From a performance pov I carefully checked before and after, and it is about the same for me. The problem is that scenery load time is up big time: whenever I switch scenery location, it takes from 2 to 3 times what it required in Catalina. Btw, I’m not talking about the first load of the app, I’m talking about loading XP and switching scenery moving to other airports while in XP.

The stutters come from having to draw frames using _geometry_ that is in system memory, not VRAM. DLSS and RTX IO are of no use for this case.

People comment on this blog with lots of questions about the alphabet soup of extensions that the IHVs come up with, so I want to be clear about what will and won’t actually make a difference for the real experience in X-Plane.

VRAM / stuttering issues when there is max objects / load on the GPU. Need RTX IO plus DLSS etc for better performance. I’m sure JustSid can agree!

Ha…the very first product I worked on over twenty years ago had that capability – wasn’t in the computer graphics space, it was a custom board and we thought it was very exotic (and we charged a ton of money for it). Nothing is new in tech under the sun.

But..what problem do you think this solves for X-Plane, exactly?

Checkout RTX IO, skips the whole system memory deal. Straight from hard disk to VRAM. No more excuses for VRAM and bad performance with XP, period.

There was a LUA script (LFD’s Auto View Distance) that was making the excessive stuttering. I have removed it for now. The stuttering is less noticeable, but there are still some micro stutters when changing views.

I just sent in a bug report to you guys as I am also having this issue. Thanks so much for being on top of it, very excited to use the G2 in XPlane!

Please file a bug. We have a build + instructions to get more diagnostics on this controller we can send you.
