November 22, 20187 yr I recently noticed that when I have cloud shadows on, I tend to lose 25% to 50% of FPS in cloudy weather, not all around, only when panned in certain direction. I wonder if there is a known solution to this. I did search REX forum. I have REX sky force, DTX5 1024 cloud textures use. i7 + 1080 with reasonable settings. I normally get 40FPS at all times. Thanks in advance and happy thanks giving. JasonFAA CPL SEL MEL IR CFI-I MEI AGI
November 23, 20187 yr Same here. Shadows in common are a performance killer. There is a cfg entry.. I can't remember the exact words but should be something like opaque shadow res or similar. Just do a search with the keyword "shadow". The standard setting is 4096. I have reduced it to 1024 and gained a good amount of fps back.
November 23, 20187 yr It depends on the GPU. Here I have Cloud Shadows Draw Distance to max icw Cloud Shadow Quality to Low and with 3 views my 2080Ti is running without losing more than 20% fps compared to No Shadows. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

I'm using 1070ti And I can achieve good FPS in most of the titles but when it comes to P3D and it's cloud shadows, BAM ! 60% performance loss !
