Dang. I don't know why perf varies so wildly user to user. I'm not running insane settings by any means. And if I run the same settings in SU4, in SU5, I get the constant resource message argh. I haven't used VR in SU5 much because perf sucks so bad for me. Oh well.

Sorry to disappoint you. I tried to have a bad experience but it just didn't happen. 😆 🤣 😂

  • I love it. It is like I just went to the optometrists! I can see palm trees as they should look, little or no melted buildings either. A huge improvement for me.

  • I've stopped trying to understand this bunch, their lacklustre attention to issues is something I just cannot fathom at all. Yet again they made a massive regression in SU5 with a bug for VR users, th

  • Friendly reminder to update your DLSS files after the MSFS update.

Generally good performance for me in VR on a 5080 and 9800x3d. I'm definitely using pretty conservative settings compared to what my hardware can probably push...but I'd rather play it safe and stay stable on the frametimes, than try to squeeze out tiny bits eye candy I probably wouldn't even notice during flight.

Still though...the LA area is just kryptonite for me. Doesn't matter how far a lower my settings...frametimes are through the roof. It's strange that it really only happens here. NYC, London, Tokyo, etc.... are all fine.

For me what I ran in su4 vs now hasnt changed. The vram consumption sadly that went way up. But I also ran high textures and mostly high sliders...a few things on medium and clouds on ultra. In VR I ran a lot lower settings even in su4.

I dread even the THOUGHT of my 4090 dying. If that happens, I may need to sell a kidney or something to at least get 24GB vram.

Hopefully the next gen of cards will feature just a little more baseline vram.

If I were you I'd run 1440p aka 2K if you aren't already.
