Just checked and the Fenix has this set by default. 

You see Fenix A320 ai planes parked at airports?

I guess it's not so much how fast CPU and GPU are, its more important how well the components are playing together.

First aircraft where my CPU is under harder stress then the GPU

But the load is evenly distributed an all cores

I just followed a video on Nvidia settings because I reseted mine and completely forgot what it was.

Incredible smoothness, for those having trouble with the fenix, give it a try 😄

The advice on monitor refresh rate could be useful. I'm using a 120Hz OLED TV. I set the refresh rate to 50Hz, V-Sync in MSFS and used RivaTuner to fine-tune the max FPS to 40fps.

I did change it to GPU on the fly while in-sim last night but still had terrible lag on the displays.  I will try GPU again along with Performance and see if that is better....I don't think I tried that combo.

Same for me....  I run a 5950X + 3090 OC 3440x1440 everything on ULTRA and had a big boost when switched to GPU rendering displays. 
Some people will even curse me from complaining about "37 FPS" on intense scenery but I've been really spoiled having over 60ish with anything else in the same cirumstances (PMDG and FBW included). Only I was celebrating too early with my 3090 giving the "turbo" for the Fenix... So I realized the displays were crazy laggy. Had to switch back to CPU. However, I noticed one thing: you don't get the display's choppiness when rendered by GPU (in my case) when running in windowed mode. Anytime I hit the Windows button, displays were smooth. Even when popping it up. As soon as you go to fullscreen, crazy lag.

I'm having the same experience, in terms of FPS overall its not that bad but the display are clearly not smotth at all. i7 6700K and GTX 1060 6Gb

Try setting the Render Displays to your GPU and setting the Display Quality to 'Performance' in the Fenix Configurator.  I just tried a short test flight and it seemed better than my flight last night as far as the display lag goes.  I am amazed at the overall smoothness of the plane though. My short test flight out of KDCA up to 10,000 and back around for an ILS landing and there wasn't a stutter to be found sitting right at 30 fps.

Uhm no. Just stated that the Fenix is by default set to not be used as AI…

That is interesting.  I just posted above at the same time you did mentioning I was actually a bit better on my last test flight using GPU for rendering and 'Performance'.

Performance is terrible compared to every single other aircraft released so far. As someone who flies only in vr the fenix is a stutterfest. While I can land the fbw in Heathrow on a busy vatsim day I get fsx performance with the fenix on an empty local airport. Ridiculous. 3090 here. And jaja I tried all the things with modes and render options. The fenix is simply poorly coded

I cannot understand where you guys are getting performance issues. My specs are below, ok i'm on 1080p but it's silky smooth, Not one stutter in a complete 3hr flight, with AIG traffic injection, ATC Chatter, and addon airports at each end of the flight. Locked at 30fps

If you enable IGPU in Bios, make sure you install MS DCH IGPU driver, otherwise testing IGPU will be futile.

Changed to GPU rendering and "Balanced", and my fps went up from an average of ~30 to ~40. Much smoother now. 

CPU Usage went from ~65% to ~45%, GPU is at 92%. 

4K Ultra settings

5600x, 3080Ti, 32 GB RAM

How much uglier is going to balanced in terms of graphics?

The difference is miniscule. You have to zoom all the way in to see the a real difference. Performance mode is very visibly different. 

Balanced is a good "balance", I'd say. I am running at 4K Ultra so that helps keep things nice and sharp.

I’ll give it a try also. Also 4k and ultra

Yeah try it. Nice part is you can make the changes on the fly using the Fenix app, you don't need to reload the flight. Just play around and see what works best for you.
