MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.

I have 32:9 1440p monitor (49"). The number of total pixels is 7,372,800 which is twice the number of a normal 16:9 1440p monitor.

But a normal 16:9 4K monitor has 8,294,400 pixels which is a bit more than mine.

I run LOD's of 130, DLSS Quality anti alias, and High End display preset. No stutters or tiny hesitations approaching airports, all is well.

4070 (12 GB) gpu, and 5800X3D cpu

EDIT: I also alternately fly with a Pimax Crystal Light headset. Which works great.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

 

Have 4080 and a LG 37 in 4K display. Set texture resolution to high, and set most graphic settings to high or ultra. Lock FPS at 30, with 2X FG and use TAA. Importantly, use AutoFPS to manage TLOD and prevent VRAM overload. In that app, with FPS fixed at 60, and TLOD settings varying between 75 (ground) and 380 (higher altitudes), I have great visuals and smooth performance, without overtaxing the 16 GB of VRAM on the 4080 card. Now if I set the max TLOD setting to 400 or higher in AutoFPS and fly in complex scenery, I will get VRAM resource warnings and stuttering, so the trick is to find the sweet spot for your max TLOD setting in AutoFPS, so that you can maintain decent TLOD settings when you have the overhead and not exhaust more than about 88% of your VRAM capacity. That seems to be the level of VRAM use that triggers warnings in MSFS. For me, that sweet spot is max TLOD setting = 380.

nVidia has, apparently, indicated that the Super versions of the 50 series may be on the way, if the OP is willing to wait for that to materialize (a 5070Ti Super with 24GB sounds enticing).

Hello all - planning on a PC upgrade one day.

What are your experiences with a 16GB graphics card for 4K? With third-party airliners/airports?

Would like to have settings reasonably high, but maybe not crazily so.

I am still on P3D but keen to try the inibuilds A380 and a few others once they release.

Am a bit bummed the 24GB 7900XTX is no longer produced - other option >16GB seems to be the 5090 which is just crazily expensive.

Guess it's a toss-up between 5070TI/5080/9700XT, but am worried it will be the old days of FSX and OOM all over again.

Cheers,
Rudy

5080 (ish)+ AutoFPS = FTW

Gentlemen, thanks for your opinions! Keep them coming.

If I can still get my hands on a new 7900XTX with 24GB, is that worth getting? Or is it too old-gen to be worth considering?
