Actually figured it out. Dynamic settings in sim wasn't playing nice with msfs autofps. Disabled the in sim one and let the app do it's thing and it's much less blurry. Performance is still a bit off but I'm working on it.

Same. Thought I was the only one. SU4 beta was great but ever since the release it's been pretty bad. My ground markings are also blurry at times which I've never had before.

The last update was better but on arrival my FPS still tank. Using autofps helps but it drops the settings to very low just to get my performance back. Don't seem to have as big of an issue at departure but it's still noticeably worse than SU2.

Just had it happen again this time before I even made it off the ground in a different plane. I thought it may have something to do with time acceleration but apparently not. Going back to the main menu and reloading doesn’t fix it. Only exiting the sim entirely. Drivers were updated yesterday so that shouldn’t be the cause.

I've recently started having a problem where when I switch out of MSFS2020 to something else when I eventually bring MSFS back into focus it's just frozen. If I switch back again everything is moving but it's a complete stutter fest even with my normal FPS. I vaguely remember this happening a long time ago but there was a way I was able to get things back to normal but I can't for the life of me remember now. I've been running the same settings forever now. Any idea what might be causing this? It doesn't happen every time but it's happened on enough flights now that it's causing issues. It's usually toward the end of a flight after several switches between tasks. Nothing out of the ordinary with CPU usage or anything.

I had a place where I could get a 150 for $75 in a high cost of living area until recently. The county basically shut them down to protect the bigger more expensive schools and now my next option is easily double. Oh well I don't fly much these days anyway.

So far that seems to be doing the trick. Thanks!

It's running as a background process. When I do the reinstall it works fine again but eventually stops again. When I do multiple flights I often have to kill it in task manager and problems usually start again after.

I'm still having issues with the program not opening even though it's running in the task manager. I've reinstalled probably a dozen times now and it keeps happening. Any ideas?

Edit: figured out most issues. But for some reason it’ll be running at minimum tlod at altitude sometimes. I have vsync on and target fps set at a few below so not sure why it would be doing that. Just completed a flight and it started dropping to my tlod max as I started descending. It stayed at the max even as I was approaching LGA until I got closer to my tlod base. Still no idea why it would be running at the min at cruise.

I've been away for a bit but between the new beta and this tool things are incredibly smooth. My hardware is no slouch but around heavier airports I'd get a lot of stuttering. My only issue is on approach I get a lot of terrain popping now as the TLOD goes down which isn't unexpected. I'm testing out different values to find a compromise. 50 may be a bit too low for visuals.

Does it matter what your monitor refresh rate is set to?

It works pretty good for me but shimmering can be pretty bad at some airports and DLSS is much better. Everything else TAA is great.

So from what I'm gathering someone on a 4090 really won't see much benefit? I usually am on TAA but I get shimmering at some airports. DLSS is better but then I get the weird blurry panels even on quality. No performance difference between either on my setup.

I had decent performance on approach but as I got closer to landing it tanked. When I parked at the D gates looking at the interior my FPS dropped to around 25. The terminal areas are hard on my system and it's no slouch.

I considered doing the 6700k but most people agreed that the extra cost wasn't worth the few FPS I would've gained. Oh well now I know where I can upgrade in the future when I decide to. I still feel like I should be getting better performance than what I'm getting though.

I did the auto overclock with says. It overclocks it about 20% to 4ghz

Around a month ago I built a system for P3D after being away from the hobby for 10 years. Honestly I expected great FPS even with a bunch of addons such as PMDG aircraft, AS16, complex airports such as those by FSDT, etc. I expected perfect textures, no stutters, and basically a perfect experience. This is what i get for watching a bunch of youtube videos lol. Now that my expectations have come back down to earth a bit, I'm wondering what type of performance I can really expect with my system. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/sfgiants13/saved/#view=zNNLrH I have the following addons installed: ORBX Base, OpenLC UTX USA 2 AS 16 & REX texture direct PMDG 737, Ejets v2, Qualitysim 757 FSDT airports, T2G SEA, LatinVFR RDU Mytraffic 6 set to 10% AI I can get around 20 FPS at FSDT KLAS in the ERJ 175 with some clouds, 10% AI, and 5% road traffic. My shadows are off. I've attached photos of my other settings. I was expecting a lot more honestly, but I realize now that's not going to happen. I get crap performance at DFW for whatever reason, but other addon airports I can usually stay stable at 25 FPS. There's some blurries but it's manageable. My P3D.cfg file is mostly untouched. What type of FPS can I expect with these settings? I've been toying with the sim for a month trying to get it perfect and I've completed a whopping 1 flight. It seems like a never ending cycle of trying to get it perfect, getting it decent, something going wrong, then starting fresh with a new .cfg file. Any suggestions you would make to help tweak my system a bit?

I ended up starting from scratch and getting a fresh p3d.cfg. The issue is still there even at default and a 15% ai traffic setting.

I just installed mytraffic and since I've been getting brief moments of black ai textures while they try to load. I'll also get the buildings at the airport shimmer as well. My system is an i5 6600k with 16gb ram and a gtx 1060. Most of this goes on at FSDT klas where I've been testing but I get it at other addon airports as well. I was getting around 23 fps locked with most settings turned up but things like shadows autogen cloud draw etc backed off. Once I added ai at 15% that changed to around 20 with it dropping a bit lower when close to the buildings and near ai. I tried the texturemax load at 6, 21, 24,27,30. All options actually improved my fps a ton but caused stutters so I took it off. Otherwise my Cfg file hadsnt been modified much. What texturemaxload setting is least likely to cause stutters? What else should I be doing so the ai textures and buildings don't stutter or go black while they try to load?

On the LatinVFR website EYW, SNA, SAN, SJU, and RSW are all on sale as well.

Amazing shots! I'm jealous. Your textures look so much more crisp than mine.
