[challenge accepted!] Easy peasy, just set the Render Scale slider all the way up. Thankfully: the reg hack obviates that in spades. Seriously, do it if you haven't already. Even MrBitstFlyer, who is ultra sensitive for artifacts from 'over' sharpening, likes it.

July 20, 2025Jul 20 I’ll give the sharpening a try, but I’m very picky about image quality, not picky about FPS so long as it’s above 30. FYI, SSAA is not a sharpening process, technically more a blur process to reduce jagged edges. Sharpening process usually involves contrast adjustments. As far as VRAM, I would assume SU3 Beta (which I have not tried yet) LOD curve will increase VRAM usage as more images will be rendered at higher quality. More VRAM usage will be better for performance. Rob Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan
July 20, 2025Jul 20 I went with a 7800x3d, 64gb ddr5 6400 ram and a 4090. At KJFK, EGLC and various high LOD areas I am getting a solid 70-90 fps with FG, beyondatc with traffic, most settings high with taa and dlss FG. Monitor is 100-180 hz freesync ultrawide and I use a head tracker. Also, fs2crew raas, fstraffic models, pacx and a ridiculous amount of payware. I locked the fps at 50 in the cfg file and autofps is set to min tlod of 50 with fps tolerance of 2%. Max tlod is 250 because i dont really care haha. Auto target fps is set and it takes care of the rest. I would stick with amd cpu really. Im glad I did. Just undervolted with a negative curve of 30 using pbo. Stable and keeps it cool. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.

I'm very happy with my 9800X3D. I self built this PC for all in about £3,500 inc new everything. I could have underspecified some elements for sure, a much cheaper case (£150), a 5080 rather than a 5090 (£1,000), lesser rated PSU 800W not 1200 (£100), one 2Tb NVME not a 4Tb and a 2Tb (£400). So, I could have got a very very performant PC for about £1,800, or even cheaper. But the sim devil on my shoulder said don't do it 😄 I think 32Gb VRAM will be enough for a couple of years Rob.

No VRAM-problems anymore and stable 60fps with FG without any stutters, even in EGLL or KJFK with very high settings and Ai-traffic (14700k and 64GB RAM). There is really a profit due to the amount of faster VRAM! After overclocking it's very close to the 4070 in benchmarks (3DMark). MSFS2024 isn't an ego-shooter game - so the RTX 5060ti is a brilliant graphics card for the sim!

My use case would still be 1080p resolution on a 24" monitor. I am not going to be spending ridiculous amounts of money on the top end graphics cards, so I have been thinking about an i7 14700KF/16GB RTX 5060Ti combo. Would this be sufficient to run MSFS 2024 at decent detail levels? A system like this would be significantly more powerful than the i5 7600K/6GB GTX 980Ti powered PC that I am currently using, and that 16GB VRAM should provide me with comfortable headroom @ 1080p resolution. However, I would be interested to know what you guys think about it. There are still certain features/issues regarding MSFS 2024 that I would like to see sorted out, but I just want to prepare myself if/when the day arrives Do not go for Intel !!! Intel is Dead IMO .. I had Intel for years and have sworn by it for years and last year i set up my NEW PC on AMD. After thinking and pondering for a long time about whether I should do this or not, I can tell you now, after a year of using AMD, nothing else, I'll never go back to Intel, I would never have believed it either, but it's true. And I would recommend (if at all possible) a graphics card with 24 GB of VRAM, you're always on the safe side. With anything under 24 GB of VRAM, you always run the risk of it being too weak with today's Simulators, but that's just my opinion. I am so incredibly satisfied with my system (see my specs), everything works perfectly, I can only recommend it ! cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.
