December 9, 2025Dec 9 How many of you are like me? As soon as I get a CPU upgrade, GPU upgrade or Sim update, instead of enjoying the performance gains, I gradually crank up the visual settings or add scenery until I lose them again. I've not done anything to SU4 yet, but I'm sure I probably will over the next few days 🙂 because I lock at 60 FPS with 2X FGR I will not notice any framerate gains, so smoothness is what I hope to see and it looks like from my early testing, things do look somewhat better i that department - until I start to tinker again 🙂 Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)
December 9, 2025Dec 9 I got my new GPU, first flight exact same settings to see the difference (not just in MSFS but other games/Sims) then just went hell for leather and increased everything....still got headroom to spare so I'm living life right now! Pretty much got MSFS24 dialled in to where I want it to be, AutoFPS bumps up TLOD to 400 as well as Ultra clouds so I cannot complain and all in VR, but the GPU is barely breaking a sweat! Pico Neo3 Link VR - Windows 11 64bit, Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Elite Mobo, i7-10700KF CPU, Gigabyte RX 9070 XT OC 16gb (AMD GPU), 32gig Corsair 3600mhz RAM, SSD x2 + M.2 SSD 1tb x1 Saitek X45 HOTAS - Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals - Logitech Flight Yoke - Homemade 3 Button & 8-directional Joystick Box, SNES Controller (used as a Button Box - Additional USB Numpad (used as a Button Box)

December 9, 2025Dec 9 I received my 5090 last weekend so did give it a test, Ultra settings still but resolution up from 1440p to 4k - testing with an without frame gen - which is a game changer for flight sims.

December 10, 2025Dec 10 There's a term for it, Tinkeritus. It's the uncontrollable urge to adjust something, anything, to squeeze out just a little bit more performance. The results, more often than not, are varying levels of frustration when it doesn't reach the nirvana level of performance. It often gets triggered by several things: 1. New version of the software 2. New hardware 3. A new post and/or video However, none of these need to occur in the most severe cases. 🙂 I9-9900, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3090 FTW
