That is all in hand As for the comment "16GB VRAM is not enough for MSFS", that surely only refers to screen resolutions higher than 1080p in MSFS 2024?

I had to ask because the last time a bought a Radeon was 20 years ago ans I promised myself never to buy another one again. Leaving the price out of the equation, they would have to be way better then the NVIDIA for me to change my mind. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
August 19, 2025Aug 19 Price to performance/feature set they currently are miles better than Nvidia. The only thing Nvidia have going for them is raw ray tracing performance, but of the 1000 games I own over Steam, ubi, battle net etc probably 5 have ray tracing so that's a moot point to me. If you want to keep being ripped off buying nvidia that's your perogative. And in reply to Christopher Low, then yes 16gb is ample for 1080p at the moment, but the year is 2025, isn't 1080p a bit old hat for the vast majority of gamers out there these days? As the OG question was 5070ti v 9070xt, I proposed an alternative for similar money that won't bottleneck you with poor vram. Edited August 19, 2025Aug 19 by 4L0M

Sorry to keep pushing this but I am also thinking of changing despite my card being a 4070ti Also sorry to the original poster. Doesn't MSFS use ray-tracing. I don't really play anything else.

August 19, 2025Aug 19 MSFS 2024 has ray traced shadows. Performance hit for my 7900xtx is negligible enough for me to keep it on the ultra setting.
August 22, 2025Aug 22 Ended up changing my 4070ti for the 5070ti The AMD 24gig was not available but I did think about it. Been having trouble since getting my 4k Oled tv/monitor. The difference in frame rate is not substantial, but you have access to x3 frame generation. Much less fluctuation in dense areas and much more stable. Almost everything is at Ultra. I left Terrain at high. Terrain Lod is good at 175. At 200 the CPU is working a little to hard, but not in the red (Was expecting more) More important for me.. Very fluid. No more blurry scenery No need for TAA. Gages are sharp and clear No stuttering or weird stuff on approach and final. This all tested on a flight from KDTW to KMSP (Addon Airports) / A300-600 inibuilt / BeyondATC with lots of traffic Oh yeah, most be in Full screen mode. In window mode Frame Generation does not seem to work. At least on my system. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
