Although I do not intend to move from the 30 FPS limit, by "UserCfg.opt", because 30 FPS is more than enough for me, I decided to commemorate finally being able to load FS 2024 with the latest SU3 flighting and enabled Frame Generation (FG) getting excellent results, so far apparently no display glitches and, I believe, some relief for my CPU / GPU...

Did a full A321LR GMTT - LPPT using also the default AI Traffic and ATC (which I am beginning to opt for most of the time), and had a smooth rewarding flight.

My GPU is a 3060 Ti, but honestly I am considering an upgrade probably by the end of this year, early 2026, only this time AMD for the GPU too - The CPU is alread AMD Ryzen 5600x.

Well, just wanted to share this, and get any feedback from users who also opted for AMD FSR3 and TAA or any other AA mode.

The mystery is what are prices going to be for gpu's at certain times in the future.

For cpu's, well i upgraded 5600x to 5800X3D for $285 via Amazon. They both fit right on an AM4 motherboard. 7800X3D etc. require an AM5 board and different spec RAM. So you would need to buy RAM, board, and cpu. But I did not have to because I went with 5800X3D.

cpu's are cheap. Examples at Avsim. Even a 9800X3D does not cost even $500.

For AM4 then the 5700X3D is about the only X3D choice ($260).

I've done the sim / gpu upgrade thing for years but for my type of flying with the 3060ti / 5900x doing a splended job with the AMD FSR3 AA and 2x FG.

I'm definitely going TAA; DLSS disappointed me. I had the same CPU/GPU/RAM/Resolutin combo as @jcomm, but I upgraded my CPU to a 5700X3D a year ago. Benchmarks appear to favor the 5600X in single-core applications, but in MSFS and P3Dv5 I've seen an improvement with my 5700X3D.

Anyway, with your report, I decided to give FSR3 FG a try, instead of the Lossless Scaling one. Instead of the FSL A321, I used the Fenix A320. However, my VRAM was quickly exhausted (although I use some payware airports and FSHud)...and then, boom: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006). I was thinking about upgrading my 3060Ti to a 16GB 5060Ti. Would this help? I run my sim at mostly medium settings.

Glad to join in this thread as it’s my major issue under SU2. Also using a 3060Ti coupled with a 5800x3d running at 1080p. Using FSR3 with TAA does give me great frames and smoothness but only with default planes. As someone else has stated the Fenix in its unofficial MSFS 24 state quickly exhausts my 8gbs of VRAM. (The PMDG B777s are better by about 1-1.5gbs). All very frustrating as VRAM performance in SU1  wasn’t an issue I noticed and I racked up 200 hours + in the Fenix. Am now parking the sim reluctantly until whatever SU3 brings and the Fenix big update.

I always got buggy external aircraft Shadow with amd frame gen

I haven't had CTDs due to memmory exhaustion so far.

I make flights that don't last more than 2 hrs, mostly in the FSL 321 and bnow the iFly 737 MAX too, but I have done equivalent flights in the Fenix.

I did try FSR3 but reverted to non-FG + TAA and I am good with it. I also quited using Lossless with MSFS becasue I don't really need 60 fps - 30 fps is more than enough ( I remember cinema when I was young used to be 16 or at most 24 images per sencond, and I was more than fine with that even in cinema scope and 70 mm 🙂 )

Oh no, please not this beaten to death endless discussion again. You CAN NOT compare a movie with a digitally rendered game regarding FPS. It is simply not the same...

It's not the same thing, I agree, but I for example don't need more than 30 fps for a flight simulator, my level of demand allows me to save a lot of money on hardware. Everyone can buy and use what suits them best.

My computer 3060ti, Intel 11700F and 16 GB RAM.

I've recently switched to TAA with the AMD frame gen thing. Was DLSS before. Just wanted to try the DSR3 or whatever it's called after seeing a comment about it here - I hadn't been aware of it before. My video card is a 3090ti, which is very powerful and cost me several limbs at the time, but has never been capable of frame gen. That's not bothered me in the past as I'm happy with a smoothish 30 fps anyway.

But the combination of TAA, DSR3 and 2024 is really making me glad I stuck with the 3090. It has 24 gb vram, and I'm getting a very smooth 60 (30) frames now with just the occasional judder courtesy of the sim and it's foibles with the streaming and PG. Running 4k at mostly ultra with the occasional high or even medium for stuff I'm not bothered about, plus TLOD 400 (for all the good that does these days)

I won't be replacing the 3090 until it breaks. I was never enamoured of the 4090, and I wouldn't touch the 5090 with the proverbial bargepole. I've already bought two £2k plus graphics cards (I had a Titan RTX before the 3090) and I'm not planning to do that again. 

Ah it probably helps to that my LODs are both at 100...

The moment you will have locked and rockstead 72FPS (or even more) on your screen, the moment you would disagree with your own statement, that is for sure 😉

The TAA and FSR3 in 2024 works extremely well on my 7900 XT, I only use Lossless Scaling in 2020 now.

The 20GB of VRAM on the 7900 XT swayed me from buying a 12GB 4070 a couple of years ago, that proved to be a wise choice for FS2024.

One question, because I don't really feel easy with all these modern GPU alternatives...

I assume FSR3 is actually a custom AMD frame generation algorithm, right?

In times of FS2020 I used that DLSS swapper app to update the required files for FG, but I never used DLSS swapper again and in FS2024 even when I now switch to FSR3 I don't touch any files. I am using one of the latest driver versions with my 3060ti.
