On my 9070 XT, I’m seeing improved VRAM management in MSFS (20 and 24) under DX12 with 25.3.2. However, the max VRAM available still seems to dip by about 2GB after I spawn in and just look around. Am I really losing an entire 2GB of VRAM? This behavior doesn’t exist in DX11, only DX12. I also never saw it with my 3080ti. Looking on reddit, other users are seeing the same decrease in available VRAM.


I just saw your post, I have exactly the same issue… The available VRAM drops from 14.6 GB to 12 GB (or less, i had 10 gb…) for no apparent reason, and it can vary when I turn the camera in certain directions. I made a Reddit post here:

Have you updated to this months AMD driver? I saw improvements after I made my post above
