FG using 90%+ on 3600X, GTX1060, 64GB RAM... ? Multiccore ?

[Curious]

Hi Curious,

One of FlightGears less well-known features is its excellent support for multiple graphics cards and monitors. If you install _additional_ graphics cards you should see better performance on a multi-screen setup, though it may take a bit of setting up and configuration. Isaak had a monster machine at FSWeekend 2018 which I think was running 4 graphics cards, each with one or two displays attached.

I'm not sure if you'd see substantial improvements if _replace_ your GTX1060 with 3GB or memory with one with 6GB of memory or a GTX1080. I think the key thing is whether you're using all your VRAM ?

How would I tell if I'm using all the VRAM ?

I'm not running FG in multiple monitors yet. We'll see how things go in the future.

BTW, thanks to all that replied to my thread ! I really appreciate getting this figured out tonight.

On Linux with the Nvidia drivers I have an nvidia-settings program which lists under the GPU the "used dedicated memory". Simply keep an eye on that when you're running FlightGear.

Note that vram/resource tracking functionality can also be easily added to FlightGear, we did that already a couple of years ago when some new features caused a ton of swapping (patches included):

FYI, KDE in F32 has a very nice widget called CPU Load Monitor that shows the total CPU load as well as each thread load.
