I don’t have 2024 installed but I watched this video this morning and saved it. Excellent comparisons showing the different looks and impacts of various graphics settings. Some of the settings have very little difference in performance between low and ultra settings, while some have big impact difference but look almost just as good at a lower setting. One of the best of this type of video I have ever seen.

Shame one can't find the graph of settings without having to watch the entire video.

 

there is a slider for that under the video, found that graph after less then 5 secs. just saying

Already forgotten where to put this updated DLSS dll. Hint?

I use DLSS swapper to download and replace that dll. no hint required. at least for me

Thanks, didn't realize it would be this easy to install chosen versions of DLSS. Is there a particular version that is recommended for MSFS2020 or MSFS2024?

Some swear 3.7.x or 3.5.x is best. I always use the latest. Easy as that

An exceptional video for comparison.

My take is (if you have a mid-range system, say 3070 to 4080)...

Buildings = High
Trees = High
Plants = Medium or High
Grass = High or Ultra
Rocks = High or Ultra (ultra looks a little better)
Volumetric Clouds = High or Ultra (but not that much perf savings to go high)
Texture Resolution = Ultra
Antistropic Filtering = 16x
Texture Supersampling = 8x
Waves = High
Raytraced Shadows = Off
Shadow Maps = 2048
Terrain Shadows = 512 or 1024
Contact Shadows = Ultra
Ambient Occlusion = Ultra
Cubemap Reflections = High
Raymarched Reflections = Ultra
Light Shafts = Ultra
Cockpit Refresh Rate = Med or High
Airport Traffic = Med or Ultra
Road Traffic = Ultra
Upscaling = Quality DLSS or TAA

TLOD = 100 to 150
OLOD = 100 to 200

Off-Screen Terrain Pre-Caching = Medium, High, or Ultra (cannot tell enough from his video on this one)

Displacement Mapping = Off (kills frame rates)

 

Here's a simple chart that shows some data that might also be helpful

 

Great video, very helpful thanks. Surprised that some settings have little impact on performance, look forward to playing around in the settings (again).

Trees = High

For me the FPS improves rapidly when I lower the trees from high to medium.
