If I end up with crashes although I´ve got those minimum requirements either those specs are wrong or the program is faulty.

September 10, 20205 yr Author So what is v5.1-2 going to do exactly regarding VRAM? This whole 8gb VRAM minimum is really a bummer... My 9900k at 4.8 and my 2080super are still running well and I have 32gb of system ram. With my current setup and resolution I can run decent sliders in v.4.5. Really not in the market for a $1,499.00 card atm... Chris Camp

Really not in the market for a $1,499.00 card atm... The answer seems fairly clear, then--stick with v4.5 and DX11 for the time being. I think many DX12 game titles are going to use--and require--more VRAM. That appears to be the price of progress.

You can run out of vram all day long and never have a dxgi error and you can have dxgi errors and not be anywhere close to running out of vram. Some users get both while many others don't have issues at all. I've had a few dxgi errors when v5 first came out but none since and have never have problems with vram. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024

With TE-Florida as Texture Load=10, and the sim cranked right out...with E.A. on...you need MORE than 8 GB's...most likely 10 as for the new RTX1080. I have 8GB's and with the sim maxed out as I like it...and running TE-Florida with the 10 tweak, I can't run the sim. It crashes out with Vram OOM's. If I run without E.A. on...no OOM's...so...yeah...you need 10GB's at least, to NOT face any OOM's...with the sim cranks full out...and E.A. set to on. Edited September 11, 20205 yr by Sesquashtoo

There is always Raleigh scattering, regular haze and clouds haze. So I do not need the AG range to be set higher than medium as AG would be calculated that I cannot see .... The same goes for LOD radius. High abd Ultra makes no difference on my setup with my custom shaders ( Raleigh scattering , clouds haze, regular haze ).. That might explain why I use 4K only but have enough headroom with VRAM. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
September 11, 20205 yr Author So reading through this, I'm basically screwed on an Upgrade to v5, until I get a new GFX card with at least 16GB of VRAM? Unless I turn the settings, I currently use, way down and hope for the best with EA on, Orbx TE regions and complex add-on airports? Chris Camp

Unless I turn the settings, I currently use, way down and hope for the best with EA on, Orbx TE regions and complex add-on airports? It depends on your needs and pleasure - sorry if it was mentioned before in this thread - but with a 8GB its possible to run at least 1080P with a demanding aircraft like the FSL/PMDG/Maddog. I am running MSFS for VFR and P3dv5 for IFR and even at 4K its hardly above 5GB VRAM with medium settings . (BUT EKCH,KORD,KMIA etc. at least 11GB card with 4K) Michael Moe Michael Moe
September 11, 20205 yr In the past, Rob Ainscough and maybe others, have posted some recommended settings, for different levels of computers. Has anyone done this yet for P3D 5? Love to know which sliders are the most critical for preventing vram ctd's. I'm running a 9900K @5.0, 32 gb ram and a GTX 2070 Super with 8GB's. Thanks. Dan Cole
