The performance improvement is on DX11. Oooooof

Not surprising at all, they've been saying since DX12 was announced that it wouldn't bring any performance increases, at least nothing notable.

I think people get this assumption that DX12 will magically fix things because of P3Dv5

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display 

Great work and improvement!   Looking much smoother, and clearly the workload is more balanced.   That and trees fix is a big step forward.

I thought DX12 had caused problems in P3D.

Performance was better (at least for me), but it did cause crashes, out of memory and such.

The PerformancePlus test is essentially the X-Box Build according to Jorg.

It has potential for better performance. Just like Vulkan.

I would take a lower FPS without crashes and OOMs any day.

PC Improvements

Sebastian explains that they have rewritten a lot of parts of the engine's architecture to improve CPU performance and reduce memory consumption. He is previewing a New York comparison between Sim Update 4 and Sim Update 5 on his personal developer PC. With the new update, the framerate is improved from 30-40 to 55-60 FPS, the RAM consumption has been reduced from 27GB to to 14,5GB, and the GPU is fully used since the CPU is no longer the bottleneck. The stutters are completely gone as well. "

OMG!

sounds good, but i am one of those old first see then believe types.

Really promising results with those increases in performance! Wasn't it like almost 50% gain? Performance for me is quite good already, and getting double digit percent improvements in addition to that is kind of mind blowing.

So PC won't get DirectX 12 on July 27th.  Looks like Sim Update 5 on July 27th will keep the PC version of MSFS on DirectX 11.  Asobo said the team is still working on DirectX 12 for the PC version of MSFS.

It has, it’s a low level API. But what they have said is basically that it isn’t just like clicking a switch, and they would have to work on DX11 first, because it had still some space to do so.
 

Now they are delivering the DX11 improvements, they might move to DX12. The sim engine is now more mature to move on. I think it was a smart move, it can avoid future issues.

******* Christ. That's outstanding. I don't need to upgrade to a 3080 Ti to increase my fps by 20. Thank you, team!

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
