X-Plane 11.50 Vulkan vs OpenGL Comparison (Orbx, ASXP, Reshade) | First Impressions

Thank you so much for this video

Have you noticed the dotted mesh which can be seen in Orbx scenery in the Vulkan copy??
You can see it on grassy areas like fields etc..

I hope that xprealistic pro will be updated because it hasn't been updated in years

niiiceeee, whats the clouds you use?

Vulkan is indeed quite the improvement. Especially in VR things are a lot smoother now. There is still the occasional hickup, but nothing like it was in OpenGL. Cool video!

What is thes airport ??

Very good video Will 👍

Vulkan is not working for me. It just keeps crashing everytime i load, and when i finally get in, it crashes right after takeoff. I am definitely switching back to v11.41.

Excellent video , is there any reason why the cockpit colours change from Open Gl to Vulkan ?

Great video. Unfortunately I have World Traffic 3, both Toliss planes, FF A320... my sim crashed with Vulkan. Waiting til they patch things up. FYI: If you want even more smoothness, don't unlock your FPS. If you have an FPS limiter (nVidia CP I think has one natively now) limit your FPS to the minimum FPS you have experienced at a busy place. Ideally anything above 30 FPS as the cap. Even 28 FPS constantly will give you a way better overall feel than un-capped going from 28 FPS to 54 FPS, then 35 FPS, then back to 28 FPS. Plus, I have an RTX 2080 Ti and for some reason, if I let it loose, it tries too hard to give me my monitors 144Hz, then overheats and throttles. If I cap to mid 30s it's much better and less stutters.

I am getting blurry textures with Vulkan and I have a GTX 1050 to and a I7 7700k

I am using 980ti and i7 4790k and it runs like a brand new system. Finally software has caught up with our older but still very powerful hardware! Crashes here and there as it is beta but the total lack of stutter is worth it. Random blurry tiles seems to be the trade off for stutter free.

I installed latest update xp11 and wtf?? Cockpits in all olanes became to big

I get around 65 minimal and the most i gotten one time was 125 frames..hold third party update the products..FF,Toliss,jardesign etc soon and than everything will be 👍👌

Rip me. I got black screen and crashing when trying to enable Vulkan so i clicked betas off in the Installer and reverted back to 11.41 witch is a stable release and waiting until they per fix the crashing/ Not enough VRAM and errors for a small percentage of me and other Nvidia users :(

now xplane just needs modern graphics like fsx 2020

The guys at x-plane are doing such brilliant work. It's just a massive shame that Microsoft looks like they are going to blow them out of the water.

What are your specs? And what are your settings?

hi how did you install reshade with Vulkan or which driver did you select when installing reshade? Thanks in advance

Using an i5-6600K and an RX 580. I used to have 15-20 FPS and now have about 30 FPS. I thought there was supposed to be a higher boost with Vulkan. Did I do anything wrong?

Can someone explain how to get Vulkan?

I've got a modest PC (i7 2600k GTX1050ti) and the update took my fps from 25-30 to 45-55fps. I can finally fly an enjoyable VFR flight in XP11 and not worry about FPS

Lovely comparison mate! Mind sharing Your reshade profile? :D

Now if they could give us the weather/world scenery like MFS2020 then they could rest however....

I went goodwood for their utter nutter challenge, my name is there! :D

You can see a difference in the cockpit textures, the writings are much clearer in OpenGL. Sure you get more FPS but that's because the textures are lower.. Hopefully the final version of Vulkan will keep the good textures and great frames.

Thank you for the video. However it would have been better if you had mentioned what type of Video Card you have. Apparently you would see the most gains if you have an AMD card which suffered a lot from Open GL. Nvidia users would see some gains but not dramatically so.

I saw about a 30% increase with my GTX 1070! No crashes (in game or otherwise) but I don't run a lot of plugins either.

My textures are all screwed up . When I load the zibo 737-800X the writing is all unreadable .Any idea?

I'm having a problems with ortho textures rendered at low resolution on Vulkan in VR even my setting are on max.
i don't have that problem on screen...

Great. Could this be under 10 min?

hi everyone do i have to anything extra for enable vulkan on x plane 11. just confuesd little bit thnk you

Before I can get 30 FPS now 85-89 FPS :) 3840*1080 UltraWide monitor all graphics MAXIMUM AA 2X ... I9900K RTX 2080 Super 32 Gb ram

Tearing is not because of stuutering. It is tearing because vsync is off.

Very good demonstration. Thank's

I'm sorry for commenting this here but recently Xplane has been Using ALOT of cpu and then I have System interrupts that sometimes runs at 0.5% but then runs at 95% crashing my computer WHILST I'm on Xplane. This has never happened before and have never had any problems with Xplane in the past. Please helppp

I dunno about this. At the moment you started moving in the beginning of this video while taxing, while using vulcan, your screen was showing 50 frames per sec, but the world was moving as if you were getting about 20 fps. It makes no sense.

How you managed Reshade to work in Vulkan?

I have managed to have vulkan and open gl.. But I was wondering,

Is it ok to have both vulkan and open gl on a window 10 pc? It's installed 🤔
