August 20, 20205 yr Commercial Member MSFS is running great for me on an i7 4970K with a GTX 970 4GB and 16G Ram. I was an Alpha tester and I have to say that the release version is running much better than I was expecting. REX AccuSeason Developer REX Simulations

I do get the odd lockup but thats my fault with the O/C of the CPU/RAM happens with all apps. Anyway its very playable even with High Settings (or Ultra in low density areas) albeit not super smooth on average I would say around 20fps. on a Sydney to Melbourne flight. Probably could do wtih more RAM - 16GB would be comfortable - but I'm limited by the old tri-channel memory architecture with 6 x 2GB sticks all I can fit unless I upgrade so will probably wait till I replace the whole thing. Either way quite impressed by the amount of rendering going on with reasonable frame rates on a 12 year old system ! Very similar here, i7-930 12gb ram and gtx970. Runs pretty smooth at 1080 in Medium & not so bad in high. Means I can wait for 30xx before upgrading!... G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron
August 20, 20205 yr Well done to all of us in The MEL (Minimum Equipment List) Club. It seems MSFS is catering to our modest rigs extremely well. In fact I'd go further by saying that a lot of the problems being reported are from very high spec rigs NOT getting the sort of performance they expected. It's great to be able to operate and fly aircraft in this sim with our rigs and, of course, inspire us to save our pennies to upgrade as we go. Currently I'm; 4790K (@ 4.6 steady) 16 Gig DDR3, MSI 780Ti, 2 x 500 Gig SSDs at 2K and MSFS suggested Medium. Good enough for now. Good work Asobo and Thank You.

August 20, 20205 yr Sorry, guys, I got you all beat: running this on medium with 8 gigs of system ram. Get about 25-28 on the ground, around 15 in the air. Not great but flyable.

Yesterday I run it with system similar to yours 4770K @4.5 Ghz 16 Gb RAM 2200 MHz GTX 970 4 Gb 27" Monitor 2560*1440 MSF defaulted to mostly medium settings and at Newark airport I got fps 10 - 25 Today I replaced my GTX970 with a 2070 Super MSF defaulted to mostly high settings and I got around 30 fps (40 -55 fps with the old settings) In all cases I have annoying stutters which has been described in other threads here. This really needs to be fixed.

This really needs to be fixed. Ummm, the stutters are hitting pilots with 2080Ti and the latest CPUs and bucket loads of RAM. There's talk of taking Render Scaling back to 70% and testing/ increasing from there in 5% increments. Let us know your mileage.

Can we have the rest of your system specs? i5 6600, 4 gig graphics card AMD, I'm running MSFS off of a ratty 2tb harddrive. And the aforementioned 8 gigs of system ram. Vsync on. Framerates capped at 20. As I said, in the air I get around 12-15 depending, not smooth by any means, but (sometimes barely) flyable.

Seems to be quite a broad spectrum of opinions on it so figured I’d give mine. My pc is very modest, I’m running an I7 7700, 12gb ram, gtx 1060 6gb card. My impressions so far...WOW, I am extremely impressed, kudos to Microsoft on this one. my performance is great on high settings in clear skies, rain, overcast etc. In the a320, caravan or Cessna 172. Seems i get nothing below 40 FPS so far which is more than acceptable given my system. My resolution is lower, 1920x1080. But wow does this ever look awesome. The ground, the way it looks, being able to navigate by roads in my area. I am convinced this truly is the future of simming. Sure there are some quirks, but as a simmer since fs95 and my initial experience with msfs(2020), I hate to say it as I truly enjoyed my p3d time and am thankful, but I truly don’t think I can go back to p3d, even without my PMDG’s and A2A’s. The clouds, the rain coming off the windscreen, the immersion when it’s raining and cloudy with a mix of sun. This has truly exceeded my expectations, And the best part, it can only get better. I have a lot of settings to tinker with, and controls to set etc. But my experience so far has been jaw dropping. This is truly a great time for the flight simulation community. I am extremely happy with my purchase, no regrets, and definitely feel like I got my money’s worth and then some. Hope the majority are enjoying it as much as I am! cheers! This has been my experience also on ani7-975 CPU, 12 GB's of 3200 RAM, EVGA FTW 1070 GPU. I'm nearly at full Ultra and running at that MSFS setting level at between 27-32FPS (and totally smooth and flyable!) (that's with a moderate heavy scud or broken in Live Weather) Most satisfied with this...and the fact..(I was sweating that one...) that I'd have to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars to get near Ultra that I would want to fly at. The first few flights, belayed that fear. No more $$$' needs to be spent, to 'allow' me a satisfied level of expectation and usage. Thrilled ever since the first flight! 🙂 Edited August 22, 20205 yr by Sesquashtoo
August 22, 20205 yr Yes indeed, it's great to get up flying knowing that the hardware upgrades aern't an immediate Must Have but a future plan. To get things even more slick have you experimented with the Manual Cache? I'm getting very smooth loading of scenery I cached of the immediate area I usually fly.

And the GTX 970 for that matter ?
