I went for the G1000 because with the Entegra the approach waypoints don't display right unless you use the RXP GPS, and the RXP GPS cannot be updated, and RXP has a history of abandoning their products
Thanks for that information, that helps. I was under the impression that VRAM is only limiting if it's all used, that clarifies. That said, I still think their may be some sort of issue with SMP, since it's resolved by reloading SMP graphics
I still get very low FPS that is relieved by forcing a graphics refresh from Skymaxx. I don't think it's related to VRAM usage, since it's not really correlated with VRAM usage. It's CPU thats the limiting factor, according to X Plane
Let me know what I should log to detect running out of memory in the future. I don't think this was running out of memory, since I have 32GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM. I'll try lowering the cloud draw area though.
So, upon experimenting with this for a bit and checking VRAM usage with GPU-Z, this is not caused by memory filling up. There appears to be no correlation between VRAM usage and FPS. FPS is limited by CPU frame time when this occurs
I'll check for that next time, thank you. Sounds like it's thrashing memory when it gets full. If this is the issue, is it possible to lower SMP cloud res?
This issue seems to be resolved, the frames still drop, but briefly and recover without me doing anything. Not sure if it's from lowering the draw distance or the 5.0.6 update
Strange, but hopefully reproduceable issue.
When I start descent from a cruise altitude, FPS drops to 19-20 and stuttery around ~25-26k feet. Changing the cloud draw distance (lowering or increasing) resolves this, and the FPS resumes a normal frame rate.
@Cameron I think you took my question a little too literally there. I wasn't asking "Is there news you had on this that you forgot to post?", I was asking "It's been a while since we've heard anything about these fairly large remaining bugs, is a fix forthcoming?".
@Goran_M Ok, thanks. Glad it's still being worked on.
