Hello dear pilot and excuse me in advance for my poor English.
I recently reinstalled Prepar3D V5 for version 3.
I put back exactly the same graphics options as with version 2 but when I did a test flight, I noticed my GPU was constantly at 100% which was not the case with Version 2.
I immediately suspected the Enhanced Atmospherics, when I deactivated it the use of the GPU went from 100% to 30% / 35%.
I know this is an option that requires a lot of resources but even on V2 it does not require as many resources, on V2 with EA activated I had a usage of 70/80%
Is there a reason the EA is now bringing the GPU to its knees?
In itself with EA activated I have no bug or stutter on P3D, it is rather quite fluid, but given that I do a lot of long haul flight its worries me a little to see my GPU at 100% in continuously for hours.
