I’m still confused about how the sim uses (and even identifies) different RAM.
- I (think I) know that an Xbox, with its Unified Memory architecture, shares RAM dynamically between CPU and GPU.
- I (think I) know that a using DX11 a PC uses much slower DRAM when it runs out of VRAM.
- I (think I) know that properly coded DX12 programming should dynamically adjust graphical data usage as VRAM approaches its limit, never allowing 100% available VRAM usage.
I can see here that ‘AllocatedMem’ = ‘PhysicalMem’ + ‘SwapFile’.
But what is ‘SwapFile’ usage?
It’s not RAM that’s needed to augment VRAM (I have 24GB and I’m using 8GB.)
It’s not a pagefile - there’s no need for anything (except for some core Windows files) to be swapping to disk with 64GB DRAM.
Is it the Rolling Cache? Some other cache?
There has been some discussion about this on the forum. I’m not sure we know exactly.
Hi, I’m also planning to buy a 5060TI. I’d like to know how many FPS it gets at 4K, 4X frame rate.

I know you weren’t specifically asking me that question, but I’m going to chime in anyway.
It is impossible to predict how many FPS you will get without knowing all your computer specs, all your graphics options settings, all the 3rd party mods you are running, which aircraft you are flying in what area, the speed and stability of your internet connection at any given moment, and the current status of any Azure server you are connected to, as well as what your current FPS range is with your current configuration.
Even then your expected performance in any given flight is a guessing game. In other words, if you are getting ‘X’ number of FPS with your current configuration, and you change one (and only one) thing in your configuration (like upgrading to a 5060 Ti) you could come up with a range of expected performance increase compared to your previous GPU.
For example, I’ve done dozens of CapFrameX tests on my system (specs in my profile) changing one variable at time. Even when I repeat the test with every variable within my control unchanged, I’ve seen 10-20% variability in my FPS. If however, I were to upgrade my 3090 Ti to a 5080 I would expect a median 10-25% increase in FPS at 4K.
Sorry to be blunt, but asking “What FPS would I get if…” is simply an unanswerable question, except perhaps by someone with exactly the same setup, flying the exact same flight, at the exact same time.
Okay, thank you for your reply.
One thing to consider on top of @BegottenPoet228 feedback is that the 5060 is not really a gpu that you would use for 4k gaming. It’s targeted more for 1080p/2k resolutions.

Good point, @WingWarper. And honestly, unless sitting close to a really big monitor, there’s not a big difference in how good 2K looks compared to 4K.
