New RTX 30xx is coming

the 3 PCIe x16 slots on my motherboard are not next to each other, so not an option for me (MSI Z97 Gaming 5).

You don't need three PCIe slots next to each other, just enough free space, meaning two empty slots next to your PCIe slot.

Got it. Thanks. Makes more sense, so my layout is actually good then, as it'll just be covering little slots, not the important x16 slots.

I run between 35-55 FPS with my system and a RTX 2070 Super. I also have never used more than 12GB of the 16GB system memory and about 7GB of the 8GB GPU memory. This is pushing two or three monitors and a 1080P projector.

This is according the the Developer's FPS count you can turn on via the Developer's task bar. The FPS counter also tells me that I am "mainthread" limited, which, if I understand correctly, is pretty much universal with all current CPUs. I am running at High settings as recommended by MSFS. I tried Ultra and using the 1920 x 1080 projector, I see very little difference, with exception of details further out, from the High settings.

So, my question is: Why would I want or need a larger more expensive GPS?

My system currently has the 1070 Founders Edition, but I can only run with a few settings on high and it still pauses when I get near a medium size city, much less a large one. Also, that's in a plane barely going 100 knots. I want to be able to fly over a city in an F-15 with most settings on high without a hiccup. I'm just thinking ahead. ;) Besides, they still don't have everything enabled in the sim and I also want to be able to handle future growth. Like power lines. I haven't seen a single power line anywhere.
 
With a 1060 and just moping around for a few years and skipping 20 series, I'm looking at the 3080 and MSFS has piqued my interest once again in flight simming. Besides the 3080 seems to handle RTX much better and I have a few games that use RTX.

Not only that but the potential future economy tanking.

So right Ted, but not just potentially.
Australia is officially in 'Recession', previously that dubious distinction was as far back as 1945 and then was relatively brief.
:pop4:

I should clarify that: we are in the worst recession since 1945, there have been a couple between then and now but no where as savage.

It's bad in Cali, foreclosed homes on the market...

Yes, sorry, I made the correction to my post. Still, some chassis may not support 3 slots.

'Official' 3 series release announcement made today (Saturday 05.09.2020) points to an interesting price structure.

In round numbers the Founder's Edition comes in at US$1600, with the two minor versions around US$900+/- and US$600+.
However, by the time resellers get their (17.09.2020.....yeah, sure!) supplies they expect to have a higher wholesale sticker price for limited supply.

Back on Planet Earth the consensus is more pragmatic, pricing aside, availability is more toward November-December.

:indecisiveness:
 
With the performance promised by the 3000 series cards, expect the cryptocurrency miners to be the first in line to snatch them up. I'd wager the retail price will be around 20% more than MSRP.
 
I think maybe the 3060 or one of the Radeon cards due cost. As it is now the best gpu's for mining are the N1660's and R5700's series cards.

Have to wait and see on the 3000 series.

 
As I know NDA is still present (till the 14th of September) but something was leaked (maybe?)


It follows that the differences are not as great as it was in the announcements but it is not bad.
