So now the acid test: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I'm delighted to report that the Frame Rates are running between 100 and 125 FPS with the sim settings on "High End", meaning video details are increased.
My out-going GTX 1080 card really struggled with FS 2020 and could barely hit 30 FPS with details turned down. Also, the 1080 fans really cranked up (I could feel much heat coming out of the computer case). Not so with the new RX 6900 XT - the fans are real quiet.
So all in all, I'm really stoked with this upgrade and now butter-smooth sim performance!  |
Off topic, kind of, but in MS Flight Sim what kind of difference does it make when using the high bandwidth sat imagery vs the low bandwidth? I don't have high speed where I'm at so I can't try the sat imagery yet, but even the low bandwidth stuff is pretty good considering it's all AI generating everything as you fly.
