I'm thinking to buy 4090. Last time got the power connector catching fire issue. Is that still an issue now? When you buy the adapter comes with it?

The power connector issue was actually user fault. They either never plug in the adapter fully or they bent(because squeeze inside small case) the adapter cable until it stressed the connector.

Yes, all 4090 comes with the 12vhpwr adapter though there might be a difference of 3 or 4 PCIe depending on the model you buy. If you worry about the adapter then alternative is to use native 12vhpwr cable by getting an atx 3.0 psu.

Hello

Is 4070ti good enough for 4K? or is it worth paying 500 dollar more to get 4080?

one of the more demanding game I play is microsoft flight simulator

No need 100fps, 60fps enough...

At 4k, your consideration should really be 4080 vs 4090. ;)
