February 12, 20251 yr And it didn’t catch on fire … decided I’m not going to touch an 5000 series nVidia cards, 20+ Amp draw in one power wire? No thanks. AMD 9070XT performance leaks show it to be as good on RT with 5080 and better without RT … and $400-$700 cheaper. Wonder what DeepSeek says about nVidia 5090’s … 😉

February 12, 20251 yr In the bonkers world of GPU's, the same model of the Radeon 7900 XT I bought in July 2023 (Sapphire Pulse), now costs £10 more than I paid for it from the same supplier. At the time, I thought 20 GB of VRAM would be important for FS2024 and it was far cheaper than the 4080.

My 16GB VRAM are easily filled up and then you get more stutters (it is not equal to unplayable if VRAM is full, but it is for sure an avoidable experience). Currently, my mitigation is as follows: using "high" instead of "ultra" for texture resolution setting and DLSS Quality (so actually rendering in 1440p) plus AutoFPS on top reducing the TLOD down to 50 on heavy airports. Together with the novel DLSS4, I can keep my VRAM significantly below 16GB and even able to add a reasonable amount of AI traffic planes. Without those mitigations, VRAM is already almost maxed out before I add AI traffic. Bummer, because if I see FT EHAM running at around 80-90FPS (with Frame Generation) even with reasonable amount of AI traffic, it tells me that both CPU and GPU are basically strong enough to handle the sim, but VRAM is limited. Still looking for a reasonably priced 4090, but honestly, I do not really want to pay 1500€ for a used GPU over a reseller platform. Risk is pretty high you get a defunct card, no chance to see your money again then... Should have gone the 7900XTX road back then, but as AMD is notoriously slow in implementing features such as frame gen, I went with the 4080 instead. Not the perfect choice from nowadays point of view... Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

February 12, 20251 yr Yes, in theory. Guess it will still take some time until this feature will be available 😉 Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

Not really, it was more of a plan grown when the 5000 series were not yet released and I had big hopes of hundreds of 4090 owners switching to a 5090. This would have flooded the market with used and comparable cheap 4090 cards. Now reality looks slightly different...

And now the market is completely insane, with new and used 4090's going for at or above their recommended msrp when originally released, all to support the higher cost of 5090s that are being scalped for prices completely unwarranted by their actual performance...
