Yes like I told, but not obsessed, before, meanwhile or after, like normal upgrading PCs, if not you can use a 1996 PC with very low graphics and 75 fps. And I doubt much 120fps in VR in the next 10 years of hardware market releases.
February 21, 20251 yr 56 minutes ago, MrBitstFlyer said: The increase in fluidity I get at 120fps is a joy to behold and increases my enjoyment of the sim no end. That's the main thing in this hobby, increasing our enjoyment. I certainly can and have done 120FPS-fg and once again the real difference is paltry to me. The Oracle: Conclusion Locking the frame rate (say, at 60 FPS instead of 120+) can save you ~30% in power consumption during a 3-hour session. The absolute savings may not be massive in dollar terms, but reducing power draw can help with heat and longevity of components. But if you've increased your simjoyment to no end well then what the hey what's a few more kWh 👍 Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

February 21, 20251 yr Administrators OK, everyone knock off the backbiting or another topic goes down the tubes! 🥷 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
February 21, 20251 yr Since we are talking about a hobby (I'm pretty sure) we all can play with FPS the way we want. Personally, I use it as a optimization tool when I'm not cruzin at 60fps. Never did the 30fps thing so no VSync until MSFS 2024 @ 60fps. dd
February 22, 20251 yr I don’t really care about some (not all) users obsession with FPS … to each his or her own … unfortunately that obsession has resulted in junk from nVidia called the 5080/5090: 1. They can’t deliver supply (except to scalpers) 2. They can’t provide a reliable power specification with many reports of melted cables and damaged GPUs and PSU 3. They can’t provide all the working ROPS advertised (168 instead of 176) so some cards operate 10% or more lower 4. They can’t provide significant increases in “actual frames” not fake ones (aka DLSS) This is what we get stuck with when FPS is the only metric of a GPU that consumers care about. EDIT: nVidia report 28% sales to Singapore, yet Singapore customs said they only saw 1% of that? Edited February 22, 20251 yr by CO2Neutral

Your perception of smoothness and realism will include increasing FPS. I never said otherwise, I simply said I never look at the numbers. Im not in your competiton to see who is right and wrong on every subject

Information that FPS is being changed could be useful to them. There is no right or wrong with discussing fps/smoothness, just useful information, so your competition comment is baffling.
