harf4ng Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi, I need to replace my old video card, and I still wonder if I'll go the AMD or Nvidia route. Like either an RTX 3080 or AMD 6800 XT My thinking is... Nvidia has better raytracing, but for DCS and VR, raytracing is a bit useless isn't it? I think I can live without it. BUT the amd cards have 16 Gb of video memory whereas the 3080 has only 10. So isn't the video memory very important for DCS? Thanks Favorite modules : Huey, F-86F, F14 and P-51D Quest 2, RTX 3080, i7 10700K, 16 Gb of RAM, Pro Flight Trainer PUMA helicopter setup, Warthog HOTAS with two force sensitive stick, custom cockpit and a GS-Cobra dynamic seat.

VirusAM Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 3080ti is rumored to have 20gb There-are rumors also about the 3080 super.If they would make also a 3070 ti/super with 16gb it could be very interesting R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 Valve Index VPForce Rhino FFB, Virpil F-14 (VFX) Grip, Virpil Alpha Grip, Virpil CM3 Throttle + Control Panel 2, Winwing Orion (Skywalker) Pedals, Razer Tartarus V2 SpeedMaster Flight Seat, JetSeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harf4ng Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Maybe but how expensive will be the 3080ti? The 3080 is at about 900€. They will do the ti version at 1200 at least Also, with the lack of graphic cards, the 3080ti will be available at christmas ^^ 3 hours ago, jomaho said: check this... https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3080-vs-AMD-RX-6800-XT/4080vs4089 Those prices are far from what they really are Those cards are found at 300$ more than that ^^ Also we need VR benchmarks, and sim VR benchmarks. As sims in VR require not the same kind of stuff than 2D screen games...

TimberWolf Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Depends how desperate you are. Right now the best card is whatever is in stock at close to MSRP. Otherwise you might have a long wait ahead of you.
