Microsoft says DirectStorage can reduce your CPU usage 40%

LOL....it seems in this current world, being reactive vs proactive is standard policy.  The world has gotten lazy IMO and it seems that every aspect of life, you have administrations, companies and "leaders" waiting for things to happen before reacting to them, vs being one step ahead of everyone else.

"Didn't see it coming" is never a sentence you want coming out of "leaders" mouths.  🤔

While I'd agree there is truth in this, I think its also fair to point out that the pace of change in general is orders of magnitude faster than any previous generation needed to deal with.  Those of the "Greatest Generation" didnt have completely new technologies appearing every year at the frequency we do today,

I'd be willing to bet that despite even the best intentions to do otherwise, "Didn't see it coming" is a phrase that will be with us more often than we would like.  The best educational skills we can hope to instil in new students is the ability to be adaptable and respond to things that didnt exist when they started their careers.

Can't see DirectStorage doing anything meaningful for MSFS.  If you look at CPU utilization for I/O on current fast NVMe drives it's next to nothing already.

I have MSFS on a current NVMe SSD and while CPU usage may be low, it still takes quite some time to start up initially. Certainly longer than P3D or any other game I've ever played.

Sure, and someone's conjecture that it might simply leave MSFS in a powered wait state could change that dramatically.  But during flight, I don't see much potential there.  I wish there was as the CPU is my weakest component right now.

I got exactly 1.2769 more FPS using this tweak!

Did you use the 2X parameter?  I did, and now get 2.5538 more FPS!  Oh, wait a minute I vsync at 30fps.  Never mind 😉

AMD FSR was also asked about recently.

Well we have FSR, unless I misunderstood your meaning

Sounds intriguing but intuitively it looks like a whole rewrite of the graphics code management so pretty amazing if it can somehow make that drastic of a processing change w/o needing to change the software its involved with.

Built into the sim options menu is what was asked about I assume.

Intel Core i5-12600k, Nvidia RTX 4070 Super, 128 Gigs.

NVMe needs to be supported ASAP!

Any news in this?

Asobo knows their fair share about optimizing for solid state devices because they make games for Xbox and especially for the PS5 which is an I/O monster.
