Is it possible to reduce VRAM usage?

Featured Replies

To all our I.T. Experts out there.....I have an Nvidia 1080ti, 11GB.  I love the card, but I still get an eventual breakdown in P3dV5 after flying continually for over 200 miles or so.  I also have 32GB of Corsair DDR4 SDRAM - 3000MHz.  Members of this forum know that I have voiced this concern several times in search of a solution.  I use an Intel 8th Gen Core i7 8700K six core processor (overclocked 4.8GHz).

I was wondering if there is some tweak or step one can take to reduce VRAM usage or execute a specific setting that would help me with this eventual V5 breakdown.  My breakdown is characterized by plane textures disappearing and then stuttering/pausing so intensive that I have to Ctrl/Alt/Del to stop it.

This could be related to DX12 because it certainly doesn't happen in V4.5 or any other program.  

Any tweaks or tips would be appreciated.

It is DX12 as it adds more to the GPU, PBR DLSS the same is in store for MSFS when it moves to DX12, dropping texture settings will help.

In V5 the two best methods I've found to reduce vram usage is 1. Turning down texture resolution to 2048.  2. Enhanced Atmospherics off.  Those two have the biggest effect.
