Lumus and RTX 3090

Can anyone tell me if an Nvidia RTX 3090 will fit a DS Lumus case? I bought mine with a 1000 corsair power supply, which I think is enough. My only concern is the length of the card since I have a water cooling radiator mounted on the front fans.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I am waiting to see if they will come out with a 3080 with more than 10 gig RAM. I feel like 8 Gigs of RAM is the new standard for future games, and buying a new RTX card with only 2 more gigs of RAM is not a good idea, cause we all know Nvidia's marketing strategy, they will come out with an RTX 3080 with more than 10 gigs eventually. When I am ready and they have them back in stock I am going for the one that has more than 10 gigs of RAM.

You're going to have a long wait. Games don't demand much in video RAM. That spec is more about what monitor resolution you are driving and frame rates. Burn money if you must, but both of these cards are designed for 4k gaming and are overkill for anything less.

FS 2020 is a different animal for sure.

I saw a chart of FS 2020 on both RTXs, and the 3090 beat the 3080 like by 18 FPS. I started on PCs back in 1983. Used to build my own for our family. Me and my kids had PCs with DFX Voodoo piggyback cards (remember those?) in every room. It got to the point that it became to expensive and aggravating to update my 3 PCs every two years because of new and more demanding software title. Most recently, like I posted above, I made the mistake "again" by not buying the most expensive card and now after just a year and a half I have a 2070 that already have to be replaced, and THAT is where the wasted money is.
Flight Simulator 2020 recommends 32 Gigs of RAM, but since I have 64 Gigs I am Ok. I could have saved money too at the time by not going with an i9-9900k, but I made the right choice. Also, I am glad I bought a Corsair 1000 watts PS with my system. Someone would have said at that it was an overkill. Now we know that it is exactly what I need with the 30 Series cards.
By the way, my Lumus DS system had been the best built I have ever had and beautiful too. I got the silicone lottery on both my CPU and RTX card. Was able to OCK my CPU to 5 ghz on all cores with just the basic two fan DS Liquid cooled system and after running Sandra benchmarks and others others for hours, the hottest it gets is 72C on a couple of cores and that is with the starting voltage for an OCd i9-9900. Been lucky with my 2070 too. My next system, if I live long enough, will be another DS for sure.

And January is if 3090 sales were to be very poor after release, than nVidia would launch the 20G 3080 variant to fill the gap. Sales good on the 3090, no need to release just yet. Saw a video today that shows that the 3090 is not a replacement to the Titan lineup. Yes, it is faster than a Titan card for Games, but they did some benchmarking on some scientific applications and the Titan was actually faster. Apparently, according to the tech reviewing, Nvidia did not activate or disabled some features so the card won't compete with their next Titans and Quadro cards. The 3090 will fly on my system, and I am willing to wait. For one thing, I do not plan ever to play on a 4K monitor. I just love ultra wide screens better, specially for my FS.

I too plan on getting FS2020 as I have always loved the FS games. Microsoft's titles in FSims have really never been optimized very well. Over the years I did learn to tweak my FS to squeeze as much out of them as possible. I will be flying on the 3080 though. There are some guides already out there on tweaking FS 2020, so I will probably be diving in to those once my new rig gets here and I get it all set up.

You should soar with that 3090. As far as Titans go I know nothing. The price alone makes me NOT want to know anything about them.

Best of luck on your rig and with FS2020. Please let us,(me), know how FS2020 does on your setup.
