Nvidia 4070ti +4k

[m1tp2king]

Hi. So I am looking to buy an Nvidia 4070ti. To play FC3 at 4K resolution. 

Does the 4070ti work well with DCS? Any graphical problems?

What about frame rates? 

I am happy to lower the graphic quality  settings to play at 4K.

I am building a new computer with i7 Intel and 128gb of ram

I would like to know as well.

I am going to build a new PC (i9-11900K + 12 GB GDDR6X - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti - MSI GAMING X TRIO 12G), therefore some feedback would be appreciated.

Maybe this will help.

I'm looking at the same card for DCS VR.

From what I see, the 4070ti has slightly better performance at a much lower price than the 3090.

I expect it will be much better than my current 2070.

I'm also considering installing a 4070TI or a 7900XT for DCS VR.

In theory, the 7900XT should be slightly faster, but in practice there are many reports of problems. However, few reports that are satisfied. However, this also depends on which VR headset is used.

I've recently read that the Pico 4 and Quest 2 work well with the 7900XT.

On the other hand, you should get more consistent performance from the 4070TI.

However, the scarce memory equipment and memory connection is often mentioned there. As possible minuses.

I'm interested in this, because I'm configuring a system for a friend who wants to play DCS with no VR.

I always thought that for DCS a minimun of 12Gb is a must, if not more. For that, I tend to choose 7900XT over 4070Ti, but I see here that people prefer Nvidia over AMD even with much less memory. Any reason?

PD. I have a 6900XT on my comp and happy with that. No troubles at all.

If DCS is just going to run non-VR then I would definitely recommend a 7900XT as well.

Unless someone cares a lot about ray tracing for other games.

From what I see online the 4070ti is twice as fast as 1080ti at 4K. 

Which is what I am upgrading from.

So happy days I guess.

Do you play multi?  

If so - 

Currently, there is no flight sim on the market that takes scaling with 4k resolution properly.  That means that contacts that were once visible at 10k due to LOD bias, do not render.  Contacts that were a fairly sizable pixel at 5k, are now a miniscule pixel, and impossible to see.  And contacts that you could track against ground clutter will all blend and disappear.  The same pixel information is present for 4k as for 1080p, but the pixels on your 4k set up are miniscule compared to the same pixel on the 1080p, and it becomes a physical hardware scaling problem - the pixels, physically in the real world, are simply larger and easier to see, and the LOD bias that comes into play with limited pixels able to render details at 1080, means that the aircraft also stand out from their surroundings much, much better.  The difference is staggering.

I'm truly hoping that ED is taking in to consideration the huge imbalance in game play between folks at 1080p and those at higher resolutions, in their new graphics engine, but until that engine is released, there's a massive disadvantage to playing at 4k, and the only reason I would advocate doing so is for making movies and playing single player for the 'pretty' factor.  If you play online, do not play 4k.  You'll never see another contact again.*
