For anyone who has a decent 6000 series AMD card Frame generation is now available with their latest tech preview driver. Testing with MSFS at the moment and its working very nicely. I bet paired with a 5800x3d an end user should see strong performance. Definitely changes the upgrade equation for me now.. No new system for me until late next year for MS2024.

Apparently FSR3 will work on Nvidia cards too if its implemented in game.

Yeah but i guess the question is how long before Asobo takes it on ? It would be nice for it to be included in the next service update but im not holding my breath and this driver based implementation seems to be doing the job.

So i did a test flight from KJFK to CYUL in the Fenix and results were mixed.. high but very variable fps and very bad stuttering on final. Unusable.

Then i started to tinker with the fine tuning.

I turned on Freesync/VRR

I turned off the driver anti lag.. It only added overhead for me.

I turned on the in sim Vsync (Cant use radeon chill or driver based vsync while Frame gen is enabled so this was the workaround to lock the frames) and selected the 50% refresh rate option in order to free up more overhead. My ultrawide refresh rate is 100fps so the 50% option works nicely since i usually lock it at 50fps under normal conditions anyway

Dramatic improvement with more reasonable frame pacing  since resources aren't maxed out and some limits are implemented. I don't need 100fps but i need 40-60 evenly paced frames while landing at high resource airports.. It appears i'm able to get this with some fine tuning so its a keeper for me.

 

Glad i waited for AMD to come through. They don't get much praise around these parts but their 6000 series has been a very good option for folks at 1440p and below

how can fluid frame work when you have Vsync enabled,It will not let me, and AMD also says no Vsync and HDR yet.

huh bullock, it does work, no more tearing!!

Just installed for my RX 6800....haven’t tried in MSFS yet but my XP12 flight around Seattle sure seemed smoother.

Eager to try in MSFS later after dinner.

with screenshots of glass cockpit panel & fps display before and after, @ 4K resolution please. I can't imagine it will challenge Nvidia RTX 4090.

Your advice is working perfectly for me and 6800XT. Yes, it's not a RTX4090 but it also did not cost as much. 

Well, that was an incredibly stupid thing to do.

Now, no matter what settings I use MSFS is stuttering like no tomorrow and the silly GPU cooling fans are going 100 MPH.

And the thing has shut down (entire computer) several times.

WHY do I tweak things that work OK? (Facepalm)

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Sounds like youve got a bunch of issues going on if your GPU is going full pelt and then your system is turning off.

Increased gpu utilization is actually a good thing to have in this sim. It just seems though that in your case something may be amiss configuration wise

Missing Carenados bizjets might be a first hehe

Their C550 wasn't too bad.  I could go for that in msfs.

Also FSW is finalizing their Lear 35 for MSFS.

Yes...all weekend (pre this driver) I was running at 4K render scaled down to 70% with 50% refresh rate...very smooth.

Now....a disaster...even the menu screen is making the GPU fans scream, regardless of resolution.

my 6800 XT and 10900K should be able to run smoothly as they have for 3 years...will just need to reinstall game or drivers or something.

Just uninstall the tech preview driver and reinstall your previous driver. The sim should be fine. Hopefully the in game implementation (If or when it arrives) is more amenable to your taste.

After installing the 23.9.3 driver (newer than what I had) all is well again, smooth as silk. 🙂

i hope this come to the rx5700xt probably next release

Quick question: Has anybody any solid info on whether Frame Generation will come to RTX 3090?
