Thanks folks, been doing some more reading here and it seems the G5 is a forum favourite at this price point.
Lucky I stumbled upon the right choice then!
Hi all,
I just pulled the trigger on a Samsung Odyssey G5 27" for £282 on Amazon. Need to give back the 1080P cheapo that I’ve been borrowing from work these past months. This is for my dedicated Flight Sim rig.
I would welcome people’s thoughts on whether I’ve made the right purchase…
My PC...
Makes sense to me! Thanks Scott and Mr W!
So what I’m hoping is the final question before I put this all to bed... 3080 vs 3070 for VR, I’m lead to believe it’s night and day and I NEED the 3080 for FS2020 VR.
That statement is true... right? I shouldn’t save my cash (over £2k is a stretch)...
Ah right I think I get it!
So in essence my choice is:
A) single 1tb 970 for speed, everything on this drive.
...or...
B) 500gb 970 for OS, and second M.2 drive for FS2020 + DLC + documents + other gubbins
Hi Mr W,
I’m not planning on downloading any DLC in the short term, medium/long term yes. I don’t have the cash to be buying loads of add on scenery and the aircraft I’m interested in won’t be released for a while yet.
So I could get a single PCIe4 drive, then add another down the line for...
Thanks all for the help. Nearly there - Windows 10 newbie question on storage...
Please could some kind soul explain to me the difference in usage of the primary and secondary drives?
My understanding is that the OS and all programs (i.e. FS2020) are installed on the main drive, and documents...
Thanks, okay good to know on the mobo.
And on the GPU, remember my aim is FS2020 in VR - which I gather essentially I could spend thousands and the sim would still bottleneck when the graphics are slightly turned up. My understanding is that every little will help, but I know I’m never going to...
Cheers Gavras! I was just posting a Q about SSD storage then saw your reply.
So, upped budget, GPU, M2 storage.
Thoughts please!

Thanks, good to know!
Having done more research, it’s becoming clear that FS2020 in VR really needs all the power you can throw at it... and it’ll still be slow... so for me to get anywhere close to a smooth VR experience (the target is constant 30fps) I’m going to have to increase my budget to...
Hi folks, first build ever, would love your thoughts.
I've followed the build guides and advice on the forum, what an amazing resource - thank you guys.
Quite simply - I want to run FS2020 in VR. I have an Oculus Quest 2 on the way.
Aiming for £1500 budget.
