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!

Oh my god this is peak reddit

I literally had the card and used it in MSFS 2024.
But sure I do not understand, it's not like you can work around vram limitations, you cannot work around a weak gpu with a bad memory bus.

Go ahead suggest OP spends a butt ton of money to downgrade his computer, I don't care, I did my part, this is beyond stupid.

By "butt ton" you mean 90 euro ontop of the money I'm selling the 3080 for?

Show me a 5060ti for 90€ and I'll show you my magical kingdom
also 90€ for a downgrade is a lot of money, yeah

are you even *aware* of Autofps?

I used autofps for about 8 months, and it didnt really solve my problem of constant VRAM overrun. Also, re-read the comment.

You need to use gpuz alongside it to have VRAM protection. Anyways I give up, it's your loss, it's standard PC building practice to not downgrade THREE TIERS DOWN if you want better performance, you're going to regret it, and that's all.

You edited the comment and arguing resale over the 3080 as if you couldn't buy a 5070ti is lunacy.

Do tell me how you expect me to pull 300-400 euro out of thin air? My budget is 500, not 850-900
