Ive deliberately run my previous gpu (6800XT) close to or at 100% in FS2020 by upping the render resolution and added framegen to boot. As long as the card is operating within its normal operating temp range you're fine. There will be moments where it will downclock itself if that needs to occur.

The 9070XT is excellent for 2k and ultra wide resolutions in MSFS2020. For 4k in msfs2020 in directx 12 mode it should work but i don't think would be fully optimal as in some use cases i can see the 16gb of VRAM being gobbled up (INI EGLL+maxed out addon traffic+lousy wx+ complex addon running 8k textures). I also experience even VRAM issues in 2024 at ultrawide resolutions so this is not a future proofed card and it would be worse at 4k. I will be upgrading to whichever manufacturer comes out with a card with more VRAM later this year. I would NOT purchase a 7900XTX as it is last gens card. It has the VRAM but you are essentially purchasing older tech. My advice is to wait until later this year if you intend to purchase a GPU that you intend to keep for a bit as it is expected that the 5070ti Super and 5080 Super should have additional VRAM. If you must purchase something now .. i guess you can do the 7900xtx.. again i personally did not and would not do it .. but then again i am on a lower resolution 3440x1440 and have slightly smaller VRAM requirements than 4k so i went with the newer tech knowing fully that this is a stopgap until updated cards arrive and plan to sell my present card to recoup.

Funny you mentioned "recycled" (and therefore probably should not have been compared in the first place ) but you had no problems bringing PMDG's name up when it was a convenient and popular dig earlier. Frankly no one apart from PMDG knows how much of their code was recycled and to be honest its none of my business as long as i have working product in front of me .. With PMDG i do for 2020 and 2024 .. with Synaptics i currently dont for both sim versions. . There comes a point when the previews get stale and its time to deliver to maintain credibility. You may think its ok to be waiting this long and provide excuses but at some point a person is going to be asking for the actual product. For me personally its time for synaptic to deliver on what they have been showing since 2021... I have seen enough "development" updates. Its also funny that you single out PMDG for not having all their products out for 2024 when the same can be said for Ifly and Fenix not to mention the fact that FSlabs just now managed to get their single product out these last few days... Its also ok if you have a different opinion. It wont change mine however. Cheers

You can do that if you want to but since 2020 there has been the DC6 /737 and 777 product lines with more coming. We are still waiting on the singular A220 going back from that same time frame... You can literally see super detailed renderings from this group since 2021 on their discord... We are now in 2025... Still sans product.. You wont find me complaining about PMDG's development time frames... sorry .. They already had a great model from the time Synaptics name was sitting in the A320NX installer so showing us all that detail work again? .. meh. Same with the Electric systems .. they already had worked on that . They still have the bleed systems to work on and fadec, throttle management + sensors and i don't know where they are with aerodynamics and navigation since i clicked away after hearing of so many deep systems not yet worked on. Mind you they are a new dev that understandably have gone through some iterations with this product and i do want to pick it up when released. But i think it would be best to keep head down and wait till imminent release or at most .. you have a product in alpha state and you need the last few months to get it to release candidate before providing updates considering how long the target audience have already waited. Again people are free to disagree and appreciate this stuff.. But after viewing a few "development updates" going as far back as 2021 after awhile it just feels like a reminder that they are not near completion. Sorry to be that guy but yeah .. the patience has worn out for me personally. Let me know when you have the actual product ready for me to evaluate for purchase.

Same.. The pace of their development is glacial. For development this slow they may as well just keep working till they are around 95% complete before posting updates (Personal opinion).. acutely aware people may feel otherwise.

Not going to question your motives for asking but yes its true.. and a good thing i would say. Its a product i want to eventually purchase once it reaches a certain level of refinement so i am glad that they are still working on improvements to bring it to the level where i can personally consider it a good value purchase and pull the trigger. Cheers

You seem to be making quite a habit of it actually in terms of being contrary ( and making inaccurate claims without supporting evidence) but i digress. I personally have gone into the discord last week to ask about an issue that people are observing regarding overly slick/shiny textures and was advised to visit the community support section because .. no official community 2024 support. I also just be be sure just visited their discord and asked again if official support is now being offered. the response was not until BFU The follow up question i then asked was if BFU has been released .. The response was not yet ... So please let us know Where this 2024 update you speak of them releasing today is. Thanks Oh and word of advice. Please try to stick to the facts at hand .. its very presumptuous of you to assume that i was interested in purchasing anything at this point and was having this discussion in an effort to justify anything in terms of purchasing decisions .(What i do with my money is none of your business actually) .. What i am interested in doing is making sure that we aren't spreading misinformation here so if you really truly received official MSFS2024 support from the Fenix team contrary to their official stance and have been receiving msfs2024 related software updates where no one else has been receiving it myself and others would love to see it and figure out how that came to pass.

They are not officially supported. Does not mean you cant fly it in 2024 but if you were to go to their discord and ask for any help related to using it in MSFS2024 you would be forwarded to the community support section, not official support. Im also surprised at your comment about 2024 updates since "everyone else i know" have been waiting for "updates" from Fenix .. particularly for 2024 amongst other things. So unless you can provide some specifics instead of jumping in for the sake of being contrary that would be appreciated.

Or use a freeware utility like teracopy with file verification (That's what i used ) to ensure everything got copied properly. Cause like you i got hung up on 3.1 and i had forgotten my xcopy flags from dos days.

Have to agree here. Looks like im going to have to make space for this along with my tubeliners.

As well as not wanting to do extra work which is acceptable in my eyes. They need to get the marketplace file naming issue completely fixed across all their product lines first standardize everything then release. They already have to post release patch the 77F and 772.. does not make sense to add to that by using resources to release the 77W then doing a post release patch when they may as well hold it and fix internally before release since it needs to be fixed anyway. Probably not the most popular take but meh.

You said most of what i stated when this topic was discussed last week so apart from completely agreeing with you 100% i will just add.. To each their own. I was not even remotely considering fully switching over to MSFS2024 until this feature was added. I will add that the current implementation is (typical of Asobo) buggy and i had to re download the base package twice (once due to user error and another due to updates) but for my personal preferences it is more than worth it. If you want that thin client experience go for it. Its just not for me.

The video above i did not watch and probably will not. However, The ini A350 fawning videos and the MSFS grease the wheels pre release event made me write all of them off frankly. I only watch a video to observe and learn procedures and flows and will try to verify for myself a new product's features, bugs and showstoppers through interaction with the community and decide for myself if i should buy or not. The only content creator i will watch for general sim information is probably obsidian ant since he does not do reviews but pretty much just provides an informative overview of the current events in msfs Too many issues not reported when that A350 came out for me to trust any of them.

Same boat here. Tubeliner flyer. Will move only when my personal needs were met. You decide for yourself late or not ! 100% Glad its now at a level where we can seriously give it a good attempt of making it the main sim. For me a few items had to fall into place like being able to have the base files locally installed and having AI traffic using aig traffic controller + the PMDG 777's being available. Its not fully there yet. ( I had 1 ctd this weekend at the end of a flight) but it more than made up for it with the rest of the flights i did. Everything loaded in nicely (no blurries and apart from 1 or two gpu maxed out warnings shortly after landing the flight was smooth (TAA+Framegen at (40x2)=80fps locked).
