCIE slots on your motherboard. It's a very heavy card too.

the 3 PCIe x16 slots on my motherboard are not next to each other, so not an option for me (MSI Z97 Gaming 5).

You don't need three PCIe slots next to each other, just enough free space, meaning two empty slots next to your PCIe slot.

Got it. Thanks. Makes more sense, so my layout is actually good then, as it'll just be covering little slots, not the important x16 slots.

Yes, sorry, I made the correction to my post. Still, some chassis may not support 3 slots.

It isnt bigger than my RTX2080Ti with tri fans. FE takes 3 slots, for the rest it will be 2,5 (so like Today's 2080Ti):

PSU is too puny. Probably just wait for now and upgrade the whole PC if/when I move on VR.
