I actually went to the effort to turn down the render scaling from 100 back to 80 (GTX1080 @ 4K) and was actually surprised to see a noticeable bump in frames. A320 at JFK was up from maybe 19-22FPS in the cockpit (Screens on) to about 28-34FPS? I then loaded up at a very foggy Queenstown (NZQN) in the Cockpit and saw 34-38 (then locked it at 30FPS and it didn’t drop under)
I couldn’t really see much difference between 100 Render Scaling and 80… so seeing these videos of people testing the 3080 at 200 Render Scaling on 4K… and having sluggish performance at 4K really isn’t surprising me. Drop it back to 100 and leave everything else scaled up to give a better idea of what we’ll really see.
Additionally, As a bit of a shameless plug (Maybe a little bit of shame felt) - Please, if you haven’t already done so and are considering an RTX 30 series… Please go and smash the vote button in the DX12 thread.
If we can get DX12 implemented, along with other efficiencies - I’m sure we’ll all start seeing performance in the Sim we can all be happy with. (The efficiencies can come either way but if we stay on DX11 forever, there’s little chance of Ray Tracing or Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) further down the track)
Thanks everyone.
