So shortly after ordering my 3090 (which I still haven't gotten around to installing!) I went ahead and splurged on a rather expensive model of Los Angeles. I think it was worth it! You can see that individual buildings aren't that detailed if you really pick at the details but the overall impression of realism and scale is pretty amazing. In the future I'll use depth of field to hide some of those lacking details... and with the 3090 I might even be able to subdivide it.
This is a big deal, because it means I can have shots of Kaylee where she's thousands of feet tall just walking around L.A., like I always pictured! The smaller-scale LA model that I used before just wasn't high enough quality for that, and the REALLY big one didn't have enough detail to work until they're giga-scale.
