the sim gives the warning every time it’s starting.

I would agree that the first step is to make sure that your new GPU is indeed being used, and that you are not running with the integrated GPU..

Assume the 3070ti has an auxiliary power connector....if so, make sure you plugged that in.

Failure to do so and the gpu will not perform as expected...

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

You don't mention the brand of RTX3070ti you bought. Might be the GPU is not properly identifying itself and MSFS is getting confused and spews out a generic warning. Easier to look thru the manufacturer's website for a few minutes than install Win10 and MSFS again.

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

Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Not acceptable in my opinion settings at Ulta and have 24-26 FPS stuttering and laggy. At high 34-36 FPS still laggy and stuttering. Never experienced this situation with the GTX 1080ti. I thought at list a gain of 7-10 FPS MORE WITH THE RTX 3070ti

Went from MSI 1070ti to 3070 Founders edition and had a big performance increase plus the 3070 runs a lot cooler.  Maybe you got a defective unit.

[lzamm 143]

May be worth having a look at UserCfg.opt (mine is in Appdata/Local/Packages/Microsoft.FlightSimulator_(whatever)/LocalCache, store version).  At the top mine says:

{Video
    Adapter "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER"
    Monitor 0
    Windowed 1
    FullscreenBorderless 0
    Resolution 1920 1080
    FullScreenResolution 1920 1080
    PrimaryScaling 1.000000
    SecondaryScaling 1.000000
    PrimaryScalingVR 0.800000
    SecondaryScalingVR 1.000000
    VSync 1
    HDR10 0
    Raytracing 0
    PreferD3D12 0
    PosX 0
    PosY 0
}
 

which is presumably what MSFS thinks the graphics card is.  It may still be hung up on your old one and getting upset when it doesn't find it.  I believe MSFS rebuilds this file if it doesn't find it so if it has the wrong info simply deleting it may solve the problem - but make a backup first!

I would instead suggest renaming it, such as something like "User_Cfg.opt" or making a backup first.

Yeah, thought of that and fixed it 🙂

I understand but 1080 ti Was for me something not to compare of what I get so far from this RTX

[MDFlier 2,031]

I think the others already gave you the answer. If MSFS says your card is not good enough, then it is looking at the wrong graphics adapter.  Keep it simple.

Go to Start menu -> Settings ->  System -> Display. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Advanced display settings".

On this page, you should see your Display information. Click where it says "Display adapter properties for Display 1" (I have 2 monitors - it might not say "display 1" at the end for you). A new box will open showing you the display adapter info. Does it show the 3070???

Ditto It happened to me at least once.

I have a 3070ti - brilliant at 1080p and 2k - borderline at full ultra with 4K. 

Never tried with VR headsets but likely also borderline.

Hello, yes it shows as it has to be, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
