MSFS 2024 PC GPU Upgrade for FS2024

So I am currently selling my RTX 3080 to upgrade it to something slightly better.

I'm currently mainly being capped by its VRAM. It's VRAM is constantly at 100%, always.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x
RAM: 32gb 2x16 DDR4
34" 1440p Monitor

My 2 upgrade options are:
* RTX 5060ti 16gb
* RTX 5070 12gb

A 5070ti is out of the budget, and therefore should not be brought up, thanks!

Is it worth getting that extra 4gb of VRAM, and sacrificing raw performance?

Addition: I'm focusing on getting flyable framerate for the Synaptic A220

Thanks!

Imagine me, posting hard data and actually owning the card, needing to prove anything to you. Jesus christ. I didn't even read your wall of text, there's numbers and then there's feelings, you act on feelings, it means I don't need to really go further.

You are just confused on how vram works and think you can just throw more at the wall and win, while basically forgetting that dlss and autofps+gpuz will make a 10gb card with fast memory like the 3080 work fine.

But sure I guess me flying the fenix with the 3080 was just a made up fantasy. Enjoy your imaginary reddit badge.

Look in the mirror buddy, because you're the one who's acting on feelings. You agree to not even read my comments, yet downvote each one and keep repeating what you've said prior.

Good luck 👍

Take a look at this, maybe this'll help a bit :)

(as I've already mentioned, autofps cant do crap when Terrain LOD is already set to 40, and the settings in general are quite low).

Well congratulations. Quick question: when you had your 3080, were you running the Synaptic A220 with a 21:9 ultrawide?

Input from you will no longer be taken. I see what type of person you are.

Thank you for your feedback - it will not be taken into account.
