I've spent the last five years working my hind end off developing simulator related projects. I've plumbed all of my limited income into building a studio worthy of the task. When we went 64 bit, I knew it was time to step up to the plate...again. Daylight has had my six the whole way, working just as hard as me and never complaining once.
I fly four sims currently, soon to be five, then six. I favor one, but need to beta in all platforms because I intend to develop for all platforms. Call me crazy.
Today, Daylight quietly went online and ordered...drum roll...an
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING, 11G-P4-6593-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, iCX
to replace my GTX 780, which is being sent to the BU box for some well earned rest.
Like many here, I am on a fixed income...at least until I re-enter the oceans of commerce, so this was a monster of a step for a monster of a card. The main justification is marketing related. Smooth video in state-of-the-art simulators is an absolute must. Running all of the eye candy, weather, traffic, 4K textures and other bling requires horsepower. This GPU certainly meets muster.
When I get things up to speed I'll contribute some video and performance evaluations and share what little expertise I have with anyone interested in the techie bits.
Right now...I might go open a cold one and celebrate a personal, and hard earned reward. I'm going to then kiss my wife...well maybe not in that order, but you get the drift.
BTW...I painted the bike, built the engine....and married the girl....
