Hello all,

I'm starting a new thread from my last one because I believe starting a new thread is better than adding to the previous one. But just in case, you can refer to that thread here.

In that thread, I asked if I could expect a steady 30 fps in a busy airport at 1080p (limited by my monitor at the moment) with a complex airliner using this new system:

• Intel(R) Core(TM) 14th Gen i9 14900KF (24-Core, 68MB Cache, 2.4GHz to 6.0GHz Thermal Velocity Boost)
• GeForce RTX(TM) 4090, 24GB GDDR6X
• 2x32GB, DDR5, 5200MT/s
• 2TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive

The general feedback was that I could expect to achieve closer to a steady 80 fps under those conditions. However, I'm not achieving that, so I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with my settings and would appreciate any feedback on them.

For reference, this is in:

• Flightbeam KSFO
• Fenix A320

Here are some screenshots:

Link 2
Link 3

Results with 50 AI Planes:

Link 2

With 0 AI Planes:

These results are obviously below what I was told to expect. I respect those opinions, so I feel that something is happening with my setup or my system.

I would appreciate any feedback you may have. As I stated in my previous post, I have a window to return the computer and buy something else, but the clock is ticking on that.

Thanks,
Daniel

 

 

 

 

 

What is your FPS right now?

Update  NVidia drivers

Go on NVidia control panel and restore everything to the defaults.

I see that frame generation is off, that should be ON.

I would delete this file UserCfg file located at C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCach, no worries it will create a new one as soon as you start  the sim, 

 

Let  us know.

Hi @LRBS,

Thanks so much for your reply.

 

FPS is

• 45 with 50 ai @ SFO (image=Link 2)
• 55 with 0 ai @ SFO (image=Link)

 

Okay, drivers updated.  

Frame generation gives me about 57 fps with no ai

I'll try deleting the UserCFG - thanks.  Will that clear my control bindings?

 

Doesn't it look like I'm CPU, rather than GPU bound?  Main thread being the limiting factor from Link 2 and Link. I'm new to this but watch a few videos, so I could be reading this wrong.

 

Again, thanks for your help,

Daniel.

No, just the video.

The FPS counter in MSFS2020/2024 is not an ideal option. For better reading, enable Nvidia Overlay: Confirm that the Nvidia overlay is activated in your Nvidia settings.

View FPS: The FPS will appear in the top right corner of the screen. 

 

 

Let us know, please.

Thanks very much.  I'll jump right into this after work tomorrow.

Something strange is going on for sure.  I get horrible screen tearing with Frame Generation on, even with V sync enabled.

I agree, Vsync should be off in the MSFS2024

Update: UserCfg file deleted and computer and sim rebooted.

Unfortunately no performance change.

But thanks for suggesting that - I wouldn't have known to try deleting it.

I wonder if it is related to the video cable between your monitor and video card. 

Please check the refresh rate in your Windows system. Go to Settings, then Display, and select Advanced Display to ensure the refresh rate it is set correctly. This will drive me nuts.

Additionally, in the NVIDIA app, make sure that "Automatic Tuning" is turned off. Then, go to the "Graphics" section, select MSFS 2020/2024, and optimize the game settings.

 

Other than that, I can't think of anything else. Sorry

Thanks so much for the advice.  I followed your guidance but unfortunately wasn't able to make any headway with performance.  Since I have a narrow window closing, I've decided to return the computer for a refund. It's almost certainly something I'm doing, but I don't seem to be smart enough, or have enough time, to figure out what I'm doing wrong.  It could also be my expectations were too high, but I expected for $6000 I'd be able to run a complex airliner in a busy airport with a reasonable amount of traffic @ a steady 30fps; I don't feel like the value is there otherwise.

Appreciate your help @LRBS!

Get an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D or for quite a few dollars less the 9800X3D (less power draw and lower temps off set by slightly less FPS)  - the 80 FPS you seek is guaranteed with either.

I don't have the Fenix Airbus but I hear it is a fps hog.
