I agree and Mr King is using a 980ti in his first look!

Jordan was talking about the TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP (exponent) and the increased VRAM required if you increase the default value of 8 to either 9 or 10. He says that a setting of 10 could require 8 to 12GB of VRAM. That discussion starts at around 10:25 in his video.

May 24, 20179 yr The default setting for TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP is 8 . If that produces similar to what we have with v3.4 with scenery textures, than we should be fine for now. I'm understanding that this increased demand on VRAM is because v4 can handle/address potentially more individual textures for higher quality that will require more VRAM. I need to look at what Jordan King said I the video again. If I can get what I had in v3.4 with dynamic lighting and increased autogen distance, I'm a happy camper.

May 24, 20179 yr For OP, from JV post on ORBX phorums 16GB is mandatory to take all advantages. Currently I was trying FSW which is mostly default and it can easily eats about 6-7GB even lower lod, lower autogen and so... I was able pus Flight School to use 15GB with high LOD radius. I can imagine that 16GB is decent amount for good visuals with addons. Take in account that it is not just SIM in memory, there is OS, background apps and so... I bet that heavy loaded P3D will suffer from OOMs with 16GB RAM. Currently I'm flying with X-Plane 11 little and I getting OOMs even I have 24GB RAM.. 15 minutes ago, Dirk98 said: I wonder if there is any noticeable difference between settings 8 and 10?
