Hi, i can´t believe i dont find it with google, but:
I replaced my 4 GB GTX 980 with an 8 GB 1070 Ti.
Question: How do i teach P3D that there is a new GPU with doubled RAM?
Even at EDDF P3D wont use more than the 4 GB limit of the old GPU. All settings maxed out, with a 3840x2160 resolution, with ORBX Global, LC Europe and vector and REX HD Airports in a PMDG 737. Dedicated Vram used at 3.5-3.6 GB at rural environment, 3.9/4.0 at EDDF / Frankfurt City. Other users experience 6/7/8 GB at EDDF
For violating P3D i included the "TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=10" in the .cfg. Result: 5.7 GB dedicated VRAM used (Ups, more than 4?) , but also 3 GB shared video memory.
So i think P3D does not aknowledge the additional VRAM.
I remember that with a new installation there is a message like "At first time startup P3D will inspect your hardware and make some settings". How can i get P3D to do this again? Uninstalling and reinstalling the Client does not bring up this message again.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
