August 25, 20205 yr Hi all, I know this has been mentioned in several performance threads, but I think it might be worth having a central topic for specifically this. Have any of you tried this new option in Windows 10 2004, and what difference did it make to your performance? Intel Core i7 8700k clocked to 4.6GHz, GTX1080Ti, 32GB DDR4 RAM, MSFS installed on NVMe drive, Windows 11, Dell 27" 60Hz Monitor + Dell 24" 60Hz Monitor. Resolution 1920x1080. Game Mode on, GPU scheduling enabled (Win11). MSFS settings: High-End for airlines, Ultra for GA.
August 25, 20205 yr Yes, I have tried it, and no, I have no idea if it made any difference to MSFS or any other program I use. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

August 25, 20205 yr Yes, I tried it. I noticed a huge difference with this option enabled. Increase in fps and a decrease in vram usage on my 2070 Super. After seeing this I told my wife and she enabled it on her 1660 system and noticed the same increase in fps and decrease in vram usage. This option lets the graphics card manage vram instead of Windows. Try it.

August 25, 20205 yr Reading the developer blog about the new feature, it doesn't sound like one should expect any major changes in performance. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling/ I have enabled it, but haven't noticed any changes so far either.

August 25, 20205 yr I've been running it enabled since 2004 released. I haven't noticed any real performance increases, but nothing harmful, either. As that article says, it's really more about laying the groundwork for more considerable changes in the future. There have been a few benchmark comparisons that pretty much confirmed as much, although I believe the lower end of GPUs that support that feature saw a bigger increase than the higher end. Basically anyone who claims it made a huge difference is fully under placebo effect.
August 25, 20205 yr I did a test in the NYC metro area on Ultra with my GTX 2060 Super prior to enabling it and nope, did not notice any gains at all. No biggie here, still satisfied with the performance I have but yea more frames is always nice 😛 Drew Sikora Staff Blog Founder/Designer, MSE Airports
August 26, 20205 yr Here's one video that does some comparisons. Looks like gaming doesn't benefit as much vs 3D design applications at the moment. https://youtu.be/47VDnHyCUig
August 26, 20205 yr I had an interesting result doing it... FPS didn't seem to change significantly but GPU % dropped from 100 to about 80. GTX 1050 ti card.
August 26, 20205 yr For me I got significantly lower fps, from 45 down to 26 fps on a 1070. Weird is that even the menu was sluggish, a true stutter fest! Although I am not entirely sure if it wasnt a momentary bug that happened coincidentally. But since I disabled it again my fps returned to normal. Will try again.
