Motomouse Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 If you can aquire a 1080ti it is the slightly better choice for VR versus the 2070 Super. VIC-20@1.108 MHz, onboard GPU, 5KB RAM, μυωπία goggles, Competition Pro HOTAS
Svsmokey Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 You're really talking about a new vs used card . If you are comfortable with the latter , the upcoming Vulkan's additional demands on vram might prove decisive . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
nanucq Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I have a 2070 super and very happy in 2D at 2560*1440. But if you can grab a 1080 Ti, it should be a better bet for VR ;) i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2666Mhz, GTX 2070 Super, SSD 1To, TrackIR 5, TM16000M HOTAS
DerekSpeare Posted June 21, 2020 Author Posted June 21, 2020 hm...it's the issue of the vram that is giving me pause. I have a spare 1080ti which I can take from an old system. I might just get the 2070 super and test them both on the same system and see what happens :) Derek "BoxxMann" Speare derekspearedesigns.com 25,000+ Gaming Enthusiasts Trust DSD Components to Perform! i7-11700k 4.9g | RTX3080ti (finally!)| 64gb Ram | 2TB NVME PCIE4| Reverb G1 | CH Pro Throt/Fighterstick Pro | 4 DSD Boxes Falcon XT/AT/3.0/4.0 | LB2 | DCS | LOMAC Been Flight Simming Since 1988!

speed-of-heat Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 When I was getting my “new” gas card the research I did said that the base performance between a 2070s and a 1080ti were similar, the only delta was memory... my observation is that DCS uses shed-loads of memory SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat

DerekSpeare Posted June 21, 2020 Author Posted June 21, 2020 Thx for the tips I went ahead with the 2070 Super from Newegg. I have the 1080ti as well and will see how the 2070 does. I can swap the 1080ti if I don't like it and kick the 2070 down to where the 1080 was. The prices for used 1080ti's are stupid. I can't see it so that's why I went with the 2070. New 1080ti's are even more absurd!

speed-of-heat Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 fair shout, i got mine from someone who i dont think knew what they were selling.. so good price actually less than a 2070S, i'd be interested in seeing how the 8Gb card handles DCS SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat

New 1080ti's are even more absurd! I think Half-life Alex is driving the 1080ti prices because the game uses about 10gb of VRAM. I'll bet you would not notice the difference. Look forward to your results.

DerekSpeare Posted July 20, 2020 Author Posted July 20, 2020 Just an update about this: I tried both the 2070Super and 1080ti in the same PC with DCS and feel the 1080ti is better. I can say that the 9600k running at 4.9ghz absolutely trounces the the 5930k.

VirusAM Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Another reason to wait for replacing my 1080ti.... I really hope that AMD new offering will be fast and will help bring the prices down as I don’t want to throw 1200 euros on a 3080ti.

DerekSpeare Posted July 21, 2020 Author Posted July 21, 2020 Let me add that the 2070 Super is a fabulous video card for the money. At 500 bucks it cannot be beat. The performance is "most of the 1080ti" for a good price - and you get RTX with it. But since I had the 1080ti - and it has more mem - I decided to use it instead. Though I will add that the real solution is to replace it with a 2080ti, something I will do when I have more time for it.

VitS Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Now it's really bad time to buy 2080ti as 3080ti is about to hit the market. Either buy 3080ti or buy 2080ti after price drop

TWC_SLAG Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 If I replace my 1080 with a 1080ti, is there anything else recommended I should change. See specs.

SneakyBastd Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 TWC_SLAG, if your cpu is a K then definitely overclock it. Otherwise you might not see much difference. 7700K@5Ghz, 32GB 3600 CL16, 3080.
TWC_SLAG Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) TWC_SLAG, if your cpu is a K then definitely overclock it. Otherwise you might not see much difference. I’m now looking at the 2070 Super. I have to get a new MB (died), and am also thinking Why not upgrade the CPU at the same time to i9-9900. Total $1,138. Hopefully keep me and the reverb g2 happy for awhile.

Since everyone here know more about DCS and VR I figured this is the best place to ask the question. Thanks in advance for any useful facts! :thumbup: :joystick: :pilotfly: Better option for around same amount of money is R5 3600 + MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX MB + 2080Super. This will be much better especially for VR usage where i5 9600 losing any advantage.
