Hi guys,

Just conducting some pre patch tests and will post my results and I thought id also share with you guys.

            RTX 3080FE

Resolution: 3840 x 2160 (4k)

All settings on High End default.

A/I traffic is off

Multiplayer is off

weather is set to Broken Pre-set @10am local Uk

And live data streaming is on.

Pre patch results:

Looking forwards to seeing the results. I can imagine we will see a lot of these before vs afters, hopefully all following a similar trend.

Thank you, this is going to be interesting.

If I may suggest, please also run a test at 2560x1440. The improvements of the new build will be on the CPU side and many people still don't use 4K resolution.

A single test at 4K would mask most of the improvements probably.

@Bilal2104  Thanks for doing this.  Can you just confirm you are running at 4k but with scaling set at 100%?  (I think it looks like you are).

Also, it is only a minor thing, but just to make it easier to check the results afterwards, I notice you have CPU, GPU, RAM Usage the other way around in 'sitting on runway' compared to the other results.

Thanks for taking the time to do it.  The outcome will be interesting.

Good lookout, ill make sure i put them in the correct order for post reults.

4k@ 100% scale correct

Looking forward to this. I am getting average 30fps with the 2080 Super 1080p on Ultra, would love to get into 4K territory.

I jotted down a few of my own measurements yesterday but you're going to generate a more complete report. Look forward to your results!

Should use Cavok weather for more meaningful results.

Maybe, but the update might affect cloud performance.  I've done my pre update tests with scattered clouds.  It will be interesting to see the comparisons this evening, though a 70 gb udate is going to take a few hours to download, so I may not find out until tomorrow.

Only another hour to wait 🌝

70 GB? From where do you know?

Pretty sure I read that whilst the update would be around 70 gb, the code replaces a lit of ild code and shouldn't increase the size on disk by anywhere near that amount (20 gb was guessed at).

[Maxis 1,857]

The update is less than 50gb 40-43 GB no where near 70GB

[btacon 1,772]

40 for base game. Additional 22 gigs for premium from the store. 

YMMV but expect between 50-60 gigs total.

Yes, 40.29gb downloading now, with 22.92gb mandatory update later.
