Rick, you are, of course a very experienced and respected and helpful flyer here, so much thanks! It's interesting to me that AMD and NVidia can live together now, so hmmm, maybe I'll have to take Shootingstar2's advice! Still, I look at the difference in price between an NVidia GTX5080 -5090 and that's an eye-popper! Meanwhile, the AMD 980 X3D is affordable and supposedly better for gaming applications than even the next one, what, 995X3D, and also much better than Intel's latest offerings. But our sims don't act like other games, which is why I came here. I hope Pol or winder weigh in, don't want to bother them specifically... But yeah, thanks!
