September 24, 2025Sep 24 I was using Smoothing until 12.3.2 came out and had to revert back to LSS for now. I suspect Laminar will get performance back up during this beta run and I can go back to the NVIDIA smoothing but until then, it's LSS for me.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 Latest beta seems to have killed performance? I was getting 40+ fps with the previous one, but suddenly dropping down to 10-15. Nothing changed except the beta update. Is this a known issue? Is there something I need to review/fix? I had to drop settings to get back acceptable FPS (40-50), but I'm curious why it was working great before.. I have the smoothing in the Nvidia app enabled, but nothing else going on. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Update: The culprits were MSAA and Anistoropic Filtering. In the previous beta, I could run the highest settings texture - Max Rendering Res: Off(full) SSAO: Ultra RCAS: Off Anis.F: 16x MSAA 8x Everything else maxed, draw boats on, 3d vegetation enabled. I was getting 35-50 fps in that. In this version, it dropped to 10-15 fps, until I made two small changes Anisotropic Filtering: 8x MSAA: 4x. That's it. Everything else is still maxed, and I'm back to 35-50 fps (plus Nvidia Smoothing is on). Works great. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
October 11, 2025Oct 11 Because it just did not look good and was totally inefficient, I've stopped using MSAA and switched to FXAA and RCAS. Looks better and is much faster. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days

Hmmm, have to give that one a fair try! What values are you using for RCAS? How do you set it? P.S.: Tried various values of RCAS. Ended at 100% and it's still... fuzzy and super shimmery...

October 11, 2025Oct 11 I've also been playing around with these three settings lately: RCAS, MSAA, FXAA. Using XP12 with my 2D monitor (AG241QG), XP12 looks acceptable in two options: 1) MSAA (2x) + FXAA (ON) + RCAS (100%) 2) MSAA (2x) + FXAA (OFF) + RCAS (0%) When I turn MSAA off, the flickering lines are terrible. Option 2) makes the readability in the cockpit and exterior scenery clearer, but at the cost of more flickering than option 1). This is only in 2D mode. Unfortunately, I'm 100% VR-dependent, and everything still looks very ugly there and not as sharp and clear as in XP11. So I still prefer XP11, where the AA looks much better and the cockpits are very clear. I really miss all the benefits of the new XP12, but for now, in VR mode, it's still XP11. PS.

October 12, 2025Oct 12 Maybe Nvidia doesn't do FXAA and RCAS as well as AMD (on Linux). I have no visual issues with it in both 2D and VR. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
