Hoping someone can help.  I’m experiencing a large FPS loss with this latest update.  I know I don’t have a powerful system but I was getting 28-30 FPS with  moderate settings before this mega update. Now I’m getting 10-12 FPS.  I’ve been researching on google with lots of suggestions that had no results. I’ve updated my system and all programs. I have the latest Nvidia drivers. Even if I lower all graphics settings in MSFS 2020 there is no change. Frame rate stays at 10 - 12. I’m at a loss what is doing this. Everyone seems to be gaining and I’m going the other way. Would appreciate any help. 
My computher specs are:

Intel i7 4790 4.0 gigahertz

32 gigs ram

 Video card Nvidia GTX 960 8 GIGS RAM

Thanks Gerry

You should definitely see a performance improvement with SU5, have you try to run the game vanilla without any add-on in your community folder?

No. Will give it a try. I’ll let you know. 
Thanks

Tried what you suggested.  Unfortunately this didn’t make a difference. Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Have you made any setting changes on your PC? Are you overclocking? Is Windows game mode still on?

I’ve made no changes. I’m not overclocking and Windows game mode is off. 
This is so crazy but something must be affecting it. I’m determined to find what it is. 
Thanks.

I updated Windows before install and updated everything in MSFS. Also all drivers are updated. I want to explore everything before I spend the time of uninstalling and reinstalling. 
Thanks.

Try turning it on. It should be on. What about hardware scheduling? Try ending apps running in the background as much as you can for trial and error.

Good idea to check what is running in the background.  Also I’ll turn game mode back on. 
Will work on these tomorrow and post results here.  Much thanks. 
 

Anti-Virus?

Be sure to also delete the addons you bought through the marketplace (under "official").

Hi

I have the same CPU as you, and originally found terrible blurry textures and low frames (at Orbx LOWI).

First I reset my graphics to High End and tweaked to suit, eg no depth of filed or motion blur, clouds to Ultra. You may have to do this every time you restart the sim but mine seem to be holding.

I reinstalled LOWI, and added 8Gb of rolling cache. 
Rebooted and wow, 50 FPS on the ground, and over 60 aloft. Prior to this it was 23fps on the ground and up to 35-40 aloft.

still occasional CTDs, which I never had in this region before, but the performance more than compensates. Fingers crossed.

Not sure if this will help you…

 

I going to try all of this and will post results. 
Much thanks.
