SP Is GPU Bound Now...

49.3k PlaneFlightX  2.4 years ago

I'll provide more information about this in a future main progress update for the SWL-120, but basically, in an effort to reduce CPU impact, I modelled some seats and then added them to the game. 5 parts for the whole interior. I'm using 90% of my 3060 when playing now. This was developed alongside klm747's Airliner Seats mod, and my seats are more of a step up in detail then his simple seats. I'm actually going to release a dedicated mod for the SWL-120 (and of course a no mods version will be released) which includes both my seats, one of his seats, and a few other special parts to reduce CPU usage.

    my pc with 16gb of ram can barely run 2000 part builds

    @Hazerz I haven't really posted an update about it, but I'm going to have business class as well as economy now.

    @Amirabadi That will be one of the versions (flying cockpit)

    @PlaneFlightX yeah i knew it
    but i really looking for smooth performance with full cockpit

    @Amirabadi Something I'm doing is making lots of versions, with different levels of detail in different areas.

    @PlaneFlightX hello
    i am super excited for SWL-120
    but my PC is mid
    and I'm looking for cockpit
    I'm pretty sure you will publish low part versions
    so....
    please consider all features in cockpit in one of low part versions.
    with a big thanks for your hard work

    What about first class and economy?

    @V Yeah, in fact if I drag out like 20 of the base parts (the seat bases for the whole interior), my GPU maxes out and the CPU is barely doing anything.

    @PlaneFlightX your probably right, since my 100k part attempts would be at a poly count of 1.2mil at max

    @V I think it's because these seats are intense. I spent a total of twenty hours modelling a set of three seats (with every nook and cranny having details...), and then I have 447 of them. There are millions of vertices. Most edges are rounded off with another 15 sided corners. That's a lot of 3D stuff to render. Literally all the parts in SP are simple meshes compared to even one of these seats.

    It's odd with your plane being so hard on your GPU. with my 100,000 part creation attempts, I am being bottlenecked by ram allocation. My GPU and CPU are almost unaffected. My specs are worse than yours, with a core i5 10th gen and a GeForce gtx 1650 with 4 gigs of VRAM and 64 gigs of DDR4

    The next logical step is to just model the entire thing and make a one-part airliner.

    😳😳😳
    If 1 part airliners are a vanilla feature on SP, then only NASA supercomputers will run SP at that point

    @X99STRIKER no. Even back when android was available (for my first ever mods), I couldn't figure out how.

    @PlaneFlightX
    Would it be possible to make modded parts like this downloadable on mobile?
    maybe!? :D :D :D

    @HuskyDynamics01 That's what I'm thinking of. 1 part for each whole body. A basic plane would be like 50 parts, because of rotators and each 3D model, not including the cockpit switches, physics wings, landing gear, etc. But yeah, it would make SP a gpu dependant game.
