QUESTION:
I want to replace my graphics card and my choice (limited by size and power) is between an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB or a 5070 12GB. The 5060 is less powerful but has 16 gigabytes instead of 12.
Which one would you choose? Thank you…

Get 16GB of VRAM. I have the 4080S with 16, and that’s more than enough GPU for the sim right now. The 5060Ti with 16 would be great.
1080P, 2K, or 4K?
Copied, thx.
3x2K or 1x2K + 2xHD
I can’t say what’s best for your multimonitor setup but I’ve just got a 5060ti 16GB gpu and I’m very happy with it so far. I’m running at 1440p with two 32” hdr monitors and have most of my settings at high , pre cache at ultra, texture res high.
Flying low over London photogrammetry I’m sometimes seeing just over 12GB vram usage.
I’d guess if you do that sort of flying the 16GB will be more beneficial than the slightly better grunt from the 5070. Got an MSI inspire card which runs very quiet and stays around 50-55 C in a 2 hour flight.

I just picked up the PNY 5060 TI 16GB Overclocked card, pretty cheap at only $450. 70-100 fps on high/ultra at 3840x2160 on my Odyssey G7 43” monitor.
If mostly for MSFS 2024, then VRAM is your main concern. 16GB it is then.
I am so happy to still have my 3090OC with its 24GB when I see that the sim is using up to 19GB of it without any stutters and excellent performance on ULTRA with 60FPS locked (in 2D).

i tried both, was happier with the 5070 and VRAM was running at ~10GB with pretty much all settings on high…..that was ok until i got the inibuilds A350 and it all went out the window, stutters, running out VRAM, etc, ended up having to dial back settings, ugh…..
I have the 5070. I get 90 fps on high-ultra settings. Unfortunately I have a lot of stutters. The sim refreshes slowly. Even on the lowest settings. Does anyone know how can it be solved?
Greetings
i run this, it helps a lot….
5060ti 16GB definitely! I replaced my 4070 (12GB) with this one and the result is amazing due to the very fast 16GB!
One of the few moments when I am happy to currently not have the budget to replace my custom watercooled 3090 OC (24GB)
