RayTraced Shadows 2024 Y/N

I estimate VRAM consumption less by 10% and fps higher (~15%) with Raytraced Shadows OFF (10700K with 3080 on 3440x1440). From the cockpit, shadows seems more jaggy and less sharp than with Raytraced shadows ON. 

I don't have any numbers right now, but after testing with/without it quickly decided to disable RT shadows. I've got shadows set to 6144 too and I'm happy with that.

  • I love having them on.  I don't miss the jaggy shadows from 2020.

    On equals pin sharp shadows in the cockpit, off equals soft and aliased shadows.  You must be able to see a difference!

    It is the main culprit on the VRAM BUG. Thus, I have had to turn it off.

Piett,

Does this number affect shadows outside the cockpit? Or like raytracing, just inside the cockpit?

From what I've seen, it seems to be inside the cockpit only.

Testing ray traced shadows with my new 7900xtx. In the fenix, I’m getting a weird flickering on the forward panel. Goes away when I turn off ray traced shadows. Any suggestions to improve this?

Yes, don't turn it back on again.
