Only if you compare like for like.
I'd question the need for 4090s + with the current resolutions used in gaming for many years. We seem to be on a hardware sellers hype train that we can get off whenever we want to.
In part it's down to hardware reviewers pushing the latest and greatest for clicks - rather than being sensible, poorly optimised games and technologies which frankly aren't adding much to the experience but are resource hungry.

Zeus answers are out but they really didn't answer much. There were some good questions submitted and not answered. Pilot is pilot, the other two seats can gun and use the toys.
I think it's clear the Zeus is going to be slow and armour tanky. With the Spirit and other med sized ships, they clearly seem to be going down pick A, B, C route. Speed, guns, tank.

I really like the spirit tbh. Good size, utility and layout inside is relatively no nonsense.
Prefer it to the larger MSR if I’m honest.
I went from a Threadripper 2950x and 1080ti to the 7800X3D and 7900XTX. I don't think the CPU helped as much as the GPU though. Both had 32GB of decent RAM. CPU maybe helps but think it'll come down to whether your CPU or GPU is causing the bottleneck, it was likely the GPU in my case.
CPU usage in game at 3440x1440 now is generally around 50-60% max, where as the GPU is from 80% to 100% depending on where I am. I get anything from around 65-70FPS up to 160FPS in really constricted areas.
I recently started playing again after a long break, the tutorial was very useful.
Would suggest doing cargo runs for a while until you get yourself some spare cash, heavy armor, SMG and maybe 40 mags of ammo, load up on LUX (food/drink) and med pens if you want to do any combat and take it slow, very slow as you are solo.
I tend to avoid combat missions unless I'm with someone, being able to be revived from downed can save you 30mins of messing about.
I'm finding the cargo delivery missions good for getting to know the system again.
Combat - try arena commander mode if you want to learn, you can pick the same ship as you use in the multiplayer and not care about dying that way!
May have connected to a borked server ALT+F4 and try again.
I had one last night take about 10 minutes to login then it was a mess, retried and was on for a couple of hours.
It happens occassionally, when you installed did you get a prompt for "Easy anti-cheat" ? if not you may need to verify the files to get it to reinstall (launcher - settings menu , scroll down and hit verify)

All controllers do is mean you spend hours in-game trying to get them working right.
It's one of the areas CIG need to sort, been that way for years. Why I sold my VKB/warthog and went back to KB/M. Life is simpler now.
I'll get back into them at some point no doubt.

Multiply that over the years when backups didn't always work between patches. I grew enormously bored of it.
So yes, hours.
I may only get an hour or two a week so having to mess with controls is a complete waste tbh. I loved flying with them when it worked but not really missing it much just now.
lol meant to add - PU / PTU / Evocati. Sometimes it'd be different between them too!

Silly deaths is sadly my playstyle.
Today:
1. Flew into a station after deciding to see if I could "drift" around Tressler.
2. Died trying to skim along the surface instead of landing and walking to a bounty (they shot my Pisces until it went bang).
3. Bled out during a mission as I had run out of med pens..

Volumeric clouds - off (medium if you feel the need) it eats up GPU resources for little benefit.
motion blur, vsync, chromatic abberation, film grain all off or at zero.
Oddly detail wise you tend to be better leaving this at high/very high otherwise it loads it onto the CPU.
Play around your system may cope better with some settings than others. I honestly can't tell the difference when I disable some of this in game though!
