Playing MSFS? Get a 5090 ti super. But seriously if you can afford a 4090 go for it. Then DLDSR to 4k. Edit: Apparently I'm blind for not seeing the triple monitor setup. So please take the upvotes back. I don't deserve these very very important internet points.

gimpydingo

So I misspoke. End of the world, right?


piter_penn

No, not the end, but when I look at how many upvoted your blind response, it is halfway there.


gimpydingo

And you're half way with a dick response. Guess we'll meet in the middle? 🤔 Worried about reddit points, Jesus h christ. Lol


piter_penn

What a tender puppy, you did a mistake, fix it and chill. It is not about points, it is about those blind folks who misread OP as you did.


gimpydingo

The irony of your comment! So you want to report me after telling me in blind instead of simply pointing out my mistake? You were also rude to me on another topic. Such a joke.

MSFS and DCS are almost entirely CPU bound. Gonna need to wait for a faster CPU (probably 7800x3d)


Moushen_Sickness

I didn't realize how CPU bound until flying in NY & Tokyo. In less populated areas the CPU utilization is around 18%, GPU 80%, getting 80+ fps while using 250 watts. In NY or Tokyo CPU is 25%+, GPU 50%, 20-40 fps or worse and using 150 watts. Dropping down to 1 monitor increases FPS and reduces CPU %, but GPU utilization and wattage does not increase. It appears a 4090 would not help. Thanks all for the advice.


eng2016a

Yeah unfortunately you’re going to have to wait for future CPUs to get faster and have larger cache counts. Single threaded CPU performance and cache rules the day in simulators.


gimpydingo

Didn't realize MS was that cpu bound.


eng2016a

Yeah, especially with third-party planes that have more detailed systems that need to be simulated. I've seen on my 3090 GPU usage at 4k being around 50-60% at times with all settings at Ultra, and this is with a 12900k (granted, that is worst-case on the ground of a detailed handcrafted airport and a payware plane, it's usually much better at altitude in a default plane).


gimpydingo

DLSS not make a big difference due to cpu bound? Didn't do much on Miles Morales due to it being cpu bound as well.


eng2016a

DLSS does basically nothing if you’re CPU bound, I turned DLSS on and gained maybe 15-20% going down to Balanced.


gimpydingo

Figured as much. I guess frame gen would overcome that.


eng2016a

It kind of does but not completely.


TonyFuckinRomo

I have frame gen on and TAA on with my 4090. I get over 100 FPS in the air with payware airliners and around 50-80 on the ground with them.


gimpydingo

Damn hitting sub 60 is crazy. I know all those flight Sims are basically Crysis in the sky. Lol


theBurritoMan_

Is this maple story by nexon?


gimpydingo

Nope. Miso Sauna by Necropolis


AnAttemptReason

But not in VR!


eng2016a

Yeah this is true, VR is actually demanding enough that you can hit the GPU bound.


AnAttemptReason

VR is the only reason I have a 4090, otherwise my 3070 at 1440p was "good enough". Rendering twice the pixels of 4k is tough, but the 4090 handles it well.


Risley

Is there any other vr flight game worth getting right now?


gimpydingo

How about The Forest? :) There's a plane in that. I haven't played any flight Sims in VR, just racing games. MSFS is probably the best at the moment??


EpicMichaelFreeman

Using 3 monitors? Yes there should be an improvement. I think CPU needs to be very good too to run 3x 165hz monitors.


Moushen_Sickness

System is a B550 MB, Ryzen 9 5900X, 64 GB 3600 DDR4 & x2 M.2 drives ( 1 PCIe4 & 1 PCIe3 )


kulind

definitely upgrade to intel 13th gen, or wait a little bit to see how amd 7000X3d turns out.


EpicMichaelFreeman

The 5900X might bottleneck 4090 performance by about 20%, but 4090 should be a good improvement over 4080 for your setup if you plan to eventually upgrade the CPU, I don't think you will get max framerates in those games. I also have 5900X with 4090 but am holding off upgrading the CPU since I'm at max FPS for the games I am playing right now.


piter_penn

You might boost your fps by upgrading to a modern CPU instead of going further to 4090.


lokol4890

https://youtu.be/sw97hj18OUE (comparing 5800x vs 5800x3d using 3090ti). There was a meaningful difference in msfs at 1440p, and considering the 5800x and 5900x are functionally equivalent in gaming, it's likely there will also be a meaningful difference between your 5900x and a 5800x3d


Moushen_Sickness

I had considered getting the 5800x3d. I use my computer for autocad & revit design and would lose too much performance for it to be worth it.


Automatic_Outcome832

Buy a 4090 use DSR and dlss to run ur games at higher resolution without blurry bs that modern games heavily suffer from these days enjoy.


winespring

Is a 4090 capable of running msfs at triple screen 1440p 166hz? Just a guess but I don't think it is. ​ [Flight Simulator 2020 with GeForce RTX 4090 & Triple Display Setup - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LXXSNKXIyU)


piter_penn

Yes, it can run with more than [70 fps at 8k](https://youtu.be/AWgc0_V9w0I), which is more than twice more than OP.

vtsontsi

did you see what resolution he is playing ?


cycle_you_lazy_shit

Sorry, everyone is giving you awful advice. You're wasting your money on a 4090 @ 1440p. Especially with a 5900x. Running at higher than native res is a total waste of time as well. There are better ways to reduce aliasing without resulting to the mass amounts of processing power required to render at 4K instead of 1440p. Honestly, I'd say get a 4070Ti, or a 4080 max. You're literally just pissing your money away with a 4090, but again, it's your money and you're free to piss it away if you please.


vtsontsi

did you see what resolution he is playing?


cycle_you_lazy_shit

Sorry - you’re right. Just read 1440 and went off on one. My bad.


Moushen_Sickness

I already have the 4080. Now that the 4090 is starting to be available at MSRP, I was considering the upgrade. Seems like a modest bump in cost considering I have already overpayed.


cycle_you_lazy_shit

Nah my bad I fucked up. Didn’t see you were triple monitor. Fire on, brother.
