reset all graphics to medium

I run mine at "high" on an old 4770K system.. You should be at either high or ultra.

My monitor is set to 30hz with vsync on in game.
Haven't been flying in MSFS very long but seems pretty smooth with no stutters.

Mark, use freeware CapFrameX and obtain a capture of what you're seeing.  Here's what you could see, if set up for it, and I would not accept anything less.  You simply hit F11 to start a capture of Frame Time Variance and Stuttering.  Here's the PMDG 737 from pushback to altitude.  This equates to ultra smooth animation w/o stuttering and that includes at arrival airports.   This approach is visibly superior to using in-sim vsync w/ an appropriate divisor in MSFS:

Here is a short capture however w/o my method of frame locking, so wide open.  While the frame rate averages around 47 or so it's nowhere near as smooth as the above locked at 35:

PM me if interested others here have heard this ad nauseum--but often will ignore this under the belief the higher the frame rate the better, which is not always the case, at all.

I will try that!

My old system had a 4770k, worked great for many years with P3D.

Bert we need to get you upgraded.  I thought I had an old system with my 8700K.

It actually runs just fine on my system... the only thing I had to upgrade was the RAM from 8 to 16 GB.

I know it does.
