Back in January,
Well I finally gave up last week and was 'lucky' enough to buy a 3090 Founders Edition at RRP. This was double what I was planning to spend (which was already more than double what I have spent in the past), but preferable to spending more on a lesser card.
It is a monster - performance, size and power consumption! I now have all settings at Ultra at 4K and MSFS runs beautifully, even over London. VR still maxes out the GPU and I have settings set lower with reduced frame rate. The next software update is supposed to double VR framerates (due end of July).
My PC chassis is a fairly large tower but I still needed to get the Dremel out to accommodate the triple-width card.
