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…

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…. [image] GitHub - ResetXPDR/MSFS_AutoFPS: MSFS2020_AutoFPS updated to support both MSFS 2020... MSFS2020_AutoFPS updated to support both MSFS 2020 and 2024

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) :joy::joy:

I have been having this debate as I look at upgrading my old RTX 2060 Super. All the benchmarks are showing the 5070 out performs the 5060 TI, even though it has the extra VRAM, in MSFS2020 & '24. I was about to drop my money on the 5070 because I am sick of researching GPU’s and how they work in MS…

I went from 4060 8GB to 5060TI 16GB I always runned out of vram with 8GB, big slutters at departure and arrival with the message, since I have 16GB I never saw this message again, even on big airport with complex planes So go 16GB if you can

I have been running my MSI 5060 TI 16gb OC’d with setting mixed between High and Ultra for almost 10 days now and I no longer have any stuttering on the ground at the larger, more graphically demanding airports. It’s running flawlessly while flying over dense forested areas now. My motherboard is ol…

I think you made the right choice where MSFS is concerned. I got my son an RTX 5060 ti 16GB, and though he doesn’t use MSFS a lot it’s a significant upgrade on the 3070 ti 8GB he had previously, particularly with flight sim 2024, DCS and Squadrons.

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB or RTX 5070 12GB?

Hi, I’m also planning to buy a 5060TI. I’d like to know how many FPS it gets at 4K, 4X frame rate.?

MSFS2024 huge performance issues since NVidia version 591.44 with BIOS Resizeable BAR enabled
