STREAM REPLAY: Sim Update 10 Beta - DLSS, NXi updates, new VFR map - Microsoft Flight Simulator - YouTube

How this changed I have no idea, I

Maybe that’s the AI part of DLSS and we just need to use DLSS more than just once or twice so AI learns more and better how to improve the picture? 

Tested a bit around with DLSS again. In the Milviz C310R the blurry displays are not a problem, because the GPS is still readable and the other gauges are fine. Trees have some artifacts from higher up. However I throttled my framerate to 24 in SteamVR before and now managed to increase that to 36, which is a lot smoother. Didn't go higher yet and I'm just doin a longer flight to see how it goes...but that is nice. Might even be worth the blurry displays in the Fenix. But no sure yet.

As far as I understand it DLSS gets trained before it gets implemented. I doubt anything we do will influence it. No idea if Microsoft can do much about how it works. They can give feedback to Nvidia for sure however and they can then improve it. I bet Nvidia is also very interested in the Data from a flightsim because that is way more complex then any game that used it yet. 
Apart form the blurry displays, trees seem to be pretty hard for it when they are far away, which doesn't surprise me at all.

Let me know. I am set to 40 fps in rivatuner and Fenix glass is still blurry. Set DLSS to quality and it seemed to be bit crisper. But still not fully sharp. Plus, all „moving numbers“ are tearing, eg when dialing the altitude or also when descending the altitude on the PFD…

I wonder if the OS makes a difference as to whether folks are seeing an improvement with DX12 vs DX11.  @Seth2021, @Ianrivaldosmith, are you guys on Windows 10 or 11?

windows 10 here, should i upgrade to 11 for DX12? 

Loving this update.   High settings, DX12, DLSS (quality), my 3080 is rarely above 20% (on a 1080p monitor).   Big difference for me is that the shimmering is gone, which was driving me nuts.  My 8700k @ 5GHz is betwen 50-70%.

CTD due to the AIG FAIB issue, but did the workaound and it works a treat  (would be great if MSFS would capture this issue rather than CTD).   Currently flyng YPAD to YMML in the Fenix and having a ball.

 

Cheers.

Didn’t know that DX12 is only available with 11 but regardless since I switched to 11 quite some time ago I have the best PC experience ever since MS95 or so. Rock stable. Good performance. I would not hesitate one second to go to 11

Are glass instruments like PFD or MCDU crisp and readable in wide view without zooming in on them?

DX12 works great with windows 10, i just asked if windows 11 is better optimized for dx12.

Depends at what zoom level we mean.

 

I tried to upload a pic of my monitor in flight using my phone, but it degraded the pic too much that it didn't do justice.   It's a hard question to answer.   I'm very happy (and excited) with it, but other people may not.

Cheers.

My quick findings...

DLSS is very good.  I run at 4k at mainly ultra settings, and I am now holding 60 FPS at only 75-80% GPU utilisation (3080Ti default profile). 
Smooth everywhere, but I would except maybe big cities like London etc., where I haven't tried it yet.  I would expect a performance hit there.

Alternatively, I find that running at 30 FPS, the GPU runs cool at 40% utilisation (great for the summer!) and the fans are quiet - mad! 

I am not noticing much difference performance or otherwise with DX12, so it is back to DX11 for me due to add-on compatibility issues.

The only downside is that DLSS on quality is still slightly blurry on things like the G1000NXi, but you can't always expect something for nothing - there normally have to be some compromises.  Cockpit and scenery was fine though.  
For now I will stick with DLSS and see if I can tweak things in a bit, or hopefully it will learn and improve as some people are mentioning.  Alternatively, I may just have to get used to it, as I prefer a cooler room this time of year!  

PS. Just a note.  I reactivated sharpening in the user.cfg.  It only helped the G1000 slightly, but it made the scenery / trees look over-sharpened again.  However, I found some nice new config options in the file, including a sharpening level.  I might try it at 50%.

So up to now, I would certainly class it as a good update, and no CTD's on DX11 yet with all of my add-ons.  I also found gusts to be better (more natural maybe?) 
On top of this, I can't wait for the 40th anniversary edition with the new aircraft, and of course, some additional stuff still not mentioned by Asobo yet.

Just a quicky for those suffering from vram exhaustion in certain situation with DX12...      Try Ultra Low Latency mode in your NV control panel.    This used to result in slightly less smooth panning previously so I had gone back to setting this to Off, but it's working well again on my machine. No noticeable loss of smoothness and a large reduction in vram use.

 

EDIT:  Seems like you can ignore this tip for DX12... not sure what's skewed my results, but apparently LLM has no effect on DX12.

So far I've only watched the beginning and I doubt that performance will be so much better with the new nVidia AA feature. My card (Titan X Pascal) probably doesn't even support it. TAA & DX12 will be my initial test and I'll probably stick with DX 11 to avoid VRAM CTDs.

Update: I like what I'm seeing with the clouds. More of a vertical component and some variation. I even see multi level clouds. Looking good.

Last Update: I like the weather radar support.

The VFR map seems like a good idea if it can be moved to my tablet. That's a feature that will be disabled because it probably eats up fps and I don't need it. I use Flt Plan Go in the US and I get all the info on my external tablet.

I'm not fond of blurry gauges so, I'll stick with TAA.

Did I miss anything?

So meanwhile I found out that “Low Latency Mode” does not have any effect in DX12 or Vulkan. In DirectX 12 and Vulkan, the engine decides when to queue the frame and the NVIDIA graphics drivers have no control over this.
