Ah, that helps make more sense of your results.  I'm afraid that without changing said sliders to near maximum, there isn't much work for your GPU to do.  You could use the GPU utilization feature of a program such as GPU-Z to see just how much your GPU is being used during sim sessions, and verify this for yourself.  I'll bet it rarely peaks above 50% with medium sliders, even at 4k.  

I ran GPU-Z as you suggested.

Just sitting idle on the runway: GPU load is about 50%

When paused the GPU load is about 80%, but the fps also goes much higher.

So I guess the CPU is the bottleneck.

Thanks for checking!  Now crank up those settings and put that thing to work!

Hey.

i have a RTX 2080Ti it came yesterday. 

I have had no improvement in P3d at all over my 980Ti, not a single FPS improvement. In fact I lost FPS in my new card.

When you installed the new GPU did you delete your shaders  and backup and delete the config file and let he sim rebuild, your GPU will be listed in the config file.

I've never deleted shaders since FSX many years ago.

I just recieved my nvlink bridge yesterday and got SLI enabled on my 2080 Tis.  I need to purchase prepar3d yet,  but hopefully I can get you guys some numbers this weekend.  I'm running a 6900k processor at 4.3GHZ btw.

What is the full specification of your PC?

See Rob's Medium, High and Very High Settings for testing. I am sure with High and certainly with Very High Settings you will see a (big) difference between your 980Ti and 2080Ti card. You just need to up the settings that tax the graphics card...

 

This is where knowing the resolution settings/number of monitors etc. is crucial. If someone is running P3D @ 1920x1080 resolution on a single monitor, then upgrading from a 980Ti to a 2080Ti would probably be pointless.

yep, but robs tests show that a 2080ti is mostly pointless even in 4K ... I wont be purchasing one - try to pick up a used 1080ti instead

It is only of use if you use lots of shadows enabled icw high AA settings .

But that makes the Sim look much more realistic ....

Well, without even heavy shadow settings, just having regular bad weather with overcast/ multiple layer generated by AS16 should be a good test. That is the scenario that Rob should be testing. Flying with overcast skies with clouds set to 90mi saturates my 1070. I switch from 4k to 1080p. I' still don't know how much of a difference a 1080ti/2080 improves on that vs my 1070.

I think Rob's test gives us a pretty good idea on what the 2080 bandwidth capacity is vs the 1080.

Now as far as the 1070 vs the 1080ti: The 1080ti will give you a meaningful capacity boost vs the 1070 ....pop is dependent on your configuration .....in which you don't list.

FYI my 1080ti will not run heavy overcast with aggressive shadow settings.  I either have to turn cloud shadows off or reduce the draw distance.  I hate reducing the draw distance because then u see the cut off point around the aircraft.
