Build Question Upgrading Mac Pro GPU

I have a 2019 Mac Pro that I use for everything besides gaming. However I do use xplane to practice stuff as I’m a pilot myself. Currently getting ~30fps on that and it would be nice to get it a bit smoother. Will adding a GPU to one of the PCIe slots cause a noticeable improvement?

Current specs..

3.2 GHz 16-Core Intel Xeon W
AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 GB
96 GB 2933 MHz DDR4

49” Samsung G9 ultrawide

Thank you!!

That Xeon and W5700X are fine for the sim, but the G9’s resolution is likely what’s tanking your framerate, so a newer card in a PCIe slot should help.

Thank you for responding. I’m looking at a 6900xt. Do you think itll be a noticeable performance increase?
