Do note he is capturing with OBS and then transcoding to YouTube that is known to introduce stutters. He did also say in the comments that he noticed litte difference from 16 GB RAM in the alpha to the 32 GB he now has with the beta, and that clouds don't really seem to make much difference to framerate. Although I do agree that we should focus less on numbers and more on feel, I don't think you can really do that until you have it sat i front of you.

Pretty sure Squirrel mentioned the stutters with OBS.

I agree with the 100% GPU utilisation - absolutely how it should be these days, no good having CPU on 100% with your GPU on 80% for instance.

Resources are there to be exploted. Like RAM, this sim uses it at all, only a few hundres of MB are left to avoid paging (using HDD/SSD like more RAM, but a lot slower). 

But there you will need room for any kind of addons to breath.

You will need more RAM for a future demanding scenery or more VRAM for a future Orbx textures...

At least nowadays, apps can optimize resources by loading unloading unused textures and stuff like that to run fine.

Heh, remember all the threads in the P3D forums where people were frustrated because their cards and hardware wasn't being maxed out, sitting at 50-60%

Now it's finally being maxed out, then that's a point of worry too.

I remember not long ago users complaining about VRAM issues in P3Dv5 DX12, but the good news is you can splash out on a new GPU soon 1500-2000+

Works in FSX you say. Got any reviews of that, in FSX? 

Yes it works in FSX and P3D some addons ex the717 had flasings, i run P3D for more then 1 year 2x1080TI.

XP11 not work in SLI , when run both P3D and XP11 i put one single 2080TI 

i have 2 2080TI one in my web pc and sim pc, have 2 1080TI in a drawer that do nothing.

My post is in reference only to Nvlink which only runs on 2080 cards, Titan cards, and Quadro cards.  1080’s would have been in sli configuration and would have been relying on the software developer to enable specific support for sli, or hacks that allow for it.

the young man in the video was using two 2080ti cards in Nvlink.

I have no reason at all to believe that Asobo will support sli in the new sim.  I spoke to one youtube fellow who was running two 1080ti in sli, and he stated that the second card did not activate, so I wouldn’t believe the final release would be any different.

Nvlink is a completely different animal altogether.

I'm not a computer guru, but why would you not want your gpu to run at its max? Isn't that pretty normal in most games these days? I know my 1080ti runs 99% in most games i play. Isn't thats what producing the graphics and such we see, kinda makes sense.  

CPU threads are heavier than GPU ones. The new XBOX Series X can do 12 teraflops with it's AMD Ryzen.

probaly SLI (NVLINK) is broken as in the Asabo The Crew2.

I have run a lot bench with 2080TI now how it works 

here is my best timespy score https://www.3dmark.com/spy/7015803

Yes..check out youtube for one.  I will open a thread on my results Tuesday or Wednesday on my dual 2080ti setup as well.

 

 

Thanks.

I would love to see the setup of the 1% that had a better result than yours!

Yep, de-shrouding and sticking a pair of Noctua's on your card can make temps and noise plumett. Will definately do the same if required.

I noticed on some videos that the GPUs are running at near full speed. I have never played a game where it ran further than 50-60% power. 99% seems like a stress test! 

 

I usually play at adaptive half refresh 30 FPS so I can enjoy a smooth experience and not tax the GPU hard. I know my machine could run it faster but to the expense of burning out the card?

Any video game not being bottle necked by the CPU or running with a frame rate limit will run at 99% GPU load, always.  

RE MSFS2020:

My GPU (RXT2070) is at 100%
and my CPU (i7-8700 @ 4.2Ghz) is a 50% 
Seeing 30 FPS on Medium graphic setting, dropping to 20 in heavy scenery areas.

 

What should I upgrade to get better FPS?

A faster CPU (i7-10k)
A faster GPU (2080 ti)?

Of course 'both' would be best, but just wondering where I should expect to see most bang for my buck on FPS.

 

Thanks

Didn't read all replys but 99 percent GPU use is fine. Would you really want new software to come out that only uses a bit of the card? Not me. I would rather it use the full potential. As long as it is stable (I have had my issues already). There are other AAA games that use 99 percent as well. This is future proofing. In 2-5 years there will be new cards to be had. 

Why buy an expensive CPU and GPU when you only use them at 50% performance.

Just buy a cheaper CPU and GPU.
