P3Dv5 Excessive vRam usage

Featured Replies

Maybe msfs, but that seems quite a ways off, so probably not a correct guess (have you seen the requirements for that thing? I'm pretty much not worried about them since seeing requirements and thats with the minimums, "the suggested" are a land far, far away for me.

Yes, as does TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=10 provided you have enough VRAM.

Myself and a few other developers recommended LM not release V5, there are many issues/bugs ... 

 The question that comes to mind is why wasn't this info regarding the 'many issues/bugs' posted here before V5 went on sale?

Probably because they were under NDA about it? It could also be LM knew and wanted our help finding the bugs

It does seem curious why LM had to rush v5 out the door. 

Rumor is LM had a change of management and release was their first major decision. Note this is a rumor.

LOL! LM has a new CEO but if he is that involved in the day to day operations, he might have the shortest tenure of any LM CEO.

I think @pgde meant the Prepar3d team leads maybe? https://www.prepar3d.com/latest-news/ (Adam Breed, Rob McCarthy, and Chris Metel)

I've heard of Adam and Rob before, is Chris new?

that will probably take longer than 2 weeks to be resolved. So much for a refund policy.

He's been with the P3d team since 2011.

Yup, he took over when Wes Bard left.

I could be wrong about this, but I think that he took over P3d last December when Adam Breed got a promotion.

Just check you P3D settings to conserve VRAM until LM address the CTD.

Umberto also explained this.. Locking to 30fps instead of 60 will also help.

Using the sim's limiter or some other third party limiters ?

I would recommend the Sim limiter. But should have a similar effect with others.

8GB isn't a lot of VRAM anymore. Adjust the sliders to make it work for your system.

I disagree, 8GB may not be absolute top of the line like you see with the 2080ti, but it's still high end and in the realm of GPUs that cost at least half a grand.  The game is just horribly optimized

Hi,

Yesterday I downloaded the Win10 2004 update, along with nvidia driver 446.14

Just as a heads up, I'm seeing about 500mb to 1GB less VRAM usage. Together with that in game I get the message that I have 5.2 GB of VRAM at my disposal from the 6GB Nvidia 1060 GTX I have onboard. (before the update this was 5GB)

So all in all this allows me to turn my p3dv5 settings up just a notch whilst avoiding the dreaded "device hung" or "out of VRAM" errors. It's no miracle solution however. I still need to disable Truesky or reduce my textures to 1024x1024. This is tested at FlyTampa EHAM + Orbx TE Netherlands or LatinVFR KMIA + Orbx OpenLC North America, UTLive traffic installed and PMDG 747-400.

Kind regards,

Nico

I don't think 8gb could be considered high end.  Upper medium more so.  But just semantics.
