I haven’t tried overclocking my 3090 as I haven’t really found a reason to yet. It’s been running all my games extremely well.

Nice. But heat in the case is another issue. I have 5x 140mm fans, at least 2x 120mm*38mm fans, a double-thick PCI-E slot blower fan, and even more cooling on top of that… the case is practically an open air windtunnel and the ambient motherboard temperature - just ambient around the PCI-E slots, the VRMs, etc - still can get above 60degC last I checked.
It’s already getting ridiculous.

Wow 2190 is awesome!!! Do you max out the fans to achieve this? I would be super happy if my incoming 3090 MSI Trio can do 2150 even!
That will be a huge CPU upgrade for sure! Dang, 1600w haha, thats crazy! Linus did 3090 SLI recently and peaked at 1025w 
So I still have big hopes my 1000W will survive another year or two…
It is. The latest CPUs are breaking the 300W barrier, and the AIO coolers are becoming notorious for corrosion.
Why don’t you just buy a machine from me? I am looking to get into that business, and you don’t have to use the deep cryogenic feature I plan to build in.

Yeah, that’s fans at 100% and with 480 watts power, lol. It does drop back from that as well under sustained stress. But happy with it, think I got lucky with the silicon.

I am designing a PCB to safely use a LiPo battery like a car battery does - to adequately maintain float voltage. Should help with that.

What you need is Jay’s home made AC cooling

…
anyway I prefer chilled water, optionally switchable to LN2

Yeah, It would love water as well. Would be able to maintain those clocks all day long and squeeze even more out of it.

I could of course! But Im a bit worried about 25% VAT and sh*t on arrival… Sweden, the home of tax-loving socialists.

Ah, well you want the best, what’s another 25%? 
Besides, we both have more than one 8kX headset. We deserve good computers for them.
Well, for 25% extra frames, I am willing to pay 25% extra taxes lol!
I totally agree!
This is quite interesting though. Despite the fact FS2020 seems to reply on single-core performance, it still scales a little better the more cores used.
Does this mean a 16 core 5950X will scale better than a 5900X with 12 cores? Or am I just getting fooled here?

Just curious, do you have pics of your builds?

There is a photo of some of my current machines somewhere in the Pimax Vision 8kX video I did a while back… and the VR workstation is in a lot of the NYC Roadshow pictures/videos…
Probably not. This same effect occurs with DCS World to a point, largely due to the SteamVR compositor and a few other processes keeping at least one CPU core 100% busy, and OS kernel task schedulers… not being perfect.
It doesn’t change the fact that disabling HyperThreading - halving the number of CPU cores - improves performance.

Yeah its not really a DCS exclusive case either. Seems like most single core applications runs better without HT. I remember the same happened with Xplane11.
But its still quite interesting that fps goes 45->48->51 with 4/6/8 cores. I wonder how it would look with 16 cores.

This picture basically proves that there is not real “thread-ing” in MS2020 and the slight perf increase is just a side effect of some processes getting free threads, but these processes are, judging by the differences, insignificant in the bigger picture. Having even more cores would not have much of the impact.
What may help though, is the better IPC on 59**X. But better wait for some independent benchmarks.

I see, yeah that makes sense.
Kinda the same thing when I moved windows applications to specific cores (with Process Lasso) to free up core 0 and 1 for XPlane11. Gave quite a nice boost, up to a point.
Yep. The 19% IPC increase is my biggest hope here.

I’m waiting til Oct.28 to see the AMD introduction of the 6900 series. If they use less power for equivalent performance (outside of Raytracing, which I don’t really care about, the Radeon will be my obvious choice. Cheaper, and no need to spend a couple hundred bucks on a new PSU? Oh yeah, and 16gigs of vram instead of 10 in the 3080.
We’ll see. Whichever brand gives me the most bang for the buck will be my choice.
