My new GTX 1080 ran out of memory

Featured Replies

 Then you should doubt LM message box as well since it stated upon exit that P3D ran out of memory

That kind of sucks I have memory but can use it :sad:

 

I can't kill my eye candy. Gotta back up on sliders.

 

By the way since P3D was not freshly installed with new video card would it make sense to do something with shaders? Renew them perhaps?

xplane 10 will use all ram on your 1080 and all ram in your pc

    The card memory has nothing to do with the crash! FSX and P3D are both 32bit so they can't use any more the 4GB. You could have a 50GB video card and you will get the same result. Maxing out the slid

    No, it's the fault of P3D being a 32 bit application, same as FSX and FS9, although P3D can make better use of the allocation, it's still 32 bit.   You've been here since 2011 and I would think that

I know its a bloody disgrace. These people should be ashamed of themselves, and we must do everything to make them feel like the simpletons they are  :unknw:

 

.... or it could be politely explained, so they gain a better understanding, without being made to feel small :fool:

 

Thankyou.  I'm one of them.

P.S.I owned my first computer at the time when every decent user used to write specific autoexec.bat and config.sys for each game they own. So don't agitate me with you contemporary junk  :P

 

Yep.  Remember when we always had to manually assign IRQs for our sound cards and other things?  Those were the days.

I know that it is used as a term, but this does not make it more right, no? The problem is, that even so called "experts" from hardware magazines misuse the term "VRAM". It is per definition (as my wiki-link shows, but also here: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/vram) only valid for a very specific type of RAM used on graphics cards some decades ago. And it is NOT the same as GDDR (which you explained correctly).

But when you say that the cards no longer has VRAM onboard, that is incorrect. They all have VRAM onboard, either GDDR5, GDDR5x or HBM.

Well then, forget about it, of course you are right :rolleyes:

Frame Buffer is the term you are looking for, however it is in modern times used interchangeably with VRAM.  

Enough is enough. Topic closed.
