Upgrading your Dad's machine with an i7-10700K and a 3080 (10 GB) card should provide him with a decent experience in MSFS 2024. However, if he's only running 16GB of RAM, I would increase it to 32.

4060 for 150 ad sitting for 3 weeks? US is crazy.. Here in Canada used ones are selling for 300+ CAD and if it's 250 or less they're flying away in few hours after being posted on marketplace (I was looking for one few months ago).

You could have replaced the entire cooler with an aftermarket one. Zotac basically uses the same exact founder edition's PCB but uses their own HSF and charges a little bit less than an actual founders edition card.

That is what I'm talking about finding good deals on GPUs and you cannot go wrong with that. This is why we love what we do is build systems for our needs and is functional for the use as PC builders we set it for nice on the 8GB 4060 GPU.
@9089672 ай бұрын
The reason your not seeing much of a difference in the gpu swap on your test bench is because your cpu bottlenecked. With a stronger cpu you can see as much as a 40% fps difference between the two gpu's. But since your only doing a "mobile" 1080p gaming setup that 4060 is fine.

Yeah the low profile 4060 is a lot better card for an SFF build. Power draw will drop by 200w so the thermals should be fine in ITX case. 😃 Not to mention the size and not having to use the octopuss dongle. 🤣For a 120 bucks that card was a very good deal. Perfect for a 1080p SFF rig. 👍 And btw the 3080 should be about as fast as a 4070 sooo there mite be something else going on with your test setup. Looking at your CPU usage it maybe that the CPU is a bit of a bottleneck for both GPU's and more so for the 3080.

For your dad I would switch to AM4 used CPU 5700X3D with a 96Mb L3 cache is much better in F Simulator and a decent used MBO. Power draw of the 5700X3D is max 141W while gen 10 I 7 is about 190 W so the Zen 3 is easier to cool and better performer in FS. In the long run you'll suck more performance out of the AM4 platform and longer driver support than intel 10 gen MBO chipset . The 3080 will overheat even in a well cooled case, is a power hog specially the FE but, than in FS the 320 bit VRAM will be very helpful.

i would take advantage of having a 40 series card and try Cyberpunk as theres 40series exclusive settings in that game. i think theres two path tracing wants 4070Ti or 3090 but there is another setting thats just 40series, otherwise in all honest i fail to see the benefit of having 40series over 30series.
@fragalot2 ай бұрын
a 4060 is slightly under the performance of a 2080, and much better than a 1080ti. It should still perform much lower than 3080 but that likely depends on the game and if there's some hard FPS limit to a given game title. So a 4060 is not a bad card, it's just NVIDIA prices it badly. For the price of a 4060 you can get an Rx 7600 XT for $50 less and performs the same, assuming you don't care about RTX, which drops performance anyway, but FSR on AMD is real good right now on modern cards.

offcourse it's running better.. you never have heard of bottlenecks? big ass gpu on a less capable cpu, will be less frames because they (cpu and/or gpu are waiting on each other..) i got an 3070+6800xt on a 5800x3d. while my second pc (bit older intel i7/6700k is running a 5700xt i even think thats bottlenecking the cpu. but i don't wanna put the gtx 1070 back ;p (because of linux)
