I imagine there's alot of you who will be guru's about pc builds etc. I'm in debate of wanting to get a different GPU now I can't justify at this time spanking ridiculous amounts of money on the newest of cards but I was thinking of either a RTX 2080ti or a RTX 3070. I was wondering if people know what would perform better for DCS ? I don't use VR and use a single UHD Monitor using trackir.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Graphics Card ?
Re: Graphics Card ?
Hi, I happily ran a 42" 4k monitor on a 1080ti at 60fps with everything up at max or ultra, so unless you want to run at more than 60fps/60Hz (which was plenty for DCS), there's no need to lash out a large amount of cash. If you decide to go VR it's a whole different kettle of fish, as you said...

I'm not really up on prices at the moment but having bought a 3080ti just before Crimbo, 500 sounds good!

Re: Graphics Card ?
I agree with Roon, £500 isn’t bad at all considering what I stupidly paid for a 3080ti. However, I’m flying in VR so need the extra horsepower.

Hi beanie
I fly hp G2 on an Rtx 2080 and looking to upgrade asap, is the 3080 ti a major step up from your perspective?

I'm so sorry Wee Neil 0414, I completely missed your reply.
I don't know if it means anything to you now but I upgraded from a 1080 that I used with a Rift S.
The difference was night and day. All settings maxed and still got 45 fps per eye using the quest 2. Can see bogeys from about 35 miles away now.
I'd wait now until the 40 series comes out and try to grab one of the founders edition cards and msrp rather than the 100% markup ones.
Again, I am sorry I missed the message last time.
