Ok, my experience is not going to sound so good for now.
Yesterday evening I have replaced my good old GTX 480 by a brand new GTX 970 from Asus.
My computer has an i7 960 @ 3,76 GHz, with 6 Gb of RAM and Window 7 64 bits. Windows and P3D both have their dedicated SSDs.
The installation went without problems. I updated the drivers to the latest WHQL ones, the card was recognized. I went to the NVidia Control Panel and checked the settings both for the global and the P3D profiles. I just set the DSR factor back to 2.0x with 20% smoothness, exactely like I had with the GTX 480.
I have quickly edited the P3D.cfg to remove the reference to the GTX 480 and set back the TEXTURE_BANDWITH_MULT to its original value (40 instead of 30). Also, I have deleted the shaders to force P3D to regenerate them.
I launched a flight over the Corsica photoscenery (with autogen) and the game settings were unchanged.
The result is puzzling. The FPS is the same, if not lower, than what I had with the GTX 480. Even when I set the FPS limit to "Unlimited", the FPS stay around the 20's... I don't know what is happening. It looks like my video card forgot to remove the parking brake...
