Hello, just today due to a GPU technical issue had to buy a new GPU graphics card. I get the RTX 3070ti. Every time I start my simulator now I get a warning msg that Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements. As a result you may experience errors during the game. 
Anyone please give some advise? Never had this before.

Thank you

What GPU did use before the change? Did you perform a clean driver removal with DDU before adding the the new one?

Before I had the GTX1080ti, was very happy, perfect performance. Now I don’t know but so far this RTX 3070ti  I can say no comparison with the previous. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s what I see so far. I did not perform anything, just uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new ones.

Enabling (or deleting and re-enabling) your Rolling Cache might help.

32 or 64 GB are good places to start.

Also check to see that all online data functionality in the sim is enabled.

What?

Why should this be in any direct connection to GPU related things? He didn’t get the warning before the new GPU was installed. 

I used a 3070 briefly before I picked up a 3080. Performance was very good with the 3070 so no concerns about the ti variant meeting the minimum requirements. Would definitely do a clean driver install and also try a couple of benchmarks to ensure the 3070ti is performing as expected.

One other thing to check is that the sim is actually using your new GPU (instead of any onboard graphics if you have that):

All versions - How to improve the performance – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

On top of doing a clean reinstallation of the drivers, also a good idea to clear the directx shader cache inside Windows Disk Cleanup (just do a search for it in the taskbar and make sure the checkbox is selected against the shader cache option).

The suggestion to check which GPU is being used is a good one. RTX 1070 ti should be pretty good for MSFS as far as I’ve seen on the forums. 

You don’t actually say (unless I missed it)  if you can open MSFS and fly. I’m assuming you can though.

if you go into Developer mode and switch on FPS monitoring from the drop down menu, how does the latency of the new GPU and your CPU compare? Did you do that with your old GPU for comparison? What are your FPS like, are they lower than before and is there stuttering…?

Also if you can fly in the sim and you press CTRL- ALT-DEL keys, this will tell you how much graphics memory your GPU is using, and which GPU, if you also have on board graphics. It’s worth disabling on board graphics in Device Manager. I also found that a Windows Realtek Sound Driver was sharing my GPUs Windows Interrupt - Google how to edit what each Interrupt has using it.

 

Try running Windows diagnostics - eg type sfc/scannow in a Command window running as Admin. Can identify Windows issues.

The utility GPU-Z is very handy for seeing what your computer thinks what your graphics card’s spec is and how fast it’s running - base clock etc. 

depending on your card’s manufacturer, download a GPU utility. I have EVGA Precision for example… 

These questions may help people to be more precise when trying to help you possibly.

after seeing the above results you may also be in a better position to judge yourself whether your problems are with Windows, the sim or the GPU.

good luck. I’m only saying this as I also have a GTX 1080 ti and definitely have no intention of changing it.

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to give advise. I still get the warning every time I run the sim anyway. We have done two times clean install of the drivers and I will now see how the sim performs. I think the only thing is left is to for make a clean Windows 10 installation and fresh simulator too. So sad I lost the GTX 1080ti I never intended to change it but the worst happened. Anyway this RTX 3070ti supposed to be better. Honestly I’m not sure 😞

A GPU stress test should reveal any GPU issues.

We have done stress tests, benchmarks the GPU gives its maximum with no OC, but still the sim gives the warning every time it’s starting.

I think the last chance is to make a fresh installation on both windows 10 and MSFS 2020

That should be easy so I'd try the Official forum or Zendesk since the 3070 ti is pretty new.

Can you still get into the sim though? If so, try an app like MSI Afterburner and see what it is reporting as the GPU in use. The post earlier about potentially using onboard gpu is a good one to check. Which cpu are you using?

Before you do a full reinstall, could you run dxdiag and paste what the display tab shows?
