I am starting to think that way. But what about gpu speed. It was once the make sure the last teo digits are 80 eg rtx2080, rtx3080 etc.

Thanks everyone. Interesting that you still get warnings with much better/faster cards than the 2080 although I know it all depends on how high the video settings are.

Thanks it would be nice but my budget doesn't stretch anywhere near a pre-owned one.

With a limited budget I want to replace my Gigabyte rtx2060 6Gb OC card with a USED rtx2080 video card. I have (in another thread) received info that the more vram the better and have been trying unsuccessfully to find a USED rtx1080 with 11gb vram but find plenty of video cards with 8GB vram. When I run MSFS2024 I get a warning that my vram (6Gb) is a problem BUT will a video card with 8GB satisfy? Should I just change video settings (to what?) so that my 6GB vram is enough and just keep waiting patiently for a used 11Gb card to be put on sale or be satisfied purchasing a used 8GB vram card?

I have solved the problem listed below. It was caused by Asobo resetting my assistance settings (especially auto throttle) to ON. Why do Asobo do these things with an update. It is so bloo#! annoying! Firstly I think that I asked the same or similar question some years ago and have forgotten the reply. The throttle position for my (stock) DHC2 Beaver will not stay in the position I set it regardless if I drag the throttle with my mouse or use the throttle on my joystick. It keeps returning to the idle position. Once I managed to get the throttle to 'stick' in the fully open position but then I couldn't reduce power, every time I reduced the throttle it would jump back to the fully open position, weird! It didn't have this problem before today's update. Please remind me what causes this and the fix. Thanks

Oops. I needed to populate the database from MSFS. However in my defense that was not suggested.

Thanks I don't recognise your image and can only assume it is from LNM but where? Anyway, after opening the LNM docs, I found at last the icon on top of screen named 'select airport types to show' (Ctrl Alt U) then selected 'show airports on the map' and none of those I previous mentioned were displayed.

IT's possibly been 3 years or more since I last created flight plans and seem to remember a flight plan creator which updated its database using FSX or 2020 airport data, I might be wrong. Anyway using LittleNavmap I cannot find a water airport for Sechelt or Nanaimo or Vancouver Harbour Water Airport or Vancouver International Water airport etc. Could someone please point me if the right direction. Thanks.

It now seems to be working (GMT 0600) BUT 'history' is gone ie in Devmode there is nothing listed when attempting to open recently opened files.

Is anyone else having issues with running fs2024 (Oct 10 2026 0040 GMT). I can run 2020 without a problem but not 2024 - message displays as Too many users are trying to connect at the same time. You are in a queue. Please wait or try again later. I have waited a few times and retried without success. Maybe something to do with SU7?

I was not aware of undervolting but quickly found a number of Youtube videos which look easy enough. I am assuming you mean getting the RTX2080 TI 2 fan (TWO 8 pin power connector) rather than the RTX4060 TI (ONE 8 pin power connector)? I do too but mainly as it has 11GB vram.

Good point. My PSU is a Coolermaster Elite V3 600 watts and the recommended psu for the 3 fan card is 650 watts! Strangely MSI also recommend a 650 watt psu for the 2 fan card even though it'a power consumption is only 250 watts compared to 300 watts for the 3 fan. That seems strange ie one consumes 250 watts and the other 300 watts but they recommend a 650watt psu for both. Gosh you need to be careful when upgrading. Looks like the rtx4060 TI is the 'way to go' for me as its output is only very slightly slower than the rtx2080 TI and my psu and power plugs are suitable.

I found 2ns hand rtx4060 Ti for almost the same cost as an rtx2080 Ti HOWEVER they only have 8Gb vram (not 11) and I'm not sure if 3Gb less vram would be noticed with Flight Simulator 2024 which suggest 8Gb recommended 12Gb ideal I have found a few RXT2080 Ti cards with 11Gb Vram. Now I have hit a slight 'hurdle'. The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming Trio 11Gb has 3 fans and 2 X 8 pin power connectors and one 6 pin power connector and I only have 2 X 8 pin plugs. There is an MSI Geforce RTX2080 Ti Ventus 11Gb which seems to be built on the same 'platform' and with only 2 X 8 pin power connectors but only 2 fans. So maybe it is slightly noisier as the and may need to turn faster? Should I be concerned that it only has 2 fans (and less cooling fins)? I note that even the rtx4060 Ti comes with either 2 or 3 fans.

I looked for an AMD video card within my budget and found the RX6700XT 12Gb and while the base clock and boost clock were significantly better than the rtx2080Ti a comparison fps running the same software had them about equal if FPS. In some games the RX6700 was slightly better and in others the rtx2080Ti was slightly better. Prices were similar for both and as such I would lean towards the nvidia card although the RX6700 has an extra 1Gb vram.

Any video card which has a minimum 8Gb Vram preferably =>11Gb and is as fast as a rtx2080. I will have to research what AMD cards 'fit' that criteria as I know nothing about them. I will start with the 9060XT and then 'Google' Compare rtx2080 Ti with (say) 9060XT which often results in a youtube video showing screen results including fps side by side. A quick look on Ebay didn't find any 9060XT with 16GB vram less than $A800! Way over my budget.
