July 12, 20169 yr 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
July 12, 20169 yr Here are some images from my side. Skymaxx is maxed out and photo scenery is being used. Resolution 3440x1440 Ultra Wide screen Rendering settings
July 12, 20169 yr 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.

July 12, 20169 yr Commercial Member 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. Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
July 12, 20169 yr Would it be worth it to upgrade from a GTX 580 to a 1080, for P3D purposes? Will I see a difference? Brendan R, KDXR PHNL KJFK Type rated: SF34 / DH8 (Q400) / DC9 717 MD-88/ B767 (CFI/II/MEI/ATP) Majestic Software Q400 Beta Team / Pilot Consultant / Twitter @violinvelocity

July 13, 20169 yr How much VRAM does that GTX 580 have? Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
July 13, 20169 yr 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 It may be considered outdated I guess, I purchased it in 2010.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.

July 14, 20169 yr I heard the best cure for P3D issues is to format the harddrive it resides on. - Currently giving X-Plane 12.10 a spin on Shadow PC. 10 years with X-Plane now, since 10.20
July 14, 20169 yr 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. Maarten Otto

July 15, 20169 yr Today i assembled my new computer. (I7 6700k+GTX1080 Strix+32GB RAM) Is it recommendet to reinstall Xplane, or can i use my old installation?
July 15, 20169 yr Author Old should be fine, xplane leaves nothing in the registry afaik. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......
