Gonna check it out. I like their videos, they are usually quite detailed.

It really does look like the sim can be held back by CPU power.

15 minute tutorial.

8 minute commercial.

Overly hung up on achieving 60fps which, of course, isn't a bad thing, but it's not the ONLY thing. Never once mentions "smoothness" or "fluidity" or similar.

My 2 cents.

Click bait.

Very detailed analysis, and it's good they showed results with both AMD and NVIDIA under CPU-limited scenarios. NVIDIA's aggressive DirectX 11 optimisation through the drivers is really showing in here (it's their alternative to the scrapped ARM co-processor for Maxwell if anyone remembers that), but AMD GPUs have been historically performing better under DirectX 12 so things could change drastically then. I hope they will consider making another video when DirectX 12 and ray-tracing arrive.

Doesn't use those words, but they show FPS graphs showing how smooth it can be.

fps says nothing how smooth it is, you can have good fps 40 - 50 and not smooth flight.

and you can have lowish fps 25 - 30 and smooth flight.  this i have and i love it.

Alex Battaglia is the man when it comes to performance analysis. However what's lacking is his flight sim experience. Measuring in the external view, with small planes, well, it's another thing compared to airliner cockpits. It will bite-off a large chunk of the CPU, yet it is the primary use case (at least for heavy metal flyers). Do a take-of with a handcrafted airport in view, well, he entirely steered clear of this world of pain! Also, his focus on 60FPS is kind of naive, when most of us struggle to even achieve a locked 30FPS.

Doesn't he mention the entire "capture" was recorded on the super duper i7-10900 Origin computer, not his i5 or the computers he was purportedly tuning? I left wondering if he was tuning my computer or trying to sell me another one.

I was surprised when I saw that he used V-Sync locked to 60 fps inside the game, it is well known that V-Sync in the game is broken, right?

CPU limited with 3900x -  bad news for me then.

 

BUT: I'm still buying a RTX 3090

The B-Roll footage was on the super machine, any comparison footage was shot on the machines listed in the top corner.

The next patch is supposed to improve performance with CPU threading.

Darn, looks like i missed something... What does that mean? In the game that's exactly what I am doing, seems to be working fine. What would be the alternative? NVidia panel? Sorry if that's a real noob question...

Probably in Nvidia panel, I have read here on the forum several times that V-Sync is broken inside the game due to a bug, I use G-Sync myself so I really don't know if it is a fact.
