Nvidia 2080 series announced

Well that's pretty conclusive, iRacing is not CPU bound (at least not in single player)

Hey Noor, I tried those settings and I used to have power management set to performance but it wasn’t set that way so I turned that back on. Not any real difference that I could tell. VR pre-rendered frames turned things into a stuttery mess and frame times went up around 16+ ms.

I’m going to stay on the lookout for ways to get my frame times down but reprojection isn’t all that bad and is how things have been since I gave up on FlyInside (which also reprojects - just very well) with the Pro. Hopefully P3D will up their game.

So I went the other way and turned some settings up. As long as I’m missing frames they might as well be pretty. I turned on cloud shadows and upped the scenery detail texture resolution and the card plows right through it. Went for a test flight and was blown away with watching the cloud shadows slowly drift across the terrain, having the light go bright and dim on my wings and in the cockpit, etc.

I think P3D is just what it is right now unless I want to gut it. In P3D I do sightseeing kinds of flights so there aren’t lots of fast head movements to really expose that it’s in reprojection.

Was about to post that same video link. I definitely saw smoother in PCars2.

The 20 series do definitely perform well. I think they will perform even better as software gets optimized.

Added to clarify: I was just hoping to get out of reprojection on P3D, but for the settings near to what I like to run, that seems like a bridge too far at least for now. It still feels better and I do now have the headroom where I can turn up other things I’ve been holding back on to make the experience even better. P3D is my go-to sim. DCS is similar in many ways especially near cities but not as much as P3D.

Flight sims may be the worst since the views have so much more to draw in them and there is so much variability between population centers and open landscapes. Racing sims are much more limited in what needs to be drawn.

I was just hoping for the kind of results the guy in the video and I saw in racing sims to be in flight sims. There is some for sure. Just not quite enough yet. But PCars2 was solid in 90 FPS for me and very smooth at the settings I was running before.
