My VRAM is on par with BF5  in 4k (roughly 7,5 GB). So it's not like we are seeing absurd amounts of VRAM...

I understand the two of them are significantly different games. One is open world (P3D), whereas the other is within a set confine of a map...

I run V5 almost maxed out with these default little planes, will likely scale back when FSL, PMDG enters the fray.

What happens with multiple cloudlayers and rainy weather ?

And a scenery like True Earth GB + AS Heathrow with lost of AIG traffic ?

I also have a 4K display + 2080 8Gb 

I have a discrepancy of Vram usage between internal Shift Z and TechPowerup GPU Z app and the overlay display from RTSS.   Just loaded a default scenario, with conservative settings.   The internal display tells me 3.6GB used out of 6.7GB.  (1070 card with 8gb).   But GPU Z and RTSS overlay shows me my vram usage is 5.7GB.   This is quite a difference.  Anyone confirm this?

If I remember correctly wouldn't GPU-Z tell you what the entire system is using. Then the red text in the SIM is telling you what the sim is using.

me thinks.....This version of P3D V5 is sponsored by Nvidia with subliminal messages in the sim.  Look for ILS approaches with a course heading of 208.0 TI ( IAF waypoint TITAN)

🤣

Ah thats what it is. Shouldve known that. Thanks

 

I've just made a test in ORBX TE London area. Flying over London  from NE to SW with a2a C172 @ 3500 ft,  I observed the following:

With moderate settings P3Dv5 was using  6.4-6.8 /9.2 GB  GPU RAM.

Higher settings gave 7.2-7.4 /9.2 when panning around (direct over London City, inside and outside camera view) it got increased to 7.8 /9.2 GB.

I continued flying but the high number (7.8) remained even when over the outer London area, then during flight, I increased my settings again but now to maximum (all sliders full right) - Boom ... no CTD but  GPU usage decreased instead to 6.5 at exactly the same position where it was a minute before (Settings change takes a while over dense areas).

What does this mean? IMO GPU RAM does not unload fast enough, but it can bet forced to do so by changing settings. Is this a principal issue of DX12, or can it be fixed by LM?

Maybe many textures got dumped when you altered the settings, that may explain the usage decrease

Did the same as you yesterday, with the F35 and for me usage droped when i was leaving london city area.

Ordred a Radeon VII with watercooling today very interested to see the differences when i have plenty of VRAM.

I wish my trees and autogen looked like this in V5 (i have all ORBX regions installed) but it looks totally cartonish here on my installation

i reduced the bloom, saturation and brightness settings within p3d i think that helped.

This actually FlyTampa EKCH v2. It has huge custom autogen over urban CPH. 🙂

I've been running Majestic Q400,REX Cloud,  AIG traffic , FSDT KORDV2. That combo brings V5 FPS lower that V4.5 for me and get VRAM OOM. As it is now, V5 is unusable as I cannot figure the settings that will guaranty to be VRAM OOM free. And then, those settings will be lower that V4.5. So I get 0 benefits from V5

Is that scenario with TruSky on or off?

Is Q400 and AIG allready officialy running? 

Disabling True Sky reduced my VRAM load over TE South about 1 - 1.2 GB
