ASUS RTX 3080 OC Strix Review

Microsoft Flight Simulator

A title that doesn’t just require you to have some beefy hardware to maximise the visuals, but also a fairly empty hard drive to squeeze on one of the largest install sizes on the market, the newest instalment in the famous Flight Simulator series is gorgeous. Without any combat you’ve plenty of time with which to appreciate the satellite based ground imagery as well as the hand-crafted airports. With all the detail settings maximised it’s a stern test of your system.

Since we first tested the other Ampere cards in our graph there has been a significant performance upgrade patch, so take the Strix matching the RTX 3090s at 1080 with a pinch of salt. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to retest every possible card on every game every time there is a patch.
