64 GB RAM ?

YES! I find it strange that they state 12GB of VRAM as ‘ideal’.

Agreed.  I also find it strange that they list the RTX 4080 card as ideal but say 12GB VRAM.  The 4080 has 16GB.

  • Especially with DDR5 and AMD, there’s an advantage with 2 sticks vs 4. Basically with 4 sticks it might be hard to run at the same speed and timings. In extreme cases there could be instability issues

  • No one is actually claiming huge improvements.  Most of us are suggesting incremental improvements we weren't expecting adding to overall RAM consumption and MSFS RAM consumption and noticed less micr

In the other post "ideal PC" posted my Microsoft MSFS 2024 requires only 32G. I personally have 32G  at the moment. I think I'll wait until I get 2024 copy, and then will decide whether I should upgrade or not

Agreed,

I have 32GB and have never seen my usage over 20GB. Does the sim not use more if you have it? It is the same with my GPU, when I had my 3080TI I never saw more than 10GB, my 3090 used around 14GB and now with my 4090 I typically sit around 16GB-18GB

I really don't know how you do it.

I have 64 now and it made a big difference in stutters and performance.  This thing is memory hungry.  I have seen FS2020 use 28GB of RAM with GSX, FSLTL and 3rd party sceneries and the FENIX A320. 

Yeah, currently have 64 and think its a good buffer.

I remember a while back some people thought 32 was too much. (especially in other sims). When you have a lot going on in terms of apps and upgrades....yeah.....

in an "ideal" world i would have a full motion 320 😎

on a serious ( ish) note I've tried two sets of 32 DDR5 with this Mobo neither can reach advertised speed of 6000 AM5 still abit sketchy . but i guess the real moral of this story is yep  you've guessed it "always check the QVL list " lol  😏

It is weird how different systems use different amounts of resources. I run 4K at Ultra settings with my render scale on 105-110 with TLOD's in the air of 400 and I cap my fps at 72 if I am flying out of smaller custom airports like IniBuilds LEIB. I do drop my fps lock if I am at IniBuilds EGLL in the 777 though.

Not for ideal. It lists 64

I I'm just using 32g RIGHT now, If 64 will make a difference then I'll upgrade to 64 for FS2024. But then I have to decide if I want to purchase another 32 GBs and use all 4 memory slots or just get 2 (32) GB's and run dual channel mode.

Is it really worth upgrading from 32 to 64 GB RAM?

How much RAM can FS2024 use ??

I pulled the trigger and got G.Skill 64GB coming today via Amazon. $200 for DDR5 ain’t bad. Cheapest upgrade component I’ve done.

He does it easily, because the sim and windows budget system ram.  Now, will he have compromises and culls in terms of what is loaded and when?  Sure, that goes without saying.

I use about half as much as you do, and I have a loaded sim.   I presently have 32GB.  That's why it typically uses about 20-23 GB as RJC mentions.

Today I saw total 20Gb in use in which the sim used 10. Fenix at Gatwick. Anyway, I’ll wait and see if it’s really needed before I go for 64gb.

Btw I’ve seen vram use over 20Gb several times with 4K.

FS2024 would appear to have active background threads, loading scenery data into RAM. And then loaded into VRAM when needed.

If true, glad my order of 64GB of RAM is sitting on my desk right now.

I would get 64gb of RAM before someone closes this thread.

Even if my PC ends up being powerful enough to run MSFS 2024 at reasonable detail levels, I cannot imagine that 1080p resolution will require anywhere near the 32GB RAM that I already have. The 6GB VRAM on my GTX 980Ti is also not troubled.

And what about VR players? Do we need that much RAM?
