You're lucky to be a pilot and from Germany! As a poor engineer in Turkey, 4090 would cost me 6 months of income thanks to Erdo

Welcome to the club! Upgraded a while ago to a 4090 and 7800x3d, the experience is super smooth. :)

Congrats on the new card! Have you tried the ' Forest enhancement mod ' yet? There are few addons to help 'control' vegetation. It helps make cities look more like cities.

Congrats on your purchase! I've been using a 4090 in VR for a while now and that's not using frame generation but it's an absolute game changer for VR as it makes it possible to run 2500 x 2500 per eye displays in high settings in MSFS and it looks absolutely georgeous. I had switched back to DX11, so thanks for the reminder for DX12+FG, I'd forgotten that for the flat screen. 👍

I got a 4070 TI last year and what you said. Total game changer. Had to upgrade the CPU as well because it could not keep up with the card. If I get any short stutter, it is now because the servers cant deliver fast enough when flying low in a military jet.

I also switched to a 4090 last week, and I got to say, it is quite amazing (coming from a 3070Ti). Same thoughts process as you, with the addition of considering VRAM. Initially I was going for the 4080, but as games tend to use more and more VRAM, I ended up buying the 4090 as it as more VRAM than the 4080.

I have a pny 4090.I am a vr user upgraded from a 3080 and its a huge difference, All the 4090s are pretty much the same so dont worry about not getting the most expensive one, The Zotac card will serve you just fine.

Been watching a lot of your videos ever since I got into Flight Simulators. I've also looked up a lot of "improve-your-graphics" videos on Youtube and beyond, but the settings you mentioned in the beginning of the video shot my FPS from mid 60s to high 100s. Absolutely insane! I love it. (W/ RTX 3080)

[Gerardius]

Congratulations for the graphics card, enjoy it! I also had a 3080 TI and recently I bought an RTX 4080 and the difference is incredible.

[omxs]

Congratulations on your purchase! I went for 13700k with 4080 FE for my new setup, the sim looks really awesome, everything is so smooth🔥

I installed my 4070 yesterday as well and what can I say. For wqhd no higher card is necessary. I can land on KLAX from Ini with FSLTL and Fenix and this brings constant 60 locked fps. By using an older 10th Gen I 9

Hi Emi!! Have you tried it with PMDG 737?? I’m still sticking to TAA due to the blurring at the 737 screens - mainly the numbers. That annoys me a lot… have a nice weekend!!!

Very nice upgrade captain! I think that your micro stutters might be due to your CPU. Cause in order to really take advantage of a 4090, your CPU needs to be recent, otherwise you can experience bottlenecking.

[PatrickBijvoet]

Congratz on the new card. I am a little surprised that the Nvdia RTX3080 dit not work with you. Although I do not have KJFK jet, I do have Manchester, Brussels and London Heatrow and have no problems at all and everything on Ultra, with GSX and FSLTL Live traffic in combination with Justflight FStrafic. Maybe it is my SSD of other hardware which makes the difference. But I am wondering why with some people it just works and with others not.

[yannis]

Hi Emmanuel, I am on a 4080 and I was very annoyed by the stutters you mentioned when moving around fast. That is due to the frame generation. I turned it off and switched back to DX11 and still get a decent fps around 50 with my card. With your card you should definitely get 60+ which is enough for a smooth experience.

[RobAirepicflights]

I recently upgraded from 3070 to 4070 and I can tell you, the difference is also night and day, believe me, no need to go all the way to 4090 . I am honestly experiencing such a huge difference, settings 2k on ultra wide monitor, TAA, DX12 and rtx turned on via nvidia, almost everything on ultra high in sim and so far smooth as butter, I paired my 4070 with i7 10700k, 32gb 3600 mhz ram and windows 11

Congratulations brother! You made a good purchase for sure. I really like mine it's a huge upgrade on everything for my setup, not just MSFS. The one thing I would heavily advise caution on is the power connector on the card itself. These connectors are known to be finicky. I wouldn't add any power cable modifications what so ever, no 90-degree connectors, power extension cables, and avoid any aggressive bending or stress on the connector during your cable management. Finally I would also suggest that your 4090 have 3 dedicated PCIe cables connected to it. The card pulls a lot of power and splitting a PCIe cable can be a risky idea.

You are also 100% correct regarding the frame generation compatibility. All 40 series cards are equipment with that option. The biggest difference is the 4090 has considerably more vram.

If you don't all ready you might look into MSI afterburner over clocking software. You don't necessarily need to overclock your card, but it's nice to make sure the voltage is unlocked so you're able to get 100% of the card when it's needed. If you do decide you want to try out Afterburner, just make sure you get it from MSI's official website. There was a fake version of the software going around a while ago that had malicious software in it.

Having the extra vram also helps. I’ve flown into a few sceneries that us up to 20gb. Not having enough vram can also cause stutters. Great card, enjoy.

The lead-in lights are an incredible addition to JFK and the first I've seen in over three decades of flight simming! Nice job inibuilds. I agree, that is an amazing approach due to the curving flight path along the Belt (Shore) Parkway. It looks awesome to watch from the ground as well. I lived in the area for several years. Also fun flight I've flown IRL (small GA aircraft) is from Republic Airport (KFRG) to the Hudson river corridor. JFK tower keeps you below the Class B at 500' MSL until approaching the Hudson. ATC actually says "at or below 500", but I stay as high as possible! 😆It's the only time I've ever flown at 500' for any length of time....along the beaches. Fun flying, but you have to be on your toes at all times. 😂 Enjoy the 4090, it's an incredible card and gives me a very enjoyable experience in VR (coming from a 3080), with DCS and MSFS (the only things I use it for).👌🏾

Happy to see your up and running with photogrammetry. Didn’t realize u had it turned off with your previous videos. Interestingly, i have a a RTX 3070 and my photogrammetry is active with most other settings ultra high and i have no issue. But i do like the idea of a 4090 graphics card. Maybe I’ll take the plunge!

By the way, that airfield on the left when making Canarsie approach is Floyd Bennett field.
