I won't have time for a real flight for a while, but a quick bit of fooling around in the default aircraft and scenario with heavy thunderstorms got me up to about 3.2 GB.  That's default scenery and moderate to high display settings.

 

Ok, thanks,

 

gb.

Just ordered an R9-290 (non.X)

MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming Twin Frozr    hope it performs well :Praying:

 

So much for the trip to Paris

 

The mountain bike is still open for purchase (benefits of quitting smoking)

 

I have this one too. I think you are gonna like  :Applause:

Let us know how it goes

 

 

Got it today thanks to NCIX and Purolator's fast service

 

 

Overall, textures are always loaded when I go see the ground from the VC

 

And fps are always about 33 to 50% more

 

Everything os so much smoother....

 

Worth the upgrade IMHO, but expensive

 

will be selling my old HD7970 on eBay soon

 

 

My flight into thunderstorms (used April 14th weather ASN) at KMSY with photoreal airport custom scenery and Aerosoft's New Orleans active

30000 terrain shadow

20000 cloud shadow

2048 max_textures

 

Quite a pleasant landing

 

used max 3014MB VRAM and 2.62G physRAM

ProcessExplorer showed 9.485G total RAM at landing and 3.93G after shutting down P3D for a 5.5G usage

Well, I managed to push things to about 3.7 GB with ORBX at sunset.  Something strange, though, is that GPU-Z is not reporting that my second card is doing anything despite showing that Crossfire is enabled.  Now I'm wondering if it's a GPU-Z issue, a P3D issue, or something I'm missing...

It is doing what it should

Good to know.  I have never really played with GPU-Z since setting up Crossfire, so I wasn't sure how it reported.

Thanks Peppy for your feedback

Please advise what to put graphics settings on this graphics card;)

P.S I use orbx global and vector + rex 4
