Hi. My MSfs 3090 spec was discussed in this thread if interested. MS FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020 SPEC PC: COMMENTS ON ADEQUACY? My one comment would be consider 64gb ram, in case wanting other things like weather engines since have read ram usage can hit 30gb in very detailed scenery and also have...

This is mine, its a Lian Li Shell (silver). Contains the remnants of my last self build. I think it would be fine for my new PC but it would cost more to ship it to PC Specialist than is worthwhile and I decided not to spend time and risk on a self build for this new PC. I'll fit some new...

Thanks Dudbro I will post here when I eventually get this up and running. The GPUs are hard to get so am going to have a wait. Screen arrived today however, slightly used off Amazon for just under 1k for a Samsung G9.

PS Ash, thanks for your observation re my original spec, I think the feedback here has been v useful on the heat front. I do actually have a very nice Lian Li Shell 20th edition special case but I just dont want the trouble of sending it to have PCspecialist fit the kit, so opted unwisely for a...

Sibun1: not at all, you're certainly helping and assisting my thoughts and Ive changed case and cooler thanks to help here. Thing is, I do find quite a few references to that Vram on the 3080 and the forthcoming DX12 and to cities such as LA and New York exceeding 10GB in VRAM which I think...

Well, this alternative AMD spec comes in at £3765 inc VAT which is basically same cost as the other spec. There is some evidence online that the AMD5950X is a bit faster on MSFS but that possibly Intel has it by a nose (insignificantly) at 4k resolution, so Im proably sticking with the Intel...

Interesting I will price up an AMD alternative and think about it. TBH I suspect Intel and AMD would come out much the same but interested to look at the pricing.

Yes may do. I've deleted the cheapo fan. Thanks for everyones help. Im still hovering over whether so save £800 by 'only' having a 3080 GPU I gather when DX12 comes out it will be VRAM heavy though and MSFS is going to be using it. Hmm.

PC Specialist only offer just the one fan option there I am afraid if buying a single one (I cant be bothered to so a self build on this). I may just remove it and save a fiver or whatever since its a big case. Can you say more on the Vram: surely if a card tops out its VRAM that would have...

Thanks - on the RAM, Im going for 64GB so that the SSD wont be used for much page file swapping, and also having read reports that in some circumstances running MSFS alone has pushed up as far as 30GB ram usage for complex cities (and I would eventually be running other ancillary software...

Hi. My basis for the 3090 is that the ram of the 3080 is potentially exceeded where the most complex scenery and detail is in use, from some reports. Yes I would sooner have a hypothetical 3080 with say 18GB video memory but faced with 10GB on the 2080 or 24GB on the 3090 I feel the added ram...

No I havent done a runner! I am fairly keen on sticking to Intel - the past history of Intel being higher performance with MSFS is what sells that to me and no experience with AMD. Thanks for the comments on the cooler and case, I may consider changing those (the order will not even start to be...

Hello, I've ordered the spec set out below for using almost wholly for MS Flight Simulator 2020 and maybe FSX, and the display size will be 5120 x 1440 on a single Samsung Q9 monitor (curved). I'm likely over time to add addon scenery, and extras like weather generators and related software...

Hi I use a 3 Screen setup for FSX at the moment, and want to upgrade since my system was high spec in 2007. I may switch to Prepar3D in due course and want to be able to overclock. Does anyone have any tweaks preferably based on experience, to this suggested spec which might have a real impact...
