Anyone running this Card yet?

 

Ho is it in MSFS 2024?

 

ThankS!

Chris Camp

I have it and when it runs, It is fantastic! But It does not get along with my mother board being it is 4 years old PCIe 3.0 and the card is 5.0 PCIe

 

Starting the upgrade process.......

For a bit more $, the 5070 is a much better option even with less vram.

This going to be the problem going forward, you need to be running the latest hardware to get the best performance from the hardware you purchase in future.

So, I picked up a bundle to upgrade my pc. 

 

Intel® Core™ i7-14700K 

ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi LGA 1700

G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MT/s

Should be up and running by the weekend.

I'm considering the same GPU (5060Ti, 16GB), but I come from a 3060Ti with 8GB. With an 5700X3D, 32 GB RAM, and a 1080p monitor, will this change be worthwhile? I understand raw performance would be similar, but there is double the VRAM. This is for MSFS (both 2020 and 2024) and P3Dv5.

At the moment, I'm using a 14700k, 64GB RAM and a RTX4070 (12 GB). 

MSFS2024 needs a lot of VRAM, so the question is, if an upgrade to the 5060ti would make sense in 4k resolution. 

Any ideas? 

Thank you very much!

From a 4070? I'm not sure it's an upgrade. And I'm not even sure if a 5060 Ti can do 4K reliably. As you can see above, I'm considering this one for just 1080p.

That's the question - is VRAM more important than the GPU-power...? 

Thanks!

Until you run out, no.

4070 Isn't an option, as I don't want to upgrade my PSU.  I'm ordering/building a new system, within the next year or so, so a 5060ti 16mb, is the max I'm willing to spend on my current system.

 

That said, anyone running one successfully in 2024?

Update: RTX4070 (12GB) replaced by the RTX5060ti (16 GB). What an amazing card for MSFS2024! 

On my system (14700k, Z790, 64GB) and after manually overclocking the 5060ti (GPU +400, VRAM +2000, 4k, FPS locked to 30 in the Sim with 2x DLSS4 FG) it reaches or beats the 4070 in benchmarks (3DMark) and in MSFS2024, I have 60fps stable without any stutters in Egll (inibuilds) with Fenix A320, full AI-traffic (AIG) and AS-weather. Textures are loading much faster than before with high quality without flickering. This was not possible with the 4070.

The fast 16GB VRAM really makes a difference. 

I can highly recommend this card for MSFS2024, especially with the excellent overclocking potential.

Went another route....

Thanks for your report, Lars! Just in time, since tomorrow is my payday. I know where I'll be spending the money 😂

Question: did you lock your FPS in RTSS, NVCP or directly in your MSFS2024 UserCfg.opt? And are you using a 4K monitor?
