Hi

 

I'm about to build my own pc for flight simulator. I'm not sure if I should take the gtx 1080 or if the gtx 1080 ti is worth the extra money. By the way i'm living in switzerland so the prices are different: Asus GTX 1080 A8g costs 720CHF so about 800USD.

My other components are;

Case; Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX tempered glass

CPU: Intel Core I7 7700K

MoBo: Asus Prime Z270A

RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance LED white

CPU cooler: Corsair H115i

 

Thanks in advance

Are you looking to play 4k or high refresh 1440p? Then go with the 1080ti. If you want 1440p ultra or high refresh 1080p go with the 1080

I'm playing on 2 1080p monitors

X-plane (the flight simulator) is very graphics demanding

I would get a second hand GTX 1080 now that the 1080ti is out there will be good deals of it out there and use an ultrawide 2560x1080p 29inch over two 1920x1080 monitors

Is there any good ultrawide monitor for under 250CHF or EUR in Switzerland or Germany?

And here two 1080 are much more expensive than one 1080 ti
