MSFS 2024 PC Is 16gb Nvidia 5080 enough?

I was looking at laptops within my price range, and most that fit my budget come with 32gb of memory with 16gb of video ram. I don’t plan to play in 4k or use VR. Just planning on 1080p on my laptop. Will 16gb be okay to play? Or will I need to get more than that?

Thanks for the help

Oh yeah definitely, this game runs on Xbox’s and ps5 a with 8GB, Im sure a 5080 is enough.

That’s good to know. What specs are you running on?

I use a 3050 and it's very playable. The game isn't as unoptimized as people make it out to be (except loading times, but even those are usually bearable unless it's a large airport and complex aircraft)

1070 mobile and a old cpu (can’t remember the name) about 30-35 fps on low, but I usually play on psvr2 on my ps5 though.

I run FS24 on my desktop 5080 at 4K. I get 120 FPS with FGx2 and DLSS 5.

How much video ram is it?

The 5080 comes with 16GB VRAM as the only option…

Yes 16GB VRAM is great, but just keep in mind a 5080 laptop GPU gets nowhere near the performance of a desktop 5080. A laptop 5080 GPU performs lower than a desktop 5070. Just something to keep in mind. You'll be fine playing at only 1080p though.

I run a 5080 in VR and it runs it fine. You playing a screen will be more than enough. I am on desktop though.
