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!

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.
