graphics at max apart from clouds on High,

with a 3090? Just go Ultra.... 

After more flights with the PMDG B737 and the FBW A320, the DX12 and locked 30fps is the right solution for me, very smooth and much better colors and lights. Also, the over exposed lights are not a problem anymore. So the DX12 with TAA and last studio drivers work better on my rig (AMD 5800x + Asus TUF 3080). At the moment there isn't a real fps gain, but smoother and with better visuals than before with ultra settings @1080.

I'm trying SU 10 right now and I've lost about 15-20 fps with the same settings as before, I'm not happy.

I noticed the loading times seemed faster.  Initial start-up, and from map screen to flight.

What do you see is the advantage to locking your FPS?

So, now you’re unhappy because your gpu is doing as it was intended to do? Strange. Never understood this concept. 

Save it for someone else, champ.

You might want to consider underclocking your gpu, using something like MSI Afterburner.  I did and I now have much less heat (slower fans) with negligible performance loss.

Thanks.  I'll try to figure this out.  She's running hot for sure.

locking the fps at 50%, it's the only way at the moment to get an absolute fps smoothness.

I'll give it try - thanks!

No problems, champ. 

One thing to keep in mind with DX12. Even though it seems that optimizations are in place with the new studio driver, VRAM usage is higher in DX12. Exceeding VRAM usage could lead to a disappointing, stuttery (not sure that’s a real word) experience, as RAM is being used, with much lower latency. This could also explain why people with different systems have different experiences using DX12, even with the new driver.

Quote

People should be aware though that DX12 + the new memory optimizations will use a lot more VRAM. If you’re already near max capacity of VRAM using DX11, you might want to think otherwise about using DX12. Conversely, you can also reduce texture quality by one level to reduce VRAM consumption.

Stress release off the system trying to achieve more frames is my guess.

Right - I remember with sims in the past reading that it could be better to lock the sim rate so that the PC would not be working to achieve an "unlimited" rate while lowering image quality. I'm not sure if that is how it really worked in the past or if that is the case now.

My GPU sounds like it's about to explode!!  I was very happy before the update. 

You might try Vsync to 1/2 of a 60Hz rate, or 30FPS. You and I have the same box but my GPU is at 40% utilization right now (up to 58% or so at KSFO in the 738) with a temp of 68C.

Hmmm let see....

My loading times were cut in half, i'm at the main menu screen in under a minute.

VR performance headroom was increased to where I can now push 100 TAA with more ultra settings.

This is the most beautiful impressive VR optimized sim I've ever experienced thanks to SU10.

I'm absolutely amazed my old 1080ti/8700k setup can run this butter smooth in VR and there is no need for me to use ASW nor reprojection mode.

I even threw on Nvidia Shadowplay background recording to see if it would slow me down or introduce stutter.

Nope I can fly and record in VR without any performance issues.

Hello??? When have we ever been able to run ultra clouds and other eye candy in Flyinside FSX/P3D VR??

This is absolutely amazing!!!😁
