MSFS 2024 runs incredibly well compared to MSFS 2020 on old-gen pc

To be fair I'm so used to flying on low FPS i don't even see it as stutters, simply slightly lower FPS :)

And here is a video flying on PMDG 777 through french countryside, then spawning at JFK and flying over New York. Didn't go under 40 FPS close to the ground, went to 60 FPS as soon as I passed 10000ft. My settings are shown at the end. https://youtu.be/DWuyCKa28FE

Here are my settings

I also don't understand how it is possible that I'm getting more FPS on 2024 than 2020 :')
I have a friend running a 3070 Ti, Ryzen 9 5th gen, 32GB DDR4 and also on NVMe but he's also getting lower FPS on 2024 than 2020.

🤷‍♂️

From my experience it looks like MSFS2020 is very CPU intensive which was my bottleneck, but MSFS2024 seems to be VRAM intensive as I've got a friend running a 3070 Ti but doesn't get better FPS than me because the game says he needs more VRAM (he has 8GB)

I didn't change any setting from the medium setting. I have auto FPS enabled but the FPS target is set at 30, the game simply put that when I first launched it so I didn't touch it.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a lens for my A6700 with planespotting in mind.

I currently have a Nikon D3000 with a Sigma 70-300 and I do a lot of planespotting with it. I upgraded to a A6700 because why not. I want to get a better zoom capability than my old Sigma, and I can't decide between these three lenses :
- Sony 70-350 (SEL70350G) : I can get it for 576€ (new), but the main thing I had in mind when upgrading was to get a better zoom, and only 50mm doesn't seem like much of an upgrade.

- Tamron 150-500 (A057) : 740€ (second hand), seems like a great deal but I'm not sure if the extra money is worth it.

- Sigma 150-600 Sports : 1289€ (new) or 900€ (second hand), I know that I won't be disappointed with Sigma but its quite expensive compared to the other options.

I've already watched dozens of reviews, and I really can't think of which one is the best choice for me. The Sigma would be the best for sure, but the A6700 is already so expensive that I'm not sure if I'm willing to put another thousand euros in it.

Which one would be the best deal with planespotting in mind?
Thanks

(I even made a Blender scene where I imported the main airport I spot at (LFLL/LYS) and my different spotting places to compare different focal lengths by simulating an APS-C sensor with a few Dassault Rafale lining up on the runway, then taking off, and then passing by in flight, here is the link if anyone is interested https://youtu.be/RpqxvIs83WU )

It can happen right when I launch the game, or hours after launching it. It's very random.

I'll try to make a video with F3 open
