August 6, 20205 yr I was revisiting their last announcement and that part took my attention: Quote The NG3 flight deck is factors larger in terms of polygons and texture size, yet provides no discernible negative effect on the performance of the simulation. Didn't see anyone mentioning it, but it seems very interesting to me.

The simple answer is that MSFS has lots of excess CPU power compared to other sims in almost all use cases, so there's plenty of room for add-on aircraft to up the game without maxing things out like we used to CPU wise. Also, since even the default aircraft are high resolution and high detail graphically, there's no longer a huge dip in performance because you are throwing a 4096 texture add-on plane into an ancient engine designed for 1024 size textures. The old paradigms don't exist anymore. Edited August 6, 20205 yr by bonchie

But a lot of people were concerned the sim was performing good just because the 3rd party planes weren't in yet. Robert's statement changes things a little bit, if I understood it right. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel

Yeah, my CPU is not even breaking a sweat. Tons of headroom for high intensity 3rd party aircraft to do their calculations. Everyone has to think differently now. Upper level FPS may be lower than P3D in some situations, but the floor of the FPS is higher. You shouldn't go from 60FPS to 20FPS jumping into a PMDG plane anymore. Things are more compressed.

August 6, 20205 yr It's a modern sim designed to run on modern hardware. The future is here in two weeks! 😁

Only to be expected with a sim designed to run on modern hardware, but alos bear in mind that it's not as if an announcement from them is gonna say 'well yeah, our current product we're developing sucks and blows at the same time...'

August 7, 20205 yr Good. So many people insisted that add-ons would tank the simulator's performance, without accounting for the fact that the stock content is pretty much as complex as what add-on developers can do today. Complexity will increase over time for sure, but so will the engine's optimisation.

If someone has an older CPU's, maybe he can just upgrade to a higher end GPU and maybe get to 32G of Ram if that user is on a limited budget. That is what I am considering as I have a GTX 970 4G Vram and an Intel i7 4790K. I would much rather just up my GPU than go the route of also upgrading CPU/Motherboard.

I have an 8600K OCed to 4.6Ghz. I honestly don't know how it handles older or lower clock CPUs. I still have a 970 4GB as well. I'm waiting for the 3000 series cards in September to finally upgrade. It's just time. I want to see what AMD's Big Navi offers to. They are claiming to finally be at parody and surpassing Nvidia. We'll see. Edited August 7, 20205 yr by bonchie
