Zachiii Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Any info on FSX benefit from NVidia's pascal architecture video cards to be released starting next year?

evm Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 As nobody was able to do a benchmark yet, one can only speculate... So here goes: these things will be built with DX12 and Windows 10 in mind. If push comes to shove it may happen that FSX does not work at all, or only very badly. Or the 3D graphics module in FSX runs even better and the GPU is running cooler. It is already quite hard to max out current GPUs with FSX, so if the new tech is more efficient still, it may only need 50% of it's power. Then again, more people will probably be on 4K or worse, and maybe the new cards will implement more efficient scaling, who knows. Maybe more "real 3D" stuff for contraptions like the oculus.

BS616 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'd think if it helps anything it will be in pushing higher FPS for VR. Personally I wouldn't jump on the first Pascal cards though as I suspect they are going to be rather bleeding edge...I'm surprised at the number of problems my 980ti has (compared to my 770's) and it's pretty much at the end of its generation. The generation after Pascal (forgot what they are calling it now) looks to be very interesting and maybe by then P3D or someone will be using DX12 and be 64 bit.
