I just did a quick test with  nVidia DSR Factors , changed the resolution to 8k, for MSFS 2020

Specs : I7 9700K@5,1 GHz, RTX 3090, 32 GB DDR4

Attached a screenshot with the graphics settings      https://postimg.cc/87yXxkxg

The average fps was 30, it's hard to believe. I was expecting 12-15 fps.

How genuine is this DSR Factors resolution ?

In the image posted, render scaling is 50 in the sim, for a resolution of 4,096 x 2,160.

That's not 8K. 8K would be 7,680 x 4,320 which is almost 4 times the amount of pixels.

Yes, you're right, MrFuzzy

Now, with render scalling to 100, I have average, about 15 fps

I just forgot about this ( most important ) setting

I have an 8K monitor at work. I hate it. You don't need anything like that unless your nose is glued to the screen.

Inches ??

If I go for 8k, it would be 65 inches.

Right now I use an 55 inches 4k, Samsung

Hopefully, someone here, upgraded from 55 inches 4k to 65 inches 4k, for an advice 

The ppi for 65 inches 4k its a bit of.... something like 32 inches full HD, which I wouldn't like

I am gaming on a 78 inch 4k TV and its absolutely great! Not only MSFS but all games are very enjoyable on a screen that big.

Doesn't look " pixelated "??? 

That's 56 ppi. How does the fonts look like? 

 

As long as you don't want to go above a factor of 2x, I don't think you even need to mess with DSR.   The "render scaling" option is effectively the same thing:  a value of 200 means that the game is rendered at twice your selected resolution and then downscaled.

The only reason to favor one over the other is if the quality or performance of the NVidia routines is better than that provided by MSFS.  I've not done any experimentation with that, so I don't know.    But all else equal, might as well use the native configuration options.

Yes, thank you 

It's hard to decide between 8k, 65 inches or 4k, 65 inches 

Asobo will improve the performance, I'll better wait an see 

If they go up to 50 % maybe there is a chance to go with 8k

I wonder how the image quality will be ( MSFS 2020 ) if I play @8k with render scalling 70 - 80 %

Sitting at the same viewing distance you will see a drop in quality but there should also be a noticeable gain in the immersion factor as the screen takes up more of your peripheral vision. So maybe that would help take your mind off any quality issues.

I went form 55" to 65" a few years ago and don't regret it although my aging GTX980ti can't really handle supersampling which I would really like to use.

8K is overkill unless the display is VERY big, like 120". 

Also, 33 MPixel are not manageable by any GPU at the moment, unless you sacrifice a lot of quality by pushing DLSS (which is not supported yet by MSFS) to its limits and probably get back to 4K quality.

Can anyone remind me what the default DSR factor is?  I think I may have changed mine at some point and don't want to default everything else.

I'm guessing it is probably 1.

Could somebody explain to me if there is an advantage  running higher thenm 100% render scaling.

I tried 200 % on a 1920x1080 an i dont think I see any improvement but that might be me.

Not really in my opinion, you may see slightly less aliasing and shimmering in the distance, only in certain circumstances, but if you don't have a higher resolution monitor, the advantage is minimal.
