Low power mode

[lc4c]

Even when using the low power mode option my RTX 4080 based system uses constantly about 230 and sometimes more Watts when not flying and displaying the menu.
I am using the latest Nvidia driver, dx 12 and dlss 3 with frame generation on. Any hints are welcome.

Is VSync on?

Electricity usage PC and Xbox

So far I’ve found no useful data on electricity consumption for MSFS on either platform. Given the way power prices have shot up in much of the world, this is something to consider. Where I live prices are very near A$0.50 per kWh so if a PC was burning 1000W then that’s 50c per hour and could add up fast. Trying to guess actual power usage from component ratings is a waste of time because it really depends on what is running. Having access to both PC and Xbox I decided to make some measuremen…

No it´s off. I will give VSync a try. Thanks for your hint.

I try to use different vsync option in the game (not in the NCP) but I do not see any difference in power consumption when in the menu. (Frame Generation in on). Any hints?

Just a quick note. When adding an additional Program like edge or just an explorer window on my second screen the power consumption decreases by the factor of 4 without any issues for MSFS.
