Replace video card

Hi,
a year ago I installed "Condor2" on my workstation with video card a Nvidia Quadro K4000 (Mem. 3GB); simulation at ± 60 fps.
A few weeks ago I replaced the video card with a new Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 (Mem 8GB); simulation at ± 160 fps.
Now the simulation seems more nervous to me, I have some difficulty in driving the glider in a stable way even with weak thermals and light winds.
In the "Setup" menu the indication of the installed video card is correct while the video memory capacity is 3072MB not 8192MB, capacity of the old video card. (I attach printscreen)
During the installation of the "Condor2" software, are any parameterizations (settings) related to the graphics power and memory capacity of the video card made?
Is it better to install "Condor2" again with the new video card?

Thanks
Michele

Condor is a 32 bit program. It can only use a maximum of 3 GB of VRAM. So this is normal.

Depending on how the flight model works increasing the FPS could increase the temporal resolutions of the simulation or generate instabilities in it but I don't think that should be the case with 160 FPS in Condor2, try enabling V-Sync and possibly a frame cap 3 frames above the monitor refresh rate (you can find the option in the NVIDIA CP or i software like Afterburner). I also advise to enable MSAA since your card can easily handle it.
There is no need to reinstall Condor2.

Hi,
thank you for the answers.
I did not remember that the Condor2 application is compiled at 32 bits.
Thanks for the tips I will try.
