Limited By GPU

Hello everyone. I’m wondering why my dev mode says Limited by GPU? Is this bad over long haul flights? I might do two or three of them a week. Will this kill my 3080?

You are fine. You want to be limited by GPU. It just means the GPU is working harder than the CPU.

What you ideally want is a balance between the gpu & cpu which means the cpu time to process a frame is close to the time for the gpu to process the frame. See my screen shot below where my cpu/gpu processing times are within a millisecond of each other.

When I get closer to the ground I’m typically a little mainthread (cpu) limited with processing detailed airports and scenery. When I’m 5000-7000 ft or higher, I’m typically a little gpu limited as the scenery is less taxing on the cpu at altitude.

You should have HAGS and Game mode on, and you will benefit from enabling Nvidia Reflex set to On+Boost.
I have a 3080Ti with the i7-11700K. I find Texture Resolution = LOW is a nice boost.

I got a stable 40 fps with TAA At Tokyo Haneda airport. I will look into your suggestions though. Thanks
