Stutters and freezes with latest update with HDR.

After latest update I experience heavy stuttering and freezes with HDR on. As soon as I disable SkyMaxx Pro simulator runs fluid again.

Sounds like you might be running out of memory; most likely video memory if HDR is what pushes it over the edge. You'll have to disable some graphics options, or reduce SkyMaxx Pro's cloud draw area setting to get things within the bounds of your system.

hmm was not a problem. I have 11gb vram and 32gb ram. This is rc1 best see what happens when stable version arrives.

 

Update: HD cloud puffs absolutely kill the GPU.

Honestly, even with a beefy system you can run out of memory if you turn up enough settings and install enough add-ons. At least try reducing your settings and see if it helps. There is nothing particularly intensive on the GPU about "HD puffs" except that they consume a bit more memory - which is consistent with the theory that you're running out of it.

weird, I'm only using less than half of available vram. As soon as I switch to HD puffs the GPU goes from 60% to 100%.
