Hello, i wanted to switch to v5 of prepar3d after playing v4.5 for several months without a problem but when I run P3Dv5 I have this error which appears and P3D closes, I looked on several forums but I found no solution to my problem. Could you help me please ?

Most likely you ran out of VRAM. Monitor that in the GPU session in Windows task manager for the dedicated GPU memory. Once you come close to the limit P3D does what you saw.

I have the same card you have. Managing Vram is tough with only 6 gigs. I have found I can have most settings on high (not maxed) and at my most detailed airports, with orbx scenery and AIG AI traffic+ GSX, and realwx, I max out at 4.9 out of an available 5.2 gigs of Vram.  I'm still tweaking.

If its a VRAM related error I would try two things in P3Dv5:

  • Switch off the Advanced Atmospherics (Truesky Beta)
  • Reduce your Texture Resolution

I run a 6 gig 1060 and available vram is 5.2. It's easy to abuse it. I try to stick to using less than 4.6. the only times I've had video driver not working is when using Milviz 350i (even the latest low-rez ver.) As long as I don't attempt that particular plane I'm fine. I think 6gig cards are about as low as you can comfortably use.

What aircraft are you using?

Have turned off texture streaming this takes some load off the GPU.

Does it?

It's meant to precisely reduce VRAM errors, in exchange for increased CPU load.
