April 23, 20224 yr Hello all! I recently purchased a Skytech computer with AMD Ryzen 7, RTX 3070, 16 gb ram etc.. I am currently playing on a Roku 55 inch 4k TV. I have been experimenting with different settings, but this is going to take awhile to learn. Any input on critical factors such as rendering settings and other tweaks I should do? I'm looking for a frame rate counter to see how I'm doing. Any input would be better than my throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks method. Thanks!
April 23, 20224 yr Although the fps display is big and ugly, if you go to options , general, developers mode ON, then you can use the menu on all MSFS screens to turn on FPS display. That FPS display up at the top will also tell you if its is main thread limited (weak cpu), or GPU limited (weak gpu). I believe that increasing rendering will load the GPU and make you GPU limited. Turning on lots of AI and traffic will load the CPU and make you main thread limited. Almost everyone including me seems to believe using ULTRA for offscreen pre rendering is a very good idea. Because it reduces stutters. Because the scenery to your side that you can't see right now is being pre rendered. Which is a good thing. Because then when you turn your point of view (look out the side window etc.), it will not have to load new scenery, because it already has been pre rendered. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

April 23, 20224 yr Even though my system is far weaker than yours, I still use ULTRA side scenery off screen pre rendering. Any other setting I might change to get enough performance. But I never change that one. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

April 24, 20224 yr Shift-Z-stats is a good one though I use the one in Nvidia Experience. I've also used FRAPS in the past. Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)
April 25, 20224 yr Last but not least, Windows key + G gives you an XBox game applet that can show performance info.. including fps. Bert
April 26, 20224 yr Author Thanks much! A couple of options and I tried last night. I had the settings pretty high and was doing 32 FPS. It seems I would get a lot more. Everything I'm buying is 60HZ plus. I've got some work to do. I owned every flight sim up to about 2006 with FSX. My computer skills have slowed in the last 10, or so years as I had no flightsim!
