August 23, 20205 yr A computer upgrade is required to run FS2020? Article has the 8 settings that affect performance most with explanations. https://www.tomshardware.com/features/microsoft-flight-simulator-benchmarks-performance-system-requirements bs Edited August 23, 20205 yr by bean_sprout AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

I've been recommending people try it with their current hardware first to see how it works. If you need anything upgraded you'll know quickly enough. Many people have been surprised at how well MSFS runs without upgrading. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
August 23, 20205 yr The performance on my pc with a 7700K and RTX2080 is acceptable in 1080p (II have a 1080p monitor). It is a little bit of a concern that the monster PC in this video doesn't fare better than it does. Good to know that the sim has room to grow in terms of future hardware I guess. Chris
August 23, 20205 yr I thought my mid-level i7 was incapable of running the sim at 4K. I was considering a hardware upgrade. Then I enabled hyperthreading and the sim now runs perfectly smoothly at 4K. Don't trash your current hardware until you thoroughly understand how it's interacting with the sim.

August 23, 20205 yr As a note to many, make sure you use the 60fps setting in the Sim to maximize your GPU. With my modest GTX1060 6 GB, my fps almost doubled. It did make the GPU run at around 100% where when I used 30fps setting, it ran at about 60%.
August 23, 20205 yr More like "we knew" that we would need future hardware that is currently not available to run FS2020 at ultra settings even with a 1080P monitor. MSFS

What do you consider acceptable? I'm getting 30 fps at 1440p with clouds on high, everything else on ultra with a 7700K, 1070. A 2080 at 1080p should be more than acceptable.

Not entirely. I just finished a flight from KSLC to KLAX and am on Ultra at 1080p and had a steady 30fps the entire time. Of course it was default Airbus. I’m only running a i7-9700k and 1080ti. Sure, future hardware is really going to be nice but it’s still pretty dang enjoyable all maxed out. / CPU: Intel i7-9700K @4.9 / RAM: 32GB G.Skill 3200 / GPU: RTX 4080 16GB / Freight Pilot

Let me know how it performs when you drop in a PMDG 737. MSFS

This sim takes advantage of current hardware today and looks great doing it.

To be fair to PMDG, they did a stunning optimisation job on their 747-400 for FSX, and that was at risk of OOM for being 32 Bit, yet barely ever caused a crash. You might be surprised how well they can fit a 737 in. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

I'm pretty sure PMDG is going to have their add-ons running smooth as butter in this sim.

Like I said, it’s all default but can still run Ultra just fine without the need of future hardware. However, PMDG did say that their 737 so far has no more of a hit than the default Airbus... 🤷♂️ / CPU: Intel i7-9700K @4.9 / RAM: 32GB G.Skill 3200 / GPU: RTX 4080 16GB / Freight Pilot
