X-plane has been a huge disappointment for me.
Neither Vulkan nor the 8K-X brought any big difference to the clarity due to the horrible engine. CPU frametimes are simply sh*t, no amount of GPU power or resolution is going to change that. Running it at 37Hz with Smart smoothing simply doesn’t cut it for me.
I grind my teeth every time I run it (and I’m doing a PPL IRL, so I could use the practice).
Judging by Nvidia’s previous generation I’d rate the chance for a 20GB card low but there could be a beefy upgrade if a 3080 TI is released. Super cards shipped with the same amount of RAM.
8GB: 1080, 2080/2080 Super
vs
11GB: 1080 TI, 2080 TI
True. I’d prefer the nVidia FE version (because of the cooler design), but if need be, I’ll go with some other brand. nVidia has said that their partners may release a 20GB version.
I think the odds of 20GB versions are much higher, now that AMD has announced that their models will all have 16GB.
i had some crashes in beta after my vram usage increased from 98 to 99%. Decreased details or less supersampling solved it. The Syria Map is very demanding.
Hi,
I plan to buy Pimax8KX (at preorder now) and also I will do my PC upgrade for new motherboard, CPU, RAM and of cause new GPU.
I’d like to raise few topics, any opinions welcome:
I expect that at 8K resolutions, the PCI-E 3.0 bottleneck will be shown, specially when in parallel fast SSD M.2 drives will be installed. However I didn’t see any 8K benchmarks with RTX 2080Ti on Intel (PCI-E 3.0) vs AMD (PCI-E 4.0).
I doubt that. I’d estimate it to be under $1000, hopefully under $900 (assuming you wait for the initial orders to die down). My understanding is that the GPUs are few, due to Samsung 8nm yield issues. That means for the first few months, prices will be extra high, probably above MSRP.
Also, unfortunately, the 3080 appears to be an excellent coin mining card: 3 to 4 times the performance of a 2080 (at mining, not graphics) and uses less energy per coin. That means competition for 30xx cards will be very high.
That looks good
Hmm, my 2080ti is 28% above the FE, almost on a par with the 3080.
Now the question is what can the 3080 do with OC?
It sounds like you may want to skip the 30xx generation, at least until a 3080Ti/Super is released.
wil see, what the 3090 says.
But to be honest, I would like an RTX Titan for 1000-1200 euros . It’s not faster than my Ti, but it fits my cooler and brings me more vram.
Welcome to the OpenMR Forum! I have bumped your user level by 1 for your convenience. 
GamerNeXus has some great info on Bandwidth with Gpus. Tbh atm it is too soon to see how much gains one might get with PCIX 4.0. However for gains NVNE ssdd still worth it imho.
Back with DDR3 intel was slower than Amd to adopt. What it comes down to is comparing games you want to run vs CPU to see if there is enough gains to go with A or B. And other programs you run.
dlss…
raw power interests us.
How long the developers had the chance to integrate Multi GPU from VRworks? 3 years, 4 years? Nothing has happened.
Until DLSS appears in our games, there will be 4099ti Superdooper or so.
Trust me, I really hope so. Maybe I am just weathered from previous launches haha. I think a single 3090 would be ideal. Let’s see
Majority of programmers more want agnostic features used acrossed gpus versus propietary sdks.
Though some do adopt flags of one or the other.
Agreed, but I don’t want to spend that much. A 20GB 3080 Ti/Super is much more appealing to me.
Maybe an OC’d 3080Ti would perform better anyway. Do we know when the performance NDA lifts? The 3080 release is only a week away and NV don’t allow pre-orders 
Pimax is going public? Which exchange?
He’s talking about the Pimax Experience beta going public…

Much less true of the VR and gaming industries, than the compute intensive science, engineering, and cryptocurrency ‘mining’ fields.
After all, we are using MSW itself to begin with, instead of Linux.
