Shortcut Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) I’m currently running an Evga 1080Ti FTW 3 on my system below. I’ve been on Evga’s waiting list for about a year I just received a email form Evga that I could purchase 3080 FTW 3 Ultra Gaming GPU for list price 919.00. The 3080Ti FTW 3 has been showing up at Evga for list price 1429.00. Quick question would you get the 3080 or the 3080Ti for 510.00 more? Is the 3080Ti worth the price difference for DCS and X-Plane 11 and maybe the 4000 series maybe coming out in 6-8 months. I was going to wait for the 4000 series but who knows what’s going to happen in the next 6-8 month. 8700K @ 5.1ghz.

Glide Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The key difference is the amount of VRAM on the cards. The Syria Map can easily use up 10GB of VRAM depending on units and visual quality. Get as much VRAM as you can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortcut Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) The highest I've seen with my 1080ti is Syria is 10.4gb so far. I need to make a dissension within 20 hours of getting the email or I'll loose it. Evga had the 3080ti for sale to day for 1429. I plan on getting a 4080 when they come out and either sell the 3080 or give it to my grand son. I'm hoping to get smoother performance with the 3080 over the 1080ti.

Asus Z370 Maxims Hero, 32gb 3200 Ram @3400, 850 Watt PSU, Evga 1080FTW 3, Hp Reverb G2 I was running an 8700k @5ghz with a 3080 and it was bottlenecking My card horribly. My advice is save the extra cash and upgrade your cpu to a 12600k, dcs is more cpu bound than gpu, the 12600k has excellent IPC performance (which is what DVS needs still). I got a new mobo(z670 ddr4 ver) and cpu for 450$ and now fpsvr is no longer in the red on either cpu/gpu after tweaking. I'm finally running 45-63 stable up to 90 dependent on server; enigmas cold war, and 4ya training. Don't waste money on something that's gonna be an issue, I already did that for you. | 8700k @4.9 | Gigabyte Gaming 7 | 32gb Tridentz @3000 | EVGA 1080 TI SC2 | CV1 | VKB MCG PRO [sigpic]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeLGqKyJ3K08k3z-7XaegWgRuGRGkKUs/view?usp=sharing[/sigpic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
