John Dow Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 My system dates from 2015, a very low to mid range cpu these days. I've been getting reasonable performance at 4K with a 2yo GTX 1080 at High End settings with a few settings dropped a bit. Today I bought a 1080 ti and installed it to replace the 1080. Oh man what a difference! As I thought, MSFS seems to still be essentially a single core program, which means my 6+ yo i7-4790k CPU is still worth hanging on to. Here are my figures, identical settings and saved flights to ensure accurate test. First figure is fps fpr the 1080, second is fps for 1080ti. YMBT Mount Beauty. Runway start: 17, 26 Climb out: 23-27, 40-42 1080 turn back to town: 21, 35 YSSY Sydney Airport 34L Runway start : 12, 24 Climb out: 11-13, 35-36 Approaching CBD: 20-22, 40-42 Note that the Render Scaling was set to 80, which translates to approx 2560 x 1440 resolution into the video card, which was set to 4K resolution.

BradB Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Too bad you did not pick up two 1080 ti’s John , my twin Titans (16GB) run MSFS very smoothly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder what the scaling did, my screen has that setting so should I run at 80% scaling?....still using my trusty old 1070.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two 1080s would cost 50% more than the 1080ti for probably no gain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Render Scaling simply reduces the apparent resolution that the MSFS coding has to deal with before it's sent to the GPU... I believe. So, if you have 2560 x 1440 as your video card resolution in the settings, then if you set the RS to 80%, your video card will be receiving a resolution of around 2048 x 1152, and yet as far as I can tell, the output you will see on the screen will be visually or apparently much closer to the 2560 res than the 2048 res. I don't have any actual knowledge of the way it's dealt with but I guess if you ran a couple of tests on the apparent resolution you'd see if it works for you.
