50-60 FPS on lowest settings?

Featured Replies

Seems I don't really get any high FPS no matter what I do. I just set EVERYTHING to minimal. Render Scaling = 50. Terrain Level Detail: 10

The rest on LOW or OFF. Aircraft: Airbus. Location: Gatwick.

I expected FPS of at least 150 but no.... I was still on 50-60 and it looked like a joke.

Display: 1080P Monitor | 8700K @stock | 32 GB RAM | ASUS GTX 1080ti OC Gaming | Latest NVIDIA drivers.

Is this normal?

 

FYI: I don't need or want 150 FPS per se but I am trying to find the root cause to the really bad VR performance I have and something is not right in 2D. Which of course will have a major impact in VR

There is a VR forum. Try that.

Thanks but the actual issue is not VR related. This is my 2D performance

Limits of the game Engine mostly I’m afraid. 
 

Have you checked in Dev mode? I suspect you are CPU limited at those lower resolutions at least.

yepp, in fact mainthread limit for all settings (high, mid or low)

Yeah sorry, it's not Doom.

You can get higher FPS with that, but it depends of aircraft and scenery of course.

Here is a screenshot from the Alps in a GA and I am usually getting around 90 FPS in 2560x1440, mix of high/ultra.

A 787 on JFK is another story...

Sounds suspiciously like Vsync

I noticed my FPS do not sky rocket on lower settings either, however with your system you should be able to run high everything and get good frame rates.

I get 30-35 with EVERYTHING on ULTRA, which is pretty smooth. See specs in sig. below.

Flight Simulator's - Prepar3d V5/MSFS | Operating System - WIN 11 | Main Board - GIGABYTE X870E Aorus Elite WIFI7 | CPU - AMD 9800X3D | RAM - CORSAIR 64GB 6600Mhz | Video Card - EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra Monitor - DELL 38" Ultrawide | Case - CORSAIR 750D Full Tower | CPU Cooling - CORSAIR H170i Elite LCD 420mm Push/Pull | Power Supply - EVGA 1000 G+ | Sound System - Definitive Technology ProMonitor 600 w/subwoofer

You must have some type of problem I run 1080P with a 7700k and a 1060 6gig, and I can maintain 45 fps, with a couple settings on Ultra (clouds are one of them)

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's

You are CPU limited then.

You should be able to increase some of the GPU heavy settings.

Maybe try dropping the LOD settings even further I think they might be CPU related.
