KMIA high VRAM usage

Post by bwbriscoe » Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:54 am

Hi...

Just booted up KMIA with the QW787 and was shocked to see it using 9GB of VRAM just sitting at the gate!

Is this normal? Is there anyway I can reduce this? Why is this airport particularly so bad? I'm almost scared to do anything in case I get a CTD.

Thanks

Ben

Hi I tired the non-PBR version but the JetBridges are in PBR, checking in SODE your folder name says PBR too. Any way to get these in a non PBR version. Fighting hi-VRAM issues

hi, what texture resolution are you using?
in p3dv5 if you use 4096 it will be a problem depending your system.

4096. But I don't feel that having to reduce texture size for the whole sim for KMIA as unreasonable.

because the way P3dv5 behaves, and the massive size of KMIA and the area of SoFla, even on very high end systems you might encounter problems.

Can someone pls comment on how the non-PBR version helps in regards to VRAM consumption?

thanks but I still have an issue with the non-pbr version having pbr jetbridges. I have disabled the city and surroundings and I am a loyal customer but find myself not able to fly out of KMIA. Any way we get non-pbr jetways for the non-pbr version?

I wanted to add a picture of what PBR looks like for me. I have no other sceneries with this issue.
