September 21, 20205 yr For those in the know, as opposed to me, what do you think? Will MSFS 2020 be GPU or CPU bottlenecked in VR? I use a 2080ti and an i7700k OC to 4.8GHz but now that this app is meant to be using multicore processing I am hoping we might see some improvement in VR performance on legacy sims. Thoughts?
September 21, 20205 yr I'm very interested in this question too. I've decided to go big on the 3090. My CPU is actually a bit old (Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151) so I'm resigned to CPU bottlenecking until I upgrade that, but I'm starting to read things that make me think even a 3080 is wasted.

September 21, 20205 yr Author I’d love to hear that a 3090 would be wasted in the same way I hope that SLI would also be wasted. At what point do we get off the train of wildly expensive rigs?
September 28, 20205 yr Based on this chart I think a GPU makes all the difference in the world. My sub $300 cpu (Ryden 3600) seems to get the same framerates as more expensive cpus with the same gpu card (2060 Super). I think the vid card is what counts the most... https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/microsoft-flight-simulator-(2020)-pc-graphics-performance-benchmark-review,7.html 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

I would love to hear about your experince with the new card once MSFS supports VR.

Maybe VR launches with DX12? That’s useful thanks. Does anyone want to take a stab at how VR performance might be like on something like a Reverb with a 2080ti when it’s eventually implemented for us plebs that don’t want to do the closed beta?
