GPU ???

So EVGA announced they were not going to offer the 4k series of Nvidia.

I'm a bit bummed over that, I have been saving to jump into a new card at that level, since It took so long to get there and the pricing looks like it won't be much more or different than the 3k series has been for way too long.

Any recommendations on other makers?

I have an ASUS 970 atm but not impressed on it physical structure. I had to brace it to keep it from sagging in the case.

All my older EVGA were built like tanks.

NewEgg has been promoting off brands that I'm unfamiliar with Yeaston, Maxsun etc.

I have a Gigabyte Mobo and it has been flawless, so I'd consider one of their cards.

All my ASUS mobo's and this 970 have worked flawlessly through the years.

I had an AsRock and MSI bite me though.

I may still consider a 3080/90 depending on how and if the 4k series affects the pricing.

I haven't done any research on the latest from Radeon, any of you?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Toad, in my opinion unless you are going to go VR I dont think the 3090/4090 is good value. If you go 4K screens the "dots" will be small so it probably will be harder to spot. A good CPU is very important for Il-2. I would ask here as some people know a lot more than me. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/forum/18-hardware-software-and-controllers/

Thanks Crash, I asked here first because I know and trust my Friends before the rest.

I am more interested in the 4k but would like to be able to do VR if so inclined, to spend the money on it.

I just spent a grand on a 42" LG 4K TV designed for gaming.

It is sweet, 4k looks awesome on it even with the 970, but it lacks the hsp, for BOS AND DCS but original IL2 AND COD type games once the config is tweak, smooth as butter, and gorgeous for what they are, were.

o I now finally have a monitor that will display 2" gauges, @ 2" so I can lock in my seat position and Head track from there, and throw away my zoom key, this should create a realistic sized atmosphere roughly even without VR. I think anyway.
