Please can someone remind me.

I've just managed to get hold of a 5080 to replace my 3080 which I have been using the framegen mod on.  Can anyone tell me if I need to remove the 2 dll files I put in the content folder or will the new 5080 just ignore them and use its inbuilt frame gen?

I can't remember whether one of them was a replacement dll or a new dll offhand 

Thanks.

Installed the 5080 and the Framerate multiplier is greyed out, I've removed the 2 files relating to the fake FRG yet it still looks like msfs24 is trying to use them rather than the inbuilt Nvidia FGR.  Hope someone can chime in with some ideas.  Thanks

Disclaimer, I am no expert on the subject but I recently upgraded from a 3080Ti to a 5080. I did remove the dlssg_to_fsr3_amd_is_better.dll and the version.dll files from my MS2024 Content folder since I now have native DLSS and frame generation. I have my 2024 sim settings Anti-alising = Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution, Resolution = Quality, Frame Generaton = NFIDIA DLSS, Framerate Multiplier = 2X. I cleared my shader caches per Island Sim Pilot's March 19, 2025 video on YouTube (ignore the Profile Inspector portion of the video). Finally, in the Nvidia App I set the DLSS Override-Frame Generation to 4X to take advantage of the 50 series capabilities. It's a trial and error type of exercise to take advantage of your new acquisition. I tried setting framegen to 4X inside the sim and that did not work at all well. Good luck!

Have you unchecked the Vsync box?

sorry to derail the thread slightly - but how is the jump in performance when going from 3080ti to 5080?

Somehow, I seem to have copied the 2 fake framegen files instead of moving them, so I've now deleted them along with the log file.  All now serms OK, so thanks for your help 

EGLD - Ive gone forn a 3080 rather than a TI.  I had most of my settings on medium or high previously and have now banged everything up to ultra and so far just tested over London (which was my worst performing area) and all seems OK so far, but I need to do a lot more testing to be sure.

Interestingly, my 750 watt PSU seems to have coped fine with the GPU upgrade so far. I was expecting to have to upgrade this.

Next upgrade will have to be a new CPU which will involve an expensive CPU, MOBO and 32 or 64 gigs of decent RAM - not looking forward to a big spend like that though for a while 

Funny. I did the upgrade from 3080 to a 5070ti planning to upgrade my motherboard+CPU way later on.

It doesn't last long. Even if it worked fine with my relatively old Intel 10709kf, 2 weeks after the GPU, I bought a B650 MB and an AMD9800X3D with 64GB 😉

I mean, once you're in the upgrade process, it's part of the sim addiction to keep upgrade or improve to enjoy smoothness sim ride.

my approach has always been to avoid individual GPU, CPU or RAM upgrades, and instead (less frequently) just build a whole new system when I feel I'm a generation or two back on GPU and CPU

my current system was built when 3080ti was the best buy, so I think I'm approaching new PC time

I made the jump

And loving it.

Well worth it .using autofps also

No dx12 smooth but too many graphical annomolies.

Im on dx11 and TAA

Heavy aircraft and airports.

Butter smooth

Im thinking of doing the same, you have with the performance from the GPU upgrade, thanks
