I'm installing all my ORBX products right now.
Just for fun, I turned everything down to the lowest/off setting to see what I would get. I was using the default P3D scenario. It is Eglin Air Force Base, I think, with the F-22. I was getting 195/90 on my frames. After adjusting the resolution to the Max inside FlyInside, I was getting 140/90.
I tried upping the resolution to 4800 x 2967 to see what happened, and my framerate dropped to 130/90. I did not see any noticeable difference, so I went back to the max resolution on the flyinside menu.
I have played around with various settings, and I have seen frames as low as 28/90 with lots of AI traffic (100% on airlines, and 50% on all other). The biggest difference I have seen is that even at 28/90, I do not get any judder and it is entirely useable. With the 970 card, that would not have happened. If the sim framerate dropped much below 45, the async-timewarp would become unstable and I would get judder.
So, my overall first impression is that you will not see huge a huge difference in FPS in the simulator, but the async-timewarp seems to benefit from the 1080 to where the experience is totally enjoyable even at much lower sim framerate.
