I’ve got a 4070 12GB and got hit with them multiple times yesterday. Disappointing because I haven’t seen these in quite a long time while flying a great variety of addons. And yeah, I lowered the graphics settings to accommodate, mainly because I just wanted to fly the thing again! I’ll go back in and tweak them back up to a good balance point.

I guess I'm asking if there's really something more I'm receiving to explain the extra cost, or is it mostly based on popularity of the variant? I haven't purchased a PMDG aircraft in maybe 10 years or more... am considering it again now. Totally a factor of addon popularity, which is driven by IRL popularity. The 737 piloting experience is literally the same, so there’s absolutely no NEED to get the more expensive variants. You may WANT to get them if cargo or biz jet ops are your thing, but really those are just window dressing if FLIGHT sim is your primary objective 😎👍

Thanks for the info. Still a MUCH better pricing matrix than they did in Prepar3D, as well as almost all the other addon devs out there.
April 10Apr 10 Which is the most VRAM hog now, new 737-700 or FSL Bus NEO? 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

I bet that's why you never had these issues in the -800; because that setting is probably already off. The setting is to allow you to disengage the AP, with a yoke input - but it's too sensitive and leads to these uncommanded AP disconnects. I flew a segment from EDHL to LZIB in the new -700 yesterday, and it was flawless. I set all the Simulation preferences in the FMC to the same that I use in the -800. Thanks that was the reason AP kept disengaging. Why would they turn that on by default? Anyway, it's back to normal. Thanks again.

The difference of course is that it's much easier to "bump" a flight simulator yoke to the extent that it will cause the autopilot to disconnect, whereas I assume this would require significant force on the real airplane.

I just checked out the RTX 4080 on the CEX website (so, not even brand new), and the cost is between £800 and £975. Then I decided to have a look at the RTX 4090...... Not much change from £2000.....for any of them on the site I need to sit down.... Had the same feeling almost a year ago and went for the AMD RX 9070 XT. I have not regretted it. Worth looking at as an alternative.
April 10Apr 10 Well, overall I like it. The sounds seem very nice too, although that's always subjective. The issues I've had is AP disconnect is very touchy and VRAM messages out the waazoo. Also, landing at KDFW (iniBuilds) my fps cratered. I don't know for certain the VRAM is associated with this aircraft, but I think so. Guessing all the cabin detail may be contributing. Note: my specs in the footer is out of date...I have a RTX5080 since my 3090 blew up.

April 10Apr 10 I have a 5090 but had to RMA my PSU and I'm not taking a chance using the 5090 with my old power supply. I've been using a 5070, so with all of the VRAM issues I guess I will wait until Monday to fly the 737 when I get my PSU back. Edited April 10Apr 10 by RNAVV19R

One of my yoke buttons is a camera button. I press that button softly and the AP disconnects.
