qbcat Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Hi, You can see my hardware in signature, I'd like to upgrade my gpu (nvidia1080Ti) to a 3060 12gb, is it worth? Is it better for DCS (or also for the non combat sim) to have this one or a better card like 3070Ti with "only" 8gb? My resolution 3840x1600 38" wide, generally I prefer not using VR but ... with a better gpu who knows... Thank u guys!

Hector45 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Not worth it, wait for the next gen GPU's to release later this year. Maybe the 4060 will make more sense, or you could look at a second hand 3080.

PLUTON Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I would just say one thing while browsing the forum and what I read about the different performances between the different graphics cards, it is that we must pay attention to what we really need as materials to make pleasant and smooth flights, not what gpu makers are trying to make us believe by drowning us with several models by making us believe that the latest gpus are better than the old ones like your 1080 ti which is a great card that many would still like to have. As ( Hector45 ) told you, wait until there is a real difference between yours and the one that will come out to change. Good flight to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco82 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hi qbcat, As Hector has said, if your using that resolution dont bother upgrading unless it to something like a 3080. Going from a 1080ti to a 3060ti would be more of a sidestep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbcat Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Yes thank you guys, I agree. I've seen many reviews and .... yes 1080Ti rocks !

Voyager Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If you're happy with your framerates, stick with the 1080 Ti. For VR, I would not expecting any of those cards to do much better than it, so probably wait until the next generation stuff comes out later this year. Between AMD, nVidia, Intel and the consoles all being on different high yield nodes, and the mining crash, this next generation should be less bonkers than the last one.
