4090 upgrade

[Zimmerbz]

My pc specs are currently in my auto sig.  I have a 3080 TI and was curious for MSFS 2024 (flying Fenix and 3rd party airports with high/ultra settings), what would I gain by uploading my GPU to a 4090 card and upgrading my ram to 64?  My performance is ok but I feel like I can get more out of the sim possibly.  Or would it be minimal?

If I'm not mistaken, you might be CPU-limited. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend the 4090. Perhaps saving some money for a new PC would be a much better option.

I upgraded to 64GB.  It was cheap and made a big difference.  My spec are the same as yours.  You don't need a new PC.

Ok cool.  I thought the memory might help but I wasn't sure about the GPU.

FS24 is certainly VRAM hungry, doubling your VRAM would not be a waste for sure.

I'm limited by Main Thread with a 2080 Super w/ 8gb VRAM.....

 

And you have a much better card than me!
