January 20, 20179 yr Just installed my brand new MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G into my 'old' PC: an i7 [email protected] and 16 GB of RAM. My previous GPU was a GTX 780 with 6 GB VRAM. I was surprised to see the difference it makes in a sim that is quite new but still based on an older system (afaik) and a newer sim. I set up two situations in both sims and tested them a few times before and after the swap. XP11, settings med to high GTX 780 22/23 fps GTX 1080 29/30 fps Increase of fps is around 30% Aerofly FS2, everything maxed out GTX 780 160 fps GTX 1080 300 fps That's almost an increase of 100% (EDIT well, I calculated it and it's around 90%) Even though 33% is quite nice it isn't the difference a GTX 780 to 1080 should deliver. The increase that Aerofly shows however is similar to tests I have seen done with various games. XP11 performs a bit better but still feels sluggish (and that's not with maxed out settings). Aerofly FS 2 already screamed along but now it's even better...! Seems AFS2 really has an up to date modern graphics engine that really uses the possibilities of the GPU! BTW In case you wonder why I wasn't satisfied with 160 fps: I am getting a Rift soon. :wink: P.S. I don't have P3D installed otherwise I would have tested that one too of course but I didn't want to install it just for a test.
