MSFS2020 Settings

[Ricardobc 2]

Hello Simmers,

Anyone here simulate with a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop? 5800h, 32gb Ram, RTX3070 144w are the main specs and i have the laptop connected to a LG35 inch monitor 3440x1440 resolution. I am having problems with FPS and not stable at least with 30 fps.

Can you folks share here your display settings of MSFS2020?

Thank You

 

Regards,

 

Ricardo

My aettings for my system probably wouldn't be relevant to you, however I would start by setting msfs and your videocard settings to default and working up from there until you get instability, then dial back a bit.  This process has served  me well over many years of flight simming.

That’s interesting, didn’t know this was a thing!

Hi Ricardo - that's very decent hardware but pushing that resolution is always difficult. Here are a few simple suggestions:

- Start off with the suggestion from the official zendesk (disable fullscreen optimizations and scaling, disable HAGS, disable VBS on Win 11, set virtual memory, etc)

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

- In Windows, disable background app refresh and auto-startup for as many apps as possible

- In Windows -> Power -> set power mode to best performance

- In Windows Gaming - > captures -> disable recording  

- In Nvidia CP, change power management to "prefer maximum performance", and if you're running DX11, set low latency mode to "on"

- With your hardware, try starting off with the High preset in the sim

- If you want to keep the 3440x1440 resolution, drop render scaling to 80-90% and see if you get an improvement

- Once you're comfortable with your fps, you can revisit each graphic setting the sim and increase to ultra to see if it has an impact

Please could anyone explain to me the benefit and effects of this?  I think there may be 3 settings - on, off and ultra. Thanks.

Sure thing - changing the setting to "on" limits the pre-rendered frame queue to 1. This can lower the the overhead on the CPU and can help with both mainthread and GPU performance and latency. Setting it to ultra fully minimizes queued frames and latency but works best when gsync and vsync are enabled (otherwise you may hit stutters). Note that low latency mode only works in DX11; DX12 takes control of the queue at a low level.

And if you really want to get into the weeds

So, which is the best latency setting, off, on or Ultra  ?

I tried both and I don't see any difference I don't know which one to activate I have vsync 30IPS activated in MSFS

If I understood correctly it is necessary to put on ULTRA if one uses Vsync in MSFS?
