It's gonna be so painful for you to return to older lower end cards, after experiencing 60+ fps at 4k 😅

Another great video the only KZbinr I'll watch when it comes to gpu testing been watching for ages now and it's good to see how far you've come 👍🏻

[@DrearierSpider1]

When you turned on frame generation at native 8K, it looks like your VRAM was maxed out. I wonder if that feature uses more VRAM to store the AI generated frames. Not a scenario you'll run into a lot on a 24GB card, but in crazy zWORMz tests...

[@odgamerout6698]

It also did that in his spiderman video

[@arnav77]

Yes it went from 10.7gb to 12.6 when he enabled frame generation at 4k as well

[@barath4545]

I saw another test on YT, where 8k FS2020 at 4090 was using 19.3 GB vram, so it must be something special that uses those last 5GB or it could be when its heavy hand-crafted stuff in FS2020 only or so?

[@Moody_Incorporated]

Yes it's using vRAM to generate those frames not even RAM RAM is fast enough. This is why the 4090 uses a good 30% extra watts too to generate those frames.

[@avfx111]

​​​@@arnav77framegen is pixel sensitive, quadruple the resolution, quadruple the load on the ofas and quadruple the memory load. Unlike most features, framegen's resolution vs load graph is linear. So if you were getting 6gb+500mb extra (for framegen on 1080p), it will use 4x the vram(500×4=2gb more) at 4k and similarly 8gb more at 8k

[@dtrjones]

The 16K test was interesting. One way of removing the CPU bottleneck in this game! Interestingly though if you could have reduced the VRAM further you might have had smoother frames. So serious GPU cards running 16K might actually be ok with double the RAM say 48GB. The 8K tests are really good. This is a bonafide 8K card for sure and that also bodes well for true 4K per eye displays in VR as well when they arrive.

[@GeekOfAllness]

If you're playing cartoon graphics, 2x 4k is probably fine on a headset, but I don't think you'd want that on something like Flight Sim. 4k was only getting like 80 fps, with 8k at 30 fps, and you really want something like 90 fps minimum for stereo and/or head-mounted displays. Unless they get frame interpolation working better, or you turn the settings way down, you're probably not hitting a solid 90+ fps at 2x 4k on nicer-looking titles. Anything with strobing backlight starts giving me a headache under 80-90 hz, made worse with side panels or a dark room, and anything without strobing backlight has much worse motion blur when tracking an object across the screen. These problems exist on standard, monoscopic displays, but because it's not so in-your-face, it's less jarring on the brain. Once you get screens that start filling up most of your vision, it becomes more important to get fluid motion. What really makes it bad is when you start twisting your head and the in-game visuals lag behind. It might not be a problem for some people, but other people get really motion sick when their brain can't interpret the latency issues with what it thinks should be happening the instant their head starts moving. Also, be aware that frame interpolation increases latency in its current implementation, so you actually get more latency with it on than off, despite the apparent framerate increase. Extra frames might help if the issue is flickering from low refresh or issues with duplicated frames with a forced higher refresh. But they might make it worse if the issue is motion sickness from latency.

[@BlueDrew10]

@@GeekOfAllness For better or worse, VR headsets still seem mostly like early adopter products, so maybe they'll hit their stride around the same time computers have the processing power to run fully fledged VR in like 4-6 years.

[@gamerhemanth2369]

And i think FG only works in cpu bottleneck scenarios since u were in 8K and almost pegged at 100% GPU usage so the FG didn't do anything

[@Anthonyg5005]

Crazy to see really good real-time ai interpolation used in games. The only time I've messed around with this type of technology is when adding more frames to videos with ffmpeg's minterpolate on some old phones and spacewarp on quest

[@totemic3239]

when u use frame generation at 8K, you were limited by the vram, thats why it was stuttering and had high latency

glad you got a 4090. Best reviewer there is by far. Nobody else does what you do keep it up and heres hope that AMD send you their new cards to test.

[@flamermine3168]

I don't know if for you its worth investing in this, however there is an addon called the Fenix A320. That addon is probably the most intensive addon in the game and can take away about 20 fps. The only thing is it costs £50. If you don't want to pay that much there is a free but less intensive addon called the fly by wire airbus A320nx. I certainly think you should at least get the a32nx.

[@alexandre7pin]

I’ve noticed with 2 side 1440p monitors and a middle 4k monitor, windows will use 3 GB of VRAM of my 3070 💀 but I planned on playing mostly older games so it hasn’t been too big of an issue except cyberpunk and spider man

[@hariskhan01]

You must be having an awesome time with this big boi😂, btw I noticed that the VRAM usage was doubled from 4K Ultra (no TAA, DLSS, or FG) to 8K Ultra (no TAA, DLSS, or FG), so we would need a 48GB card to run 16K Ultra! Not that it really matters though, but knowing a time might come when 4K or even 8K is the standard for low-end is just crazy.

[@DrearierSpider1]

I believe some of Nvidia's professional level cards have 48GB frame buffers. But they cost 1000's of dollars and the drivers aren't optimized/designed for gaming.

Question for everyone here !! Is it worth upgrading to the RTX 4090 spend about 2k in the GPU and Water block and power supply cable etc.. Having a Dark Hero VIII Motherboard AM4 with 5950X.. Or for the same 2k. Get the liquid Devil 7900 XTX water-cooled with the 5800X3D? I am debating whether the upgrade will be significant or not because of two things. Platform AM4 and the CPU. and do not want to throw 6 to 8k in another whole new system ?

I had to undervolt my 12900k because it was running hot with decent liquid cooling. Now, it peaks at 82 only for a second on initial loading and sits in the 55 to 75 range the rest of the time. Stable with only 2-3% loss of performance.

Considering most people played the early flight simulators games for DOS in the 20 to 30 fps range back in the 1990's, you could call the 8K native results playable for this genre. No way that's how I'd choose to play it over 4K or 8K with DLSS, but certainly "playable" if you want to go that route.

[@archvile1313]

Ok that's it, I think this sim needs the least 4070 to cap 60 fps at ultra 1080p or 2k along with 5800X3D or better. Just the temp on the CPU is worrying me. But 4070 is the performance of 3080-90 ti?

interesting, but with a light aircraft (small) and with the detail levels at 100 or 200, it is much easier for the hardware, but with these details at 400 (maximum) and with a heavier aircraft, like a PMDG or fenix , it would be more complicated for the PC to support.

You're internet is not the problem. If you're talking about flight simulator, than it could be that your I9 9900K is not fast enough for your 4090.
