March 19, 20215 yr It’s like someone tipped them off🤔 New PC Ryzen 9850X3D - 32gb ddr5 6000Mhz - MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk wifi - Gigabyte wind force gaming OC 5090 - 2TB Sabrent NVMe. Old PC - Ryzen 5900x - 32gb 3600Mhz RAM - Asus Strix X570-F Motherboard - ASUS TUF OC RTX 3090 - 1TB Sabrent NVMe. AOC AGON 32" 144Hz - Honeycomb Yoke - Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog.

March 19, 20215 yr He talks a lot. 🙂 But the conclusion was long known: with 1080p a GPU upgrade doesn't help much. With 4k it helps a lot. With 1440p it would have helped more if he'd used a Render Scaling above 90. 😉
March 19, 20215 yr It's part of that Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
March 19, 20215 yr So will I get extra performance gain on my 1080Ti if I shift Render Scaling down to 90% from 100% (running 1440P)

But it won't look as good. Actually I don't think this is a good option. At 4k on the other hand, this is key to a reasonable performance. Edited March 19, 20215 yr by crimplene
March 19, 20215 yr Another point: He really should have compared framerates with complex airliners like the A320NX or the CRJ. He would have found out that MSFS gets so much CPU limited with those Aircraft that a faster GPU can add eye candy (always good, of course!) but not fps. Even a very fast CPU (I use a 10700K at 5.2 GHz on all cores) doesn't get you a lot more than 30 fps, regardless of screen resolution. Edited March 19, 20215 yr by crimplene

But while with the monitor setting you can only switch between "standard" resolutions, with that slider you have more intermediate ones. The lower the render scaling, the less pixels the sim has to draw on, the more performance you gain back AND the less quality you keep. It's manageble only on those starting from a native 4k resolution or on big screens imho, that's why they are doing it mostly on higher res monitors Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
March 19, 20215 yr Yeah, just tried it and it actually cost me frames to reduce to 90% of native 1440p. Back to 100%.
