My computer specs-i7-8700K Coffee Lake CPU 6 cores 3.7-4.7 GHz,Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB,32 GB DDR4 3000mhz,24” Asus VS247H Widescreen LED monitor are not enough to run P3Dv5 even at Default-constant stutters-very unpleasant!

v4.5h2 is smooth

Total opposite for me. V4 was a stutter fest and really poor fps on even medium settings.

With v5 I can put the settings up high get twice the fps and much less stuttering than before!

Upgrade to a used or new 1080Ti and call it a day.

Yeah... My performance got better, too. Lots better. I don't think you need a new system something does not sound right.

I think you need a new GPU.My system: i5-8600K (OC'd to 4.8Ghz - same as yours minus hyper threading), 16Gb DDR4-3600 (PC4-28800), RTX 2080Ti. As you can see... I have pretty close to the same system. Back in March I went from a GTX 1060 6Gb to the 2080Ti 11Gb. I can run 8xSSAA and crank all of the options. v5 has much better performance. At least 15+ FPS in the most complex scenery areas.

Its ridiculous that my EVGA070/8gb cant handle v5.

I'd be surprised if HF1 helps users like us with GTX 1070s. I have a feeling that we need at least a 1080ti. The sad part is that a used 1080ti or Pascal were affordable. The price for used ones have gone up. I've only been checking because XP11 also needs at least 11 gigs of vRAM to avoid blurry textures with Vulkan enabled.

Something else is accessing your CPU, OR hard drive 'read's...that is what is causing that. It is system specific, and not V5.  Find out what is resident in memory in your system.  Anti-Virus...will most certainly do that,...for it parses/sniffs every read-write action request on your system as well as any other program that is active in memory for checking in intervals updates such as anything written by Apple..for if you are connected to their product server...movies, music..cloud...  My v5 is stutter free, but I make sure that all back-ground programs and unneeded O.S. services are made inactive. I have always done that from the days of FS9.  If your flight sim (any and all sim RTM's) animation stutters,..first look outside of it...for most likely system-active is the culprit.

Am i to understand that my 1070GTX.8gb will not reliably run v5?

Theres no cash for a new GPU so where does that leave myself and others???

How are you doing this bro?  Using an app or what?

Running GTX 1070 here with locked at 30 FPS and very very smooth v5,  My vRAM runs anywhere from 3.9 to 4.9, no issues noted.  What processor are you using ?

8600K, running stable at 4.6, 32 GB DDR3200 RAM.

Excellent hardware ! You should be getting very good results.  Something else is causing your issues.  Hopefully someone can give you some help. 🙂

I’m was running on a 2060 (6GB) locked at 30FPS 1080p and it’s smooth as butter in some places. I got better performance than I did in 4.5.

1080P or 4k?

Very similar experience here with my 1070, my cpu is i7 7700k @ 4.8ghz.  I run in 2k.  The only time I’ve run out of vram was at flytampa cyyz in the feelthere e-jet v3.  All sliders were to the right though and I think the airport/aircraft/big city combo was just too much.  Before it crashed though it was a very smooth 25fps or so.

It will be interesting to see how 8gb cards fare once we get more complex airliners into v5, but also to see what Lockheed Martin can do to mitigate the vram consumption issues in the hot fix.
