October 20, 20223 yr Any idea why the fps counter thing shows less than 11GB of vram that my 1080 Ti actually has?

October 21, 20223 yr I seem to remember the same issues in P3Dv5 once we actually had opportunities to max out our VRAM! I can't remember the technical explanation/reason (might not have fully understood it in the first place lol) but I do seem to recall there was a bit of the VRAM that wouldn't be used. I'm sure someone smarter than me can explain better!

October 21, 20223 yr Author Ok bummer hehe... switching to DX12 definitly makes my 1080 ti suffer. Need that 4080 lol! Or maybe just a 3080 Ti (to maintain this visual quality - before the naysayers say you only a GTX 970 whilst running low settings at 1080P) Edited October 21, 20223 yr by ryanbatc | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
October 21, 20223 yr Yeah I remember having the same thought on my 2080ti, too bad it wouldn't use the full 11GB. Looking forward to a 4080 here too.

October 21, 20223 yr Same on my 2080 Ti Edited October 21, 20223 yr by styckx ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING / i9-9900k @ 4.7 all cores w/ NOCTUA NH-D15S / 2080ti / 32GB G.Skill 3200 RIPJAWS / 1TB Evo SSD / 500GB Evo SSD / 2x 3TB HDD / CORSAIR CRYSTAL 570X / IPSG 850W 80+ PLATINUM / Dual 4k Monitors
October 21, 20223 yr The first number is memory currently "used" by MSFS . The second number is memory "allocated" to MSFS by Windows and is the total available for use by the game. Neither number shows the total memory available to the system as a whole. The game only knows about the graphics memory allocated for it's use. Edited October 21, 20223 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick
October 21, 20223 yr P3D would give you a OOM (Out of memory) and CTD when nearing vram limits in laymans terms. This maybe a way to stop it happening maybe. Common for the FSX early P3D days. Edited October 21, 20223 yr by 40track
