Hell,

Today i decided to give RTSS a try. Some said it improves the VSYNC behaivours, others say it improves the overall smoothness....lets see!

So setting up RTSS for MSFS what would be the most recommended Setting between RTSS, MSFS and Nvidia control centre?

I am running on an i9-9900K @4.8

RTX2080ti

32GBRAM and so on.

MSFS is running pretty well as i have found a good sweetspot but i'd like to try if i can get rod of some of those little stutters which seem to be related to VSYNC in my case.

 

Any tips appreciated!

RTSS doesn't do any tweaking on its own, it's just a statistics server (that's what the "SS" stands for).  There used to be a product called RivaTuner, which RTSS was a part of, but it is ancient and completely irrelevant at this point.   The tweaking you would need to do would be either in your nVidia control panel, if you want to control the driver level, or something like MSI Afterburner if you want to mess with your hardware settings.

So, given that, I'm not sure anyone can provide what you've asked for.   Perhaps you can clarify with citations to the material you're referencing.

Well thanks! I think i read somewhere that using RTSS as a frameratelimiter and for VSYNC would provide better smoothness for whatever reason. Please excuse my little knowledge as i am by no means a techfreak. If RTSS is out of date and Nvidias own controlpanel can do it as good as, i'll leave RTSS behind though.

But thanks anyway!

RTSS works beautifully for my P3Dv5 and makes it completely stutter free on 4K @30 FPS, but I haven’t been able to produce same smoothness with it in FS2020. 

Cheers,

Would you mind telling me which way to set things up?

Here's what I wrote in MSFS forum, hope it helps.

"it’s a widespread misconception that a high frame rate equals smooth gameplay - at least for flightsim purposes. What gives me the best results is to aim for settings inside the simulator that provide a stable framerate of well more than 30 fps under all circumstances (I’m running mostly “High” settings on an i9-9900k with 5.1Ghz on all cores and a RTX 2080). That’s crucial, 30 fps and more under ALL circumstances.
Than I have two options:

1. I can set a custom resolution inside the Nvidia Control panel with a 30Hz refresh rate. My monitor supports that. Than I select “vsync on” in MSFS, in my case I choose a maximum refresh rate of 60, you may try 30 if that gives you a smoother result. The downside of this is a laggy mouse cursor.
2. My preferred method: I use Riva Tuner Statistics Server (RTSS) ver. 7.2.2 (it may work with later versions but I haven’t tried). I set up a profile for MSFS ( hit CTRL and “ADD” while MSFS is running and it will show you flightsimulator.exe). In that profile klick on scanline sync until it shows “scanline sync x/2”. In the box behind it set -10. In MSFS deselect (YES!) vsync.

What both methods do: they synchronise the framerate of the Sim with the refresh rate of your monitor. And that gives you a smooth expierience despite it being “only” 30 fps. If the Sim can’t keep up at least 30 fps - well than you are back to stutters unfortunately until you lower your settings ingame."

I have about the same system like you and I only get worse performance with locking frames and all other tweaks for that matter, doesn't the game run fine for you without tweaks? I only use G-Sync + V-Sync in Nvidia panel and the game runs perfectly fine and smooth for me.

Well actually it does! Except from that stuttering when looking through the props (other topic earlier).

This works for me also, but it does depend on having a 60 Hz monitor!

There seem to be two schools of thought in the forum:

1. I paid for a mega video card, and I want to get my money's worth out of it. Run it at 100%!

2.  Give the video card some headroom and run it at a more conservative setting.. 😉

I am in the second camp.. but as mentioned, it does depend on your monitor... so check that first!

Is this a typo? I've always seen -1 suggested. What's that number actually doing? Thanks

If you hover over the setting, a help caption shows you what it is for.

If allows you to adjust the location of the scan line.

Ok, so I need to apologize and own up to a mistake here.   I never realized that RTSS actually let you tweak two different things amongst all its sliders and buttons for monitoring.   Sorry for the inadvertent misinformation, and Today I Learned.
