Nice - but your there’s no getting around the fact that your CPU is a major limiting factor. The only thing I can come up with is ensuring you use DX12 as that puts more emphasis on the GPU than the CPU. Faling that I can potentially help another way that I’d rather PM you about (will do now).
Did you get that A6000 in a bargain sale? Or are you repurposing it from a CAD workstation maybe? Because VRAM isn’t everything.
My 3090 Ti has 24GB and I never come close to maxing it out.
They have a few extra cards and this was the one that would swap in before I change PCUs. Basically they have a NVIDIA and Radeon card from each generation. Most going unused at any given time.
My PC has been running a GTX 1080 and it is brilliant for that card. Like both perform better than they should because they work in such harmony.
So yeah, the trick has been to slow down the A6000 so it limits the FPS, not the CPU. And with a CPU this slow, that has been tricky.
Yes. And it is so odd. Not a gaming driver at all.
This card is total overkill. It is hilarious. Not for gaming at all but it sure games. But it is no 4090 or 4080 for that matter. Only 3000 series features.
One thing is it is a beautiful card. Both in the hands and in the PC. It does look expensive.
And it breaks some of my diagnostic tools because they aren’t made to read cards like this. It often shows up as having 100% overhead available!
Increasing render scaling and every other setting besides object LOD and terrain LOD
Running FSR3 mod to double framerate (this is actually quite VRAM intensive, especially at higher resolutions)
Overclocking the RAM and CPU to make them run as fast as possible. I think on my old i7 6700 setup, I got around a ~30% boost by overclocking ram and overclocking the CPU. On my current 9900k setup, I got around a ~20% boost by overclocking RAM and CPU.
48gb of VRAM is also a great peace of mind thing, you’ll always know you’ll never be limited by VRAM capacity. You won’t have to worry about sceneries or liveries being too high resolution for your graphics card. This is another ‘feature’, though it might not be apparent at first.
