September 25, 201411 yr 1080P isn't a terribly demanding resolution, I don't suppose you have a higher resolution screen available? Would you be willing to try out the DSR feature and see if it works with P3D's full screen windowed mode?
September 25, 201411 yr Author I finished mounting the card late yestarday so had not much time to test out deeper. I enabled DSR in the global parameters and it did not seem to have any effect. I will test it again tonight, and keep you updated.
September 25, 201411 yr I enabled DSR in the global parameters and it did not seem to have any effect. I guess you have to chose this in P3D v2.3 at the resolution too. Spirit
September 25, 201411 yr Ok, let's say I was very tired :rolleyes: Understand. No need to rush. Spirit
September 25, 201411 yr Wow, really considering going for the upgrade for a 970 and a new i5. From a 570 and a 2500k I would hope otd be a big upgrade. I just want something that can handle FTX AU airports such as Melbourne, day/night, hail/shine, with a bit of traffic in the NGX? Is that too much to ask, probably is haha. Not sure about anyone else here but if I tried that on my current system it has to be optimal conditions to be able to have a smooth approach. Anyone have a similar setup and could share some results? Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
September 25, 201411 yr Moderator From everything I have read going from a 780 to a 980 will show an improvement but only slight. Not worth the $$ unless you just have a lot of spare cash. It's the "bang for the buck" that's not there in those cases. Going from the 6 series, etc is a much better outlay of funds. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
September 25, 201411 yr I am curious about the performance difference between de 890 and 780 ( TI ) / Titan. 980 is 10% faster than a 780 Ti. Glenn Ryzen 3700X, X570 Pro Wifi, 32GB 3600mhz RAM, Nvidia Titan Xp "Galactic Empire", RM750x PSU, H700 case, 2x NVMe M2 SSD, 1x SATA SSD
September 25, 201411 yr And I was planning to sit on my 660ti until the spring refresh... I don't think that's going to happen now, not after seeing those results!
September 25, 201411 yr Going from a 770 to a 980 has not been a big wow factor. I am not seeing much of a frame rate improvement, in fact I am seeing strange up and down spikes which I did not have before. However, I am able to move a few sliders to the right that before would have caused a significant dip in frames. I will test different aircraft and sceneries this weekend but it doesn't seem to be worth the money coming from a 770 and higher card. Also, the card is never higher than 50% load, the 770 was usually at 85%-100%. I think this would mean that my bottle neck is now my cpu which is a [email protected]. Can anyone chime in? 7900x3d , 64gb 6200mhz 30CL Ram, RTX 3080
September 25, 201411 yr Author Understand. No need to rush. Spirit Ok, I just gave DSR a try And... It's not gonna be very useful as is. - 1st, I cannot force more than 2x DSR - 2nd, I have to untick and re-tick "black out desktop" to force applying the new resolution (not a very big issue) - 3rd, AA is much more efficient with 8xSGSAA : less FPS impact, and better visual quality (see below) without scaling the whole UI down (basically 2 times tinier with 2x DSR)
September 25, 201411 yr I have just taken delivery of a 970 Jetstream .... One word of warning .. this card had 1 x DVI .... 3 x Mini Displayport .... 1 x Mini HDMI inputs I got around it by purchasing some 'Passive' adaptors and it works fine spanning P3D over three screens and a 4th screen for my moving map So ..if you do get a card with non standard inputs don't splash out lots of money on 'Active' adaptors ... they're not needed Paul

September 26, 201411 yr I had an opportunity today to test an EVGA 780 SC and an EVGA 970 SC in the same system running P3D. As expected, performance was nearly identical measured by FRAPS: 37.35 FPS with the 780 and 37.478 with the 970 in one flight and 59.44 and 59.02 in another flight with reasonably high settings for shadows, AA, and SGSS.
