I've followed the DLSS 4 Definite guide   

and get real nice frames and quality with max. settings.

However, Nvidia overlay will show between 60 and 180 fps at 98% GPU load in most situations.

However, when limiting to max fps 60 (in Nvida App) as before the DLSS upgrade, in order to achieve lower GPU loads, MSFS24 will not open the selected runway or parking spot, it will stay hovering over the the map for hours.

My PC specs:  7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16GB, 32GB RAM

How to limit fps and get a flight started?

Thanks for any help!

Can you try using Riva Tuner instead of the nVidia app to limit the fps and see if this resolves it?

@xsever: Thank your for your tip.

Have installed (and uninstalled) Riva Tuner from 3DGuru (extensive installation!) twice.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on my PC, no menu or app for any configuration is available.

 

There's only a Global profile available when you first install Rive Tuner, you need to add the profiles for the games you want to control yourself through the add button on the bottom left.

@Lange_666: After both installations I did not find any entry in Windows and opening the installed directory showed 4 .exe files. Unfortunately, none of them I could activate by double-clicking or starting as an admin.

I am running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 updated.

When you start RivaTuner Stats, also start FS 2024, wait for it to load a flight, then go to the RivaTuner apps screen and press SHIFT+Add

A list of processes eliegible will be shown, among which you'll find FS 2024. Choose it and you will get your profile.

@jcomm: Tried your advices, installed RivaTuner again and started it as a MS App. Nothing happened by doing so.

But started MSFS2024 to load flight, tried to find anything about RivaTuner, but there was nothing.

There are 7 *.exe files in the RivaTuner Statistics Server directory but none of them results in any visible reaction except for the 2 different DesktopOverlayHost .exe files which produce a pink rectangle and the Uninstall.exe which is working.

I just don't know how to handle this popular program.

Thanks again for your help!

Did you check your system tray on the taskbar because in general it sits there (normally in the hidden part).



Click on it to open.
Optional install:
If you install MSI Afterburner (the little jet icon) you have the option to install RTSS in one go.
Let MSI Afterburner start with Windows and RTSS will start together with it, minimizing to the system tray.

It should look like this when open:

Not at all necessary:  all the defaults in RTSS Global are essentially the same ones used in NVCP--they defer to the Application Settings and that is most def what you want.  

@Lange-666 with your last contribution: You saved my hobby! That was the ultimate tip! All working now at 60fps, smooth, sharp, most settings at High or Ultra!

And GPU load down 60-80%, Temps 50-60°C!

Thanks again for all your help! Great place here!
