GPU Memory Budget / CPU Memory Usage / CPU usage

RTX 3060 Ti with 8 GB memory - Prior to SU5 the Developer Mem Budget was always > 6 GB and MSI AfterBurner consistently showed more than 7 GB in use (GPU usage > 90% most of the time) while I was seeing about 29 - 32 FPS on my fixed test flight in coastal San Diego County and 19 - 22 FPS while landing at KSAN with LFVR KSAN installed.  Almost all settings are at Ultra with scaling set to 120. 

After SU5 & HotFix - Dev GPU Mem Budget is always less than 4.5 GB and AfterBurner confirms that is all the GPU memory used and GPU usage is never over 75%.  The framerate is always > 55 except when landing at KSAN it drops to 35 to 40 FPS.

i7-9700 with 32GB memory installed. Prior to SU5 that memory usage was always greater than 16 GB but now, after SU5, MOBO memory usage never exceeds 8 GB. 

CPU usage seems to be about the same before and after SU5 but Main Thread times have dropped from 16 to 18 ms down to 12 to 14 ms after SU5 was installed. 

My ULTRA clouds do not look as good (to my eye) after SU5 but the rest of the scenery looks better now and is certainly presented more smoothly.  

Overall - SU5 seems to be a big improvement in performance for me but I wonder what the lower GPU and MOBO memory usage mean?

OTOH - I have yet to complete a flight (several dozen tries) without a CTD or autopilot crash since the HotFix was installed.

G1000 and G3000 AP are totally unreliable.

DA62 throttle display is worthless - it shows 100% in the MFD display but the external view shows it to be 74%.

The G1000 AP flies along smoothly for long periods and then, if I try to rearrange the map display in the MFD, the AP puts the plane into a steep descending spiral. 

... and so it goes!

Please - Moderator, in my humble opinion, this is not a hardware topic. It is about how is the resource scheduling done in the software, and why isn't it using all the expensive resources?
