I’ve just tried CdG around the “Camembert” at night, Live Traffic + Multi Players, Scattered Clouds Preset.
However I didn’t want to disable the EFIS refresh rate fix (I’m using 25Hz variant).
Settings: 200 Terrain LOD, and the other settings “optimized” for best FPS and no visual compromise (I’ll post in a few days some of my findings but if you look up some of my posts you’ll find some comments in the last few days already).
Hardware: 9700K@3.6 + 2070S (no CPU and no GPU OC for this test).
Initially in 4K around 30 fps:
Then trying zoom in/out and move around and every time the 2nd tower was in view, FPS were going down around 24 fps:
I’ve then opened the settings to change resolution to 1920x1080 but as soon as the settings tiles were displaying the fps dipped around 10 fps and stayed there once the settings tiles were closed:
From there I’ve tried “forcing” the renderer to reset in changing some of the AA options and it finally came back to around 32 fps in 1080p. Unfortunately it is only after exiting the simulator to write this down I’ve find out the screenshot was not saved.
When trying to set the resolution back to 4K the fps again dipped to around 10 fps but this time I decided to let it go and after a short while it went back to the 30 fps I’ve initially had.
With my settings I can run 4K and 200 LOD and average 50 fps around the world in various areas, and closer to 40 fps in denser areas usually.
Here are my settings in detail (NB: for the CdG test I’ve reduced TAA to 70% instead of the 80% shown in the post):
[update] HWINFO64 is reporting when FS2020 is running: (compared to @fulatoro’s system):
The CPUs are nearly the same (cache, features etc…)
GPU clock ~1905 Memory clock ~7000 Video clock ~1770
Win10 1909 (not 2004) and an older NVidia driver 446.14
I might switch to 2004 and latest NVidia though because I can see I have less VRam available in 1909!
[update2] @fulorato: did you run with synthetic terrain / autogen or Bing data? I find it peculiar you’re using so much less RAM in your screenshots compared to mines, even when I’m running at 1080p?!?
