So i just updated Windows 10 to version 2004 Insiders after seeing someone get 1Gig of VRAM by doing the same. I flew Drzewiecki Designs Seattle X airports updated installer yesterday, with sliders maxed i was peaking at 8.2 GIG VRAM out of 9.1 allocated in total, After today's Insiders update it gave my 1080TI an extra 1GIG of VRAM from 9.1 GIG VRAM to 10.1 GIG VRAM so W10 OS has given back 1 GIG. 🙂 and this was with full sliders and 50% traffic i reached 7.5 which is a significant increase.

 

 

Cheers.

Good to know, wonder if LM will recommend this along with whatever they hotfix. Eventually everybody will get the 2004 update but not for a while 

I did too. I also a 1080ti and 32GB. More VRAM is available but still get DEVICE_HUNG error no matter how many throws of the display options dice I throw. Waiting for the patch.

 

Also using TdrDelay to 8 seconds. No dice either.

 

1 more edit.. Most issues are not related to VRAM (I am at 3.1GB at times and still device_hung occurs. But as it is in the realm of the graphics card, I will mention about it here.

I have not experienced a device hung yet, i tried by pushing everything excluding the terrain mesh slider, but it never happened...

Interesting.. are you using any 3rd party aircraft in that case?

I`m using the A2A Cessna and Milviz MD500. And i switched off hyperthreading, it`s smoother for me with this build and less heat. I`m permanently OC at 5GHZ...

Have you tried:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

add the DWORD(32-bit) key named "TdrLevel" with the value zero

Paul Racines @pracines noted that on the LM forums at one point in time.  I am still testing it, but so far, so good...no more DEVICE_xxx errors.  This was for a slightly different error message, but it's worth a shot.

Yes, but I have it set to '3' will try '0' , thanks

Mace, that tip has helped me to complete a 1 hour leg at last. On the return leg device_hung happened after 20 mins. But its a great improvement for the interim, many thanks.

Microsoft rolls out new major versions gradually. The release version is 2004, which uses the same format as AIRAC releases. So April, 2020 is when the rollout began.

I think you can force an update 

You can just join the Windows Insider Program but then you might get updates that are buggy.

Current reports say May 12th / 13th for the release of 2004. The build is already RTM, so it's 'done' and can be safely used.

You can either join as a Microsoft Insider (slow ring for now) and you'll be able to download it, can even leave insider immediately and then only receive stable channel updates from there on out. You can also download the full ISO from the insider page if you want a clean installation -- Obviously requires being an insider as well.

Ah I didn’t realize it was still in testing.
