I'd actually like to try it, right to a vRAM CTD..if I get it...but it would be fun to try it out..TO GET THAT! I think this would give my 1070 8GB a stroke...! Oh, that isn't P3D, sorry. It was just an example of why volumetric clouds are the best. Hopefully P3D gets there though but it'll be a while I think. P3Dv4 + XP11 MFS

It seems to me that TruSky is overloading/overheating the GPU. Anybody else? You can’t overload or overheat it. It’s designed to run at 100% with its fan on, that’s what they built the thing for. Use it to its potential. I’ve seen 2080ti’s being abused by other games that use the full whack on them, that’s what they’re for!

Also..I wonder if TrueSky is independent of whatever cloud sets you have..OR..are you stuck with the set that comes with P3Dv5 as default. I did swap out from the defaut...so hope I didn't screw up the TrueSky rendering. I guess that I could always download the content again...which is where probably the sprites for TrueSky clouds reside...unless, TrueSky works with any cloud set, default or custom...dunno...

So, I was just wondering if I screwed myself, by replacing the cloud sets. Oh well, if I did..I can remedy that in short order..lol!

If the GPU (in our case) is not overclocked, under normal conditions you will not overload or overheat the card so basically fan speed will be quite. As soon as you go beyond normal specifications, overclock, high loads or have a situation where PC airflow/cooling is not correct you will arrive at the point where due to overheating fan speeds to go on high preventing as much as possible any damage. They are not design under normal conditions to run at 100% all the time, it's a safety feature. You need to read more and stop making wrong assumptions that "You can’t overload or overheat it". 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

Well now your statement is totally wrong. Fans are meant to run. The speed isn't going to kill them any sooner than they are rated for. Heat on the other hand, that is a bigger concern. Better to use the fans than have the processor on your graphics board basting itself and the rest of the card in it's own waste heat. The only downside to high fan speed is noise. People mine with these things running full load 24/7. A sim running it on and off full load for a few hours is nothing. Sure, it might not be quiet, but these cards are designed to take it. https://youtu.be/ZKk2dDMN1Xs https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/gpu-usage-100-when-playing.2116177/ Edited April 19, 20206 yr by Ianrivaldosmith

You're really nitpicking here, though you are correct in a sense. Modern GPUs will throttle their clocks down and fans up to meet the requirement of whatever software utilized. While it won't hold "100%" maximum clock speed you don't have to worry about software "overloading" your GPU, which is the point the other poster was getting at. In the event that you *are* tinkering with your GPU you're probably not worried about increased fan speed. Anyway, I typically play DCS and Falcon BMS but I've been looking to get into passenger flight sims. I was resolute to wait for MSFS20 but I jumped in when I saw P3D was updated to V5. Besides Orbx which seems to be universally recommended what else would you recommend to someone new to the platform? QualityWings 777 is high on my list though it isn't compatible right now from what I understand.
April 19, 20206 yr Oh boy, As a note, it is well known under FSX, P3D and XP11 when CPU and GPU is operating at 100% that will lead to stutters. And the reason is they operate at 100% will put in a bottleneck situation where unable to process the requests and the instructions of the programs. At 100% consumption in watts increases, the higher the energy consumption of our graphics or our processor, the higher the temperature it generates. This, in the long run, it is not good for the components. Yes fans are meant to run, but when they became noisy and run at 100% of capacity it is the first sign that the computer, cpu, gpu, power unit, or even memory are overheating. If the CPU is constantly at 100% usage while the GPU is around 90% or less, then this is a CPU bottleneck. On the other hand, if your GPU is stressed constantly at 100% but your CPU is under 90%, then this is a GPU bottleneck. If you guys think thats a good idea to overheat and ultimately fry the computer components please go ahead please, it's your money. Re P3DV5 I would wait for the fix before you spend any money on it. It's another rushed program right now but from what I see has lots of potential. Orbx is nice, as airplane wise I would like you to understand that all have bugs. Re QW777 or 787 I had the 787 and requested a refund due to some bugs unfixed and carried from one version to the other. I'm an airline pilot and strongly recommend PMDG products, less bugs. I used to have an MD80 that was also good while the FSLABS with their Airbus is the best. Expensive products but worthwhile purchasing. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
April 19, 20206 yr I'm really curious to try P3D5 but I just can't make myself fly without Active Sky. 😞
