Mine is a 3080 12gb Strix overclock. I got it to make my current PC all same gen with a 5800x3d. It's waaaay overkill for AH so anyone looking for a card JUST to play AH might consider a lower tier card. I haven't even logged into IL-2 in a while but I'd get around 65fps in that one with stuff fairly max'd out. My latest jam is MSFS which is far more demanding with graphics especially in VR. I fight to stay in the 40s in VR with that one. And I'm in VR almost all the time now. Can't go back to a monitor flying now.
While I'd like to upgrade to a 40 or 50 series card, not only are they crazy expensive--that whole cable melting thing has me really turned off. I thought it was a bad idea the first time I saw it and once the 40 series ones started melting I was like--uh huh--saw that coming. It's simple physics! There's a reason the wires in your house are the gauge they are--so that your house doesn't burn down! Those rules are kinda universal in electricity and these guys were just trying to come up with a more stylish power cord. That didn't work. But did that stop them from putting basically the same under-rated cord on the 50 series cards that pull about 100 amps more than the 40s that melted? Nah! I'm interested to see how that whole thing plays out. I watch a couple of YT video card repair guys that say they were getting the 40 series melteds in every week. I don't buy the "user error" excuse. If it's that easy to screw up, it should be designed better to rule that out if it's happening this much.
There's that and the thing Mayhem is talking about with the missing ROPs. How in the heck does that even happen? Talk about bad QC!
