@Maxis This is the DP Cable I selected:

I had not realised that there are different types, but follow on from what information HP gave me it has to be a 1.4.

Interesting, I have quite the opposite experience. I actually have to turn G-Sync off in this game because of how low the FPS is it creates like a flickering screen sensation that is absolutely terrible. It was worse before I upgraded my GPU, so now I actually usually leave it on, but I do turn it off still at times.

6700K at 4.0GHz

32GB RAM

Dell Gaming S2716DGR Monitor.

That is a limitation with your monitor. As I have mentioned previously, some monitors have a poor implementation of G-Sync. Best sticking with G-Sync ultimate if at all possible.

Pretty certain that a Display Port 2.0 cable would also work.  They almost certainly mean a minimum of DP 1.4 or above.

Also length matters, even a cable of the correct specs can potentially give issues if it is too long.  A good rule of thumb is do not exceed 6' (2m) unless absolutely necessary .  In other words do not get an extra long DP cable "just in case" you might be shooting yourself in the foot.

Glenn, The 1m length was a few cms too short, so I had to go for the 2m. The Samsung monitor's sockets are at the opposite end and being an extra wide screen, there was no other option.

Also @Maxis mentioned to update the drivers: the drivers for what? The monitor's drivers?

Once the cable has been connected, not sure what I am to expect or what I will have yo do!

Interesting, I wonder if that is a newer technology. I paid $700 for this monitor 3 years ago. A shame. At least it is not as bad anymore, and its the only game I play that gets below 100 fps so its not too bad 😄

One more big thing guys. In Process Lasso under Priority Class make sure that Windows dynamic thread priority boosts enabled is UNCHECKED.  This was one of the real difference makers for me. 

what is Process Lasso and where is it found?

Martin

@RobJC I have installed Project Lasso, but cannot find Priority Class!

Right click on flightsimulator.exe inside PL when MSFS is running. Then you will see a menu Priority Class > Always and then you will see menu choices.

BTW, I also noticed something strange today (and I remember seeing it previously). I turned most of my settings way down in MSFS. In doing so my FPS was in the mid 50s, dipping down into the 40s occasionally. In the FPS tool my GPU was solid yellow and my CPU was almost solid green. But regardless of what I tried I was unable to get MSFS to be stutter free. Stutters were bad. I tried RivaTuner. I changed all the options in MSFS. The only way I was able to get things smooth again was....to turn the settings back up. Now i have around 25 to 32 FPS and it is very smooth. I don't get it but this might be a clue. 

It is like my GPU needed to be stressed out to stop the stutters.

it seems really designed to run 4k HDR - ergo all these guys saying how nice it looks on tv's

Anyone else get micro sound stutters every minute or two sometimes? My performance is otherwise perfectly fine, but the sound will click off and on for a split second. Very annoying!

It only happens on final approach and taxiing to arrival gate with the A320 mod, and never at any other time during the flight, or with other planes. 

Can't understand why it doesn't happen any other time, such as during departure, cruise, or initial descent.

Does process lasso still help? I know it was hit or miss from the start, but it used to work for me, then after the Japan update, without it, the game ran fine for me, I also upgraded my GPU from a 1070 to a 1080 ti at the same time, so maybe coincidence. Maybe I will try it with it again.

I get that sometimes.

Me too. I notice it when CPU load hits 100%.
