so in short its not so much the extra GPU processing power, its mostly becuase the 3090 has so much extra vram, and VR is much more vram hungry especially for the higher detail syria map?

 

Yes.

map size has an effect too. syria is about 47.2 GB and caucasus is about 15.5 GB. big difference.

Indeed, the extra horsepower difference between 3080 and 3090 isn't that large. The 3080 is a splendid card for regular gaming but for DCS VR in modern maps (especially with something like a Reverb G2 at native resolution), you need quite a bit more than the 10GB VRAM it offers.

To be honest it did strike me bit unusual that for a card advertised as sold enough for 4K  only had 10gb vram Even more "normal gaming"
that seemed long just bit low if looking for keeping a card longer term. thought it would of been a bit more attractive with 12gb. shame there is no 3080  more vram.  Think middle ground of higher vram  model 3080 ti  with 16gb would have done the trick as a happy middle ground between what otherwise seem overkill and very expensive 3090 card. 24gb vram. IM wondering how other flight sims are also as vram hungry as dcs for vr, or if DCS is inadequately optimized with resource usage. 

 

BUt then again for a generation that is continually  out of stock..... maybe il be able to get my hands on a 30 series with as advertised MSRP  ( and not price scalped) by the time the 40 series come to the market.
