If 2020 runs great, you don't need a new PC. You need a sim that works properly. 

It's hard to understand how some simmers go out and buy more ram, a new gpu, or even a new computer for a broken sim. I tried to warn some, but most don't read or listen. MSFS was rushed out the door and that's a shame.

I serious doubt that you will see that much of a performance boost with a 5000 series card in 2024. I'm running 2024 on 2080 @ ultra settings and barely cracking 80% load. For the price a 4000 series card would do just as good and save you probably $500 -$1000. Even though 2024 has some quirks, it's runs well for me and I'm enjoying the hell out of it until the fixes come along in the future.

With my 9800X3D I am at 99% GPU load the vast majority of the time. In my system, the GPU is definitely the bottleneck at 4K and everything maxed out.

What is strange is all the promo talk they did about 2024 prior to it's release about how the performance was going to be fantastic compared to 2020, because it was using more cores, etc...  Didn't materialize. 

It runs well or me and I haven't seen any stability issues. My core usage is minimal to about the same as 2020. It's running sooth or me, I'm sure Asobo will fix others that has issues.

I think that you may have something configured incorrectly. I don't think I ever saw 99% GPU load, even with AIG loading at airports.

There's nothing configured incorrectly. I just have a much more powerful CPU that doesn't bottleneck my GPU.

No need for the 5000 series GPU,  IMHO...

I’m with you on this, and…

waiting on the 5000 series could mean lower prices on 4000 series!

So, good to wait for sure!

@mistolip Don't let the tsunami of misery posted here crush your high spirits.

2024 runs fine on the same hardware as 2020 and has far more detail. A better PC means you can enjoy 2024 and 2020 with ultra settings.

I stopped having the need to look at my fps since BATC started including traffic. I have a 7950X3D, 64gig ram, 4090 etc. etc.

 

In 2020 I  get about 60fps in the most demanding situations. So far in 2024 with the same addons I haven't my fps below 72 and the difference in visuals and overall immersion  is quite the improvement.

 

Imagine how 2024 will be looking and flying towards the end of its life cycle.

If you have a capable CPU, GPU running at 99% is not surprising. 

I wonder how good MSFS2024 looks and runs on an Xbox... In Ultra... Would it out perform a 3000 dollar rig?

Don't fall for the FSX FPS chase hardware syndrome with MSFS 2024.

Simply wait for more optimization updates.

I have better performance in 2024 than 2020.

I never check fps. I have a Gsync monitor and things are SMOOTH in MSFS2020. In 2024 I have to stick to medium with a few high settings. I only look at what looks good and what looks smooth. I never ever look at fps.

Will be buying new PC albeit scaled back specs. No need for bleeding edge when cutting edge will run this all just fine...

Does any of the satisfied users run the sim at flat out Ultra?
