Good day all,

I've been out of the loop of the sims for some months, I had the possibility to assemble a new rig with an 7950x3D, 64gb 6400mhz...I have kept only my 3080ti.

I was wondering what performance can I expect from MSFS with FSTL, Fenix and good sceneries at 1440p? More than 40/60 fps? 

Because at the moment I am quite disappointed and I quite sure that I may have something set wrong.

 

Thanks all

Francesco

We’ll, it depends on all the graphics sliders and how far you push it.

AI-traffic, Fenix and big hubs / PG cities? I think you'd be lucky to have 60 FPS, no matter the system. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Get a 4 series and go FG.

More than 40/60 fps? 

Despite the focus you read here 99% of the time there's more to it than "FPS" for two significant reasons:

1. One can still experience stutters despite high FPS
2. One can experience ultra-smooth, stutter-free animation at modest frame rates.

I have the same screen resolution & GPU as you do, I run all sliders at Ultra except Terrain LOD which demands more CPU than I have, and I use PMDG 738, FBW 320NX and AS CRJ700 and I use FSLTL, but need to drop traffic density well down, which impacts the CPU main thread primarily, so you won't have this issue like I do.  And I have ultra-smooth animation with a frame rate typically locked at 35.  So's you understand I can appreciate a frame rate of 60, I can run at 60 in very modest scenarios in lighter aircraft no problem--and the difference is truly imperceptible. Why?  Because my criteria is not "FPS", it's frame time variance.  With rapid panning and close objects nearby, one will notice the difference between 35 and 60FPS, but for starters in the course of any flight this does not qualify as a significant part of block time experience.  Until you've witnessed this you may find it hard to accept:

I love how Noel gets his presentation out everytime someone asks about performance. 😄

No, depending on settings, more like 30-50

There is. It's called "enjoying the game". And not turning it into a Power Point presentation. 

Thank God MSFS took away the fps counter. 

The best benchmark scenario is FSLTL, Fenix and Inibuilds KLAX.

Why not, it's great info and accurate.

I have 4090 and 7950x3d. With ai traffic(fsltl), tlod 200, nearly all settings ultra, fenix and big hubs(like egll), lots of clouds at 4k, I’m getting 30-40 fps without frame generation and nearly always cpu limited… With frame generation I’m getting about 60 fps at the same scenarios.

I thought about doing that many times but still haven't found the strenght to do so...
