Preferable because of the 8 GB VRAM. You risk running out of VRAM with the 780. It also depends on your CPU. P3d v4 heavily taxes the CPU. More than p3d v3 or fsx ever did.

June 18, 20178 yr I still have the 780Ti in my "other" computer, and think it is an excellent video card that I used up to a little over a year ago with P3Dv2.5 and v3.2 (I think). The 2GB of VRAM is the minimum per LM system requirements on their web site, and will work. If the card uses up the VRAM it will simply start using RAM and since we now have 64b memory addressing it's not as bad as it sounds. Sure, having more VRAM is nice to have but it depends on your budget. Dan Downs KCRP
June 18, 20178 yr My lowly 750Ti card is running P3D surprisingly well, no stuttering at all, with 2xMSAA and 16x Anisotropic.. in most cases around 30-40fps. It is basically double the FPS I was getting in FSX with the same scenery/aircraft and also with higher slider settings. It is definitely not optimal as a card for P3D, but it's running great for what it is.
June 19, 20178 yr Author Thanks for replies looks like a 1080ti then or I might see what the AMD vega is all about. I currently have an FX8350 @4.8GHZ and it runs p3d v3 very well but its about time for an upgrade its just knowing what to do AMD or INTEL.

Sorry budy, it just doesn't work that way. If a video card runs out for vram, it will slow down because it does not have enough space to load/store textures, you will encounter stutters and hence low fps Windows 11 - Samsung 990 Pro M.2 | Asus Prime Z690 | i7 12700KF HT | DeepCool LS520 SE | MSI 5070 Ti Ventus OC | 64GB G.Skill XMP II | Lian Li 216 LANCOOL RGB | TrackIr v5 | Honeycomb Alfa - Bravo - Charlie | MSFS 2024 - Samsung 990 Pro M.2 | Curved 27" MSI | JBL Quantum 810

June 19, 20178 yr Although Prepar3d is not for me, I tried v4 vanilla (no addons) with a 970 4gb with high settings and it worked just fine, very smooth.
