Hello, wondering if anyone has performance tweaks they can offer for systems with Higher end NVidia cards or cards with more video ram than is being used. Via the watch -n 5 nvidia-smi command I can see the gpu’s ram barely being touched. maybe 4gb out of the 16 I have available. I have to believe it would perform far better if it could address more vram.
I have the latest nvidia 590 tested driver and it works well. I am using the Industrial City map for testing and it gets choppy sometimes with an Intel i9, 64gb ram and a 5090 with 16gb ram. So I went looking for ways to tweak it.
one suggestion was to edit some settings like
r.streaming.poolsize
vram limiting
texturing if not needed
however I am unsure where to actually find those settings for the Industrial City map.
wide open to ideas.
It looks like your question isn’t related to the Anafi UKR drone, right ? You’ll probably get better help by contacting NVIDIA support or checking their forums.
Thanks @Hugo
No not the drone itself, but the Parrot Simulator for sure. Since that Drone is what I use I tagged that as I could not, for some reason in the picklist of categories, place it in what would seem to be the proper category. Regardless I was able to dig further on my own and it seems that the Parrot Sim is perhaps locked to a single threaded model which greatly limits the ability to take advantage of today’s modern GPUs and their extensive VRam to get a closer to real-time experience when running it.
I don’t believe there is anything NVidia or AMD or any GPU mfg could do as it is not FOSS but Closed source. It was a fun experiment to try to push the sim to get close to real time flight because well, let’s face it, crashes are expensive and pilots need training and you would not want to see how bad I could mangle a drone
If you have a way to move the topic to a better category, please do!
