Means nothing without your resolution....

Assuming you’re running at 1080p, that’s about what I would expect given your configuration.

Great to know! 

I just got an email that my new rig is arriving next week, very similar specs to yours.

Can’t wait! 😀

Edit: And congrats 🎈 enjoy!!!

Congrats on the new computer. I just finished building a [email protected] with DDR-4 4400 on a Asus Hero board. I'm using a temp video card just for the buildup and waiting for a possible 3080 with 20gb of vram. For now I'm using the old box for flying.

I see this motherboard for $400 on newegg.  I bet you could have gotten something equivalent in performance for $250-$300.  Put the saved $150-$100 on a better gfx card.  Did you buy this just recently?  The rtx 3070 will cost $500 due october.  Does the price you paid for the 2060 super+$150=$500? if so, :0   even if you couldnt have waited, you could still have gotten a better gfx card thats available now.  Not that you will return things and do this, its more for others to consider this strategy.

I'm glad you're such an expert but my daddy didn't raise no dummies. I bought the hardware at an estate sale for USD$1100...total. But, I did pay retail for the Windows 10 pro. Does that meet with your approval?

Not sure why you'd do all that and get a 2060 Super, which gives the exact same performance as my 3-year-old 1080. Depends on what you're upgrading from I guess. 

glad you got a good deal.  If you would have paid normal retail price, would my assessment be wrong?

Just be happy for the OP, why the need to be “right”? 

good for him, but if someone would buy that list of hardware retail right now, its not a good strategy....thats my point sir.

You are heavily GPU limited.
It doesnt fit into the rest of the system regarding MSFS.

I would be very concerned getting that result on such a rig and i think your GPU is well underpowered for MSFS.
