May 12, 20206 yr Hi guys, I have seen some posts about users with less than 8gb video cards - See if this strategy works. You do need Windows 10 2004 build (it is coming soon) - just try it with what you have. HT on or off -- that is up to you - I saw blurries with HT on my end. So I turned it off. I have 6 cores anyway. Req Enable HIGH_RESOLUTION_TERRAIN_TEXTURES=1 in Settings (make sure to click it and thats it) Req TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=10 (you could try 9 also) - this goes in [TERRAIN] Req LOD_RADIUS=2.500000 (Small LOD) - Yes 2.5 See my previous thread regarding this with 8gb cards Edited May 12, 20206 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
May 12, 20206 yr Thanks mate. I have a GTX 1060 6Gb which I am very happy with. I've done a bit of testing in v5 and haven't gone above 4Gb of VRam to date. However I want to enjoy my flight without keep monitoring VRam levels so 4.5 will be be main sim until the new 3000 cards come out I think. In the meantime, I'll give your tweaks a try. cheers Ian S

I am not even watching VRAM usage now, VRAM consumption is very different from PC memory usage - they have completely different speeds etc How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)

I had a hunch that 10 will not work with 6gb card Atleast you can use with lod 2.5 and hi-res textures. LOD 2.5 + TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=9 and make sure Hi res textures is clicked also in GUI Edited May 12, 20206 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
