MS Flight Simulator 2024 can consume...who knows how much.

I know my 10 GB 3080 ran out of VRAM playing it on Ultra, and i was getting as low as 2 fps because I'm bottlenecked by the PCI-Express bus as it has to constantly page the entire working set of textures and models in and out.

I'm getting a 5090 for that, plus I want to play around with 7B parameter LLMs and don't want to quantize below 8 bits if I can help it.

I've regularly exceeded 24 GiB of VRAM in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Imagine a huge airport environment with high levels of detail, plus AI aircraft in the ground and sky. Then, on top of that, terrain and textures of the surrounding environment.

And that's at 1440p, not even 4K. The resulting stutters are... not pretty.
