I would be very interested to know the difference in VRAM required between 4K and 1080p in Microsoft Flight Simulator (and also between DX11 and DX12). If my 6GB GTX 980Ti could not handle high levels of detail @ 1080p in DX11 mode, then I have a problem if I want to switch simulators.

In dx11 at 1080p you'll be fine.

The main issue is dx12.  It's totally unoptimized and is in beta for msfs.  People generally run dx12 when using a RTX40XX because of the benefits of frame generation.

Unfortunately the vram usage is very high in dx12.  Once your vram is used up the CPU starts to take the load and just can't keep up

So you got the wrong card, i think the 4090 do not have such problems ?

By the way, speaking for full 4k 3840x2160 px ..

But shure MSFS DX12 is a shame, can not understand why this is still a problem with MSFS to be on DX12, a bit of unbelivibel in my opinion !

cheers 😉

Ah yes... another small to mid size airport that already has a well done freeware and an excellent payware (orbx) offerings.  Yet the largest B class airport in the northern half of the US, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport - literally nothing, and I mean nothing.  Sorry guys, just an early morning rant, please excuse me and enjoy your day.

It was teased recently by Amsim

Hehe.  The 4090 was 1800 USD when I bought my 4080.  Just too much at the time for me for a video card.  Yes I agree the card probably would have been worth it but that's now imo.  The 4080 is still very powerful but imo if I'm having issues with 16GB vram, the issue is not on my end...it's a DX12/Asobo/ini issue.  Their stuff looks nice no doubt...but it's just textures galore and it quickly fills up vram.

Ditto…in retrospect I wish I had been more patient and waited for 4090’s to be more available rather than buying a 4080.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that 16gb of VRAM should be plenty…

Just to be clear though, I haven’t had any issues with this scenery, performance was great during my 737 departure today.

Oh, the aircraft fire trainer doesn't exist in the iniBuilds version. Do you remember the one in the Orbx scenery? 😉

Are we getting butter smooth performance  on this inibuilds scenery ?  I am just hesitant since I bought KJFK andi ts a complete slideshow!!

Sitting at the gate in the PMDG 737-900, with AIG traffic on, TLOD at 100 (my normal airliner setting) I’m seeing about 15gb of VRAM consumed in dx12.  Very smooth though, no stutters like LAX or JFK and about 80fps with frame generation on.

 

I think it looks fantastic and seems to be very well done overall.  Palm Springs is a beautiful airport to fly into and a nice short hop from Las Vegas, San Diego, or even Salt Lake City.  

I have no issues with the performance although I am running a 4090 card.

If using anything other than a 4090, stick with DX11 and it will be fine. Any iniBuilds scenery with DX12 and a 4080 or less will stutter bad due to VRAM exhaustion. I'm on a 4080 and went back to DX11. Even Frame Gen ain't worth DX12's issues.

I'm on a 3060Ti and this Inbuilds Scenery is silky smooth and highly detailed.  No issues here.

PSXTraffic version 3.9.1 contains the airport file for INIBUILDS Palm Springs with parked traffic data recorded by RealTraffic in the week from Oct 9 - Oct 15.

Enjoy!

Just did a flight with the PMDG 800 from KLAS, to KPSP, and inibuilds did something right!!  With my settings, on ULTRA and HIGH, fling into  runway 31L and parking at Gate 8,  product was completely butter smooth, not a stutter anywhere.  I guess inibuilds finally learned their lesson, make sure the product is optimized before releasing it  My recommendation is definitely go get it! and on sale for just $9.99.  Plus the senery is outstanding gorgeous.

Strange. I went shopping and see the price is $18.22 USD
