I’m changing my opinion after the tests I ran, which I’ve posted below.
I think these tests prove you are correct!
I set my resolution to 1080p for both monitors in the nVCP, and changed all my other sim graphics settings to exactly match the ‘CPU Bottlenecked’ settings in this excellent thread post by @TheOriginalBabu. Thanks for this!
I loaded the Bonanza G26 Improvement Project, and flew the same route over rural Illinois, changing some of my system setup each time. The changes are detailed in the picture.
It’s pretty clear that the X3D chiplet is being used when not GPU bottlenecked. Also, that Process Lasso is a great fit for these X3D CPU’s.
177 FPS / 5.9 ms w/o frame gen is nothing to sneeze at, even if it is only 1080p.
1% lows are impressive as well.
I agree with your conclusion: The GPU, and the resolution, are really big factors on how well this sim runs.
@MrFuzzy1337 Thanks for leading me to this test!
Just for grins, here’s the performance with what I consider to be optimized 4K settings for my system.
