January 25, 20215 yr Issue: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 crashes to desktop My system: Win10 Pro 20H2 I7-10700K Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z490-A 32 GB RAM SSD 1TB VGA: RTX 2070 SUPER EVO 8GB VRAM Monitor: GIGABYTE 3440x1440 With my previous display 27’ 1920*1080 my VGA was powerful enough for FS2020. With new one, VGA reaches 100% VRAM usage in high density scenes of FS2020. As a result - crashes to desktop. So, I’m choosing new, more powerful VGA. Two options: RTX 3070 8GB VRAM or RTX 3080 10GB VRAM I need community opinion – Is RTX 3070 8GB VRAM will be powerful enough for FS2020 with my new display?

Instead of spending all that money, I would suggest lowering your settings slightly to avoid overrunning your 8 GB card. Or avoid installing those high density sceneries.. Bert
January 26, 20215 yr If you're VRAM-starved now, just wait until MSFS moves to DX12. I agree with Bert...dial back your demand on the VRAM, at least until something that answers the mail comes along, because a faster card with the same or slightly more VRAM isn't going to solve your problem.

Meaning DX12 is more efficient so less VRAM used? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

No. DX12 apps tend to need more (often a lot more) VRAM, and they go "boom" if allowed to run out...the drivers now leave handling of overrun resources to the application instead of dealing with it at the driver level. If 8GB is already a constraint in DX11, it's likely to be a serious limfac under DX12.

Well considering it's extremely difficult to find a 30xx card right now, maybe they should delay DX12 until more consumers can purchase the cards for higher vram. My 1080 ti is still really nice with 11GB. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
