Update 1.12.13.0 has been an FPS killer

Did some testing @Aerosoft EDDK and some other scenarios. GPU is using only about 30 to 60%, lowering graphics, changing Nvidia Settings, etc. doesn´t help. It seems, that something is blocking the GPU usage. Ofc, there is the “Limited by Main thread” thing, which is still one blocking factor. I can use the settings preset “Low” and I am still sitting at 25 to 30 FPS. VRAM is used at max. 8GB.

The micro stutters also increased and they are getting longer and more noticeable. Pre update, I hadn´t that much more FPS (about 5+), but the micro stutters were much better. When moving around the cockpit, you can feel camera stutters aswell.

Testing System:

  • Ryzen 7 3800X
  • GigaByte Eagle RTX 3080 OC
  • 32 GB RAM / 3200 MHz

Testing Factors:

  • EDDK Aerosoft
  • FBW A320
  • KI traffic
  • Live Weather




Somebody mentioned above, that turning off the VFR map in the HUD brings FPS. That’s true, I gained
about 2 or 3 FPS, but only when standing still on the ground. As soon as the aircraft starts, the same conditions occur like written above.
