New Computer: Intel 6700K @ 4.6ghz + Nvidia 1080GTX VS X-Plane 10

[Glenn_C 135]

Ok so with the IXEG 737 at MrX SFO with Skymax and World Traffic running with everything maxed out I was getting 50 FPS at 1920X1080

 

at 3440x1440 I was getting 20FPS so I dropped the eye candy a little and now getting 35FPS

Here are some images from my side.

 

Skymaxx is maxed out and photo scenery is being used. Resolution 3440x1440 Ultra Wide screen

I'm honestly not that impressed with the 1080. Went from 780Ti to 1080 and I barely notice any difference in Xplane, but I guess having more Vram is a plus.

Strange.  I went from a 780ti to a 980ti (EVGA OC) about a year ago and I definitely noticed a difference on a 1440p monitor.

 

To be honest, although it would be exciting to spring for a new card, I've been happy enough with my 980ti that I'm planning on hanging onto it for another year. Perhaps see how things shake out, or spring for a new CPU & MB next year if there's anything compelling to upgrade to.

Would it be worth it to upgrade from a GTX 580 to a 1080, for P3D purposes? Will I see a difference?

Maybe better to ask in the P3D forum?

How much VRAM does that GTX 580 have?

How much VRAM does that GTX 580 have?

 

1.5Gb only. It may be considered outdated I guess, I purchased it in 2010. I'm one of the old "sandy bridge" processor people.

For P3D, I think a new processor would be the first priority......

I heard the best cure for P3D issues is to format the harddrive it resides on.

[Maarten Otto 18]

P3D is still a 32bit software so you will be fine with the G3258 duo core, and oc it to 4.5Ghz. That would be about a $200 investment for both CPU and new water or air cooling. Run Windows on core 0 and P3D on core 1.... done.

I see what you did there! :smile:

Old should be fine, xplane leaves nothing in the registry afaik.

Just use your old install, but some payware will need to be reactivated.
