Ben, good point LOL.

There is no official word about these cards, no release date and nothing about vram size. Might as well hold out for 5080 or something. If you need an upgrade, go for it.

lol, do your home work.

leonardo released 2K VC files also - that should help with 8gb cards.  For now on my end I am running full 4K with 4096 textures and Truesky off.  That does seem to save lots of vram.

I feel that if I now upgrade to a 2070 with 8 gb vram I might be running out of memory soon again. Who knows when the 3070 or 3080 will be released. Which one do you guys recommend for a decent price (around $800) and min 10gb vram? Thanks

Look for a used 1080ti would be my suggestion.

Joe, soumds like a good idea, 11gb should last a while.  Thanks a lot!

Again: DEVICE_HUNG has nothing (read: NOTHING) to do with running out of VRAM.

90% the causes are driver errors or hardware issues (overclocking, overheating, degrading etc.).

That is absolutely untrue regarding p3d v5.  It will cause this error if you run out if vram

I keep getting G2D.DLL error switching to outside view around 7gb VRAM with Truesky. Will try without it to in 4K.

Any CTD with GSX?

Mike, you are exactly correct. This is what I got from Leonardo regarding the DXGI error.

 

Hi,
this is a known issue of P3D V5, it uses much more VRAM memory then the previous version.
You need at least a video card with 8Gb but still can have issues if your slider are all to the right.
The only solution is to lower your graphic settings in P3D, and switch off enhanced atmosphere.

Kind regards,

 

Best

Cant find anything about it. Feel free to post some links. Rumors and unsubstanciated leaks not welcome. 

Are you for real ? 🤣

Guys install MaddogX the way it is with 4K textures and all.  

Then all you do is set P3Dv5 to 1024 textures , clean shaders and run the sim.

Now you will get all fancy VC with pretty much everything.

I will post some sceneries and settings based from my part 2 setting thread

I am able to do this - Fly Tampa KLAS on top of Orbx Socal and on top of Global 2020 NG mesh.  With AS P3D Beta 2 + ASCA + EnvTex+EnvShade + Aig planes and I still have VRAM left

Are you? Instead of posting snippy comments, why don't you go ahead and back up your claims.

I asked you nicely to post some information that I, and I assume most others, might have missed, because I can't find any official announcement of next GeForce line specifications or release date. Everything out there is currently just rumors and telling someone to make decisions based on rumors and speculations is just stupid. One might end up making a very bad decision based on such nonsense.

He’s quite correctly pointing out that the next gen of cards is likely coming in the next few months, and that there is a lot of data (including from Nvidia) that the new architecture will be a much bigger jump forward in performance then the 20xx series was to the 10xx series. In other words: he’s giving out some good advise that could save you money.

I just got the maddog today and was learning how to run it up from a cold start.  What I noticed is that the VRAM kept creeping up even while sitting at the gate and eventually crashed.  I am using a 2080ti and it started at about 5.1 GB and when it crashed it was at 8.2GB.  I would guess there is a leak of some sort because I wasn't moving at all.  Spent about an hour at the gate before the crash
