You’ve probably seen some benchmarks from Flight Simulator run, with our take on Microsoft’s ambitious new game with a view to 8K performance – a game of next gen, with a resolution of next gen.

Flight Simulator at 8K pushed my test bed to the absolute limits, where the game is with 16GB VRAM – minimum – at 8K. Yes, 16GB of framebuffer is completed which destroys the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 SUPER, Radeon RX 5700 XT, and everything else nice.
The only graphics cards left are the NVIDIA TITAN RTX – a card that costs $ 2499, and the AMD Radeon VII – just because it has 16GB of VRAM and I would not recommend buying it right now . However, the overhaul of anti-aliasing (AA) has begun to increase VRAM consumption even further.
Upon further testing, enabling TAA saw VRAM consumption skyrocket to 24GB – the TITAN RTX fills up to maximum VRAM consumption, and the Radeon VII pushes to its knees.
This is why we really, really badly need next gen graphics cards like the GeForce RTX 3090 that will report wrapping 24 GB ultra-rap GDDR6X memory.
