Aerofly FS 2 - Vulkan graphics API update

Unfortunately no, I'm running different GPUs now (2080Tis in NVLink/SLI) so I'll not have Apples to Apples compare … I can test with the 2080Tis if you like … relative compare with Vulkan On/Off?

Cheers, Rob.

Yes, that would be great. Same graphic settings and location with Vulkan ON and OFF is what I'd like to see.

Is it possible or convenient for you to perform a single 2080ti test? If not, then SLI would be fine.

Thanks in advance!

Here ya go, single and multi-GPU with Vulkan vs. OpenGL ... some strange results in with single GPU and Vulkan? (not sure what that's about?)  OpenGL was faster on the FPS front BUT it didn't support the higher quality AA that Vulkan offers ... so keep that in mind when viewing (recorded at 60 FPS 4K resolution):

Cheers, Rob.

What i noticed is the GPU / CPU  load difference between Opengl and vulkan at least on the single GPU test.

Vulkan seems to be using more CPU power and RAM ?

Thanks a lot Rob,

Very strange results to be honest. Perhaps the presence of SLI or other setting / options were interfering? Vulkan seems to be using less CPU, but at the same time generating 3 times less FPS (at least in the single GPU test)? I would expect the opposite. Not really sure why.

On a side note: Aerofly does look beautiful and absolutely butter-smooth. I sincerely hope that low fps / stutters will soon be things of the past in flight sims. Isn't it exiting time to be a simmer 🙂 ?

Agree, very strange indeed, so strange I ran the Single GPU Vulkan test twice (after a reboot each time) as I didn't understand why GPU loads were distributed across both GPUs when I had NVLink/SLI disabled via NCP.  But, Vulkan API can address multiple GPUs if found regardless of the NCP SLI setting ... but why was FPS still lower?

My guess is 2080Ti drivers might still need some work for Vulkan.

But as far as Vulkan having lower FPS than OpenGL, I expected that result as Vulkan offers better AA support (better visuals).

Cheers, Rob.

My results are that Vulcan is now much faster than opengl in 2D. On the other hand opengl is still much faster in VR.

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.
