SU10 beta 1 and 2 were with VRAM optimization, which later was tuned down because of lower end cards. Then SU10 came out, waiting for the new Nvidia driver. So still no VRAM optimization I suppose. Now the new driver is there, it sounds logical that now the VRAM optimization has to be switched on? Anyway: for me DX12 is now with DLSS about same performance as DX11, that is good. But VRAM seems only still be used 50%. But have to test more.

All in VR G2 3090 btw.

UPDATE: I get VRAM 9GB of 24GB VRAM used with the PMDG B737 700 in Brussels EBBR. I would expect more VRAM usage. FPS there 23 fps with Motion Reprojection on. Smooth enough for takeoff and landing, stuttering when turning the plane on the apron.

BTW: my 2D is very smooth, I dont know 2D fps: if it is smooth then I am happy.

Odd...in my case that option couldn´t be unselected as it was greyed out! 

did you choose the "custom" install, called "experienced users" or something like that? Only then you can deselect GFX

DX12, DLSS Quality, Ultra everything, 3840 x 2160, V-Sync on in game, Frame Rate 50% of monitor. 

GPU mem peaked at 13.86 so far. 

GPU temp 68 degrees

Smooth, smooth, smooth! 

 

Similar settings, similar experience! Didn't install the Studio driver so this is a big step forward for me.

Fired the Fenix up at IniBuilds LHR with RealTraffic/PSXT, taxied around for 10 minutes - absolutely brilliant!

I still keep shaking my head in amazement every flight and I had the studio drivers from the start. It is truly incredible. Please Asobo don't mess this up in SU11.

This ground has been covered over and over again. Can we put that to bed right now? Nothing needs activated, install the driver and Vram memory management will automatically switch on for you. 

Has anybody noticed the inconsistency? 
This driver was to enable DX12 memory management to a better standard, and it is mentioned in the patch notes, but also this is from the Nvidia press release...

'Developer Asobo Studio has just launched Sim Update 10, with the integration of NVIDIA DLSS 2. To take full advantage of this technology, our new Game Ready Driver is a required update. So be sure to download and install before you taxi for take-off.'

So have they done more in the new game ready driver to help DLSS?  How can they?  It is working fine apart from the fuzzy flat screens which is down to Asobo to fix.

That is a good thing! See my last post (I edited and updated it). Maybe someone could tell under wich circumstances  about 24GB of VRAM is actually used?

EDIT: My bad, tested now with DX11 because of still stutters at Goodwood. Will try DX12 again at EBBR.

Thank you. Will switch from Studio and see if there is any difference. 

Did you test it already ?

I am also on the Studio Driver ….

What are you using for nvidia control panel settings?

Within 30 seconds. Hard to tell objectively if it is any different but it is at least as good.  

As for switching to the game ready driver from the studio driver, unless they really have done some more work to optimise DLSS in the game ready driver, then there will not be one iota of difference between them, and so no performance increases.

It has a different version number to the studio driver so hard to know if there were further tweaks but it is painless to try.

Trying out the latest drivers at the moment, but still getting dips here and there from 30 locked frames. With my system I should be seeing a constant 30 but for example in Boise with no Ai aircraft around before SU10 I was getting locked 30 perfectly...now if you see when I pan to the right I have no idea why my frames tank.  I have included all my settings with in the sim and Nvidia. My PC Specs are on my signature. Plus does anyone else get frame drops when you first load the plane and pan for the first time?

This new driver does not give an option to NOT install Geforce Experience. As I had never used it before, can anyone please recommend whether I should keep (and use) it?

Thanks 

Yes - it does give you the option.  It's the second screen of the installation once you've OK'd the T&Cs.  I always opt not to install the Geforce Experience...
