I asked Grok what I could expect upgrading my system with an RTX 5090 but using only TAA and not DLSS FG. I was shocked to see that I could still see FPS as low as 35fps in some instances. I'm on a RTX 3090 and I've moved on to VR so I will get one. I'm keeping a close eye on Best Buy and If I'm lucky and get one in the chamber I've already decided to pull the trigger. Here is what Grok said: To estimate the raw FPS improvement when upgrading from the RTX 3090 to the RTX 5090 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS 2020) in VR using TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) instead of DLSS, we need to focus on the GPU's raw rasterization performance and exclude any AI-based upscaling or frame generation technologies like DLSS. This is a more challenging scenario for the GPU, as TAA relies entirely on the GPU's native rendering capabilities without the performance boosts provided by DLSS. Let's break this down based on available benchmarks, community feedback, and the specific demands of MSFS 2020 in VR with your Pimax Crystal Light headset. Key Factors for Raw FPS Improvement (TAA Only) GPU Rasterization Performance: The RTX 5090 offers significant improvements in raw rasterization performance over the RTX 3090, thanks to its Blackwell architecture, increased CUDA core count (21,760 vs. 10,496), higher memory bandwidth (1,408 GB/s vs. 936 GB/s), and faster GDDR7 memory. In general gaming benchmarks (non-VR), the RTX 5090 provides a 20-50% performance improvement over the RTX 4090 in rasterization-heavy workloads. Compared to the RTX 3090, the improvement is even more substantial, often ranging from 70-100% in GPU-bound scenarios without DLSS. VR-Specific Demands: MSFS 2020 in VR, especially at the Pimax Crystal Light's high resolution (2880 x 2880 per eye), is extremely GPU-intensive. Without DLSS, the GPU must render every frame natively, which significantly increases the workload. TAA is less demanding than raw rendering without any anti-aliasing, but it still requires substantial GPU power to maintain high frame rates at ultra-high resolutions. CPU Bottleneck Considerations: Your Intel Core i9-10900K (overclocked to 5.2 GHz) is a capable CPU, but MSFS 2020's CPU demands in VR can still cause bottlenecks, especially in dense areas or with complex weather conditions. In GPU-bound scenarios (e.g., flying over less dense areas), the CPU bottleneck will be minimized, allowing the RTX 5090 to deliver its full potential. However, in CPU-bound scenarios, the raw FPS improvement may be limited. PCIe 3.0 Limitation: Your motherboard's PCIe 3.0 slot may slightly reduce the RTX 5090's performance, but this impact is minimal (typically 5-10% in extreme cases) and unlikely to be a major factor in MSFS 2020 VR with TAA, as the game's performance is primarily GPU-bound at high resolutions. TAA vs. DLSS: TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) is a traditional anti-aliasing technique that smooths edges by blending frames over time. It is less computationally intensive than raw rendering but still requires significant GPU power compared to DLSS, which uses AI to upscale lower-resolution frames. Without DLSS, the RTX 5090's performance advantage over the RTX 3090 will be based solely on its raw rendering capabilities, which are still substantial but less pronounced than when DLSS is enabled. Estimated Raw FPS Improvement (TAA Only) While exact benchmarks for MSFS 2020 VR with the RTX 5090 using TAA are not widely available, we can make an informed estimate based on the following: General Rasterization Performance Gains: In non-VR benchmarks, the RTX 5090 has shown a 70-100% performance improvement over the RTX 3090 in rasterization-heavy workloads without DLSS. For example: In games like Assassin's Creed Mirage or Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail at 4K resolution, the RTX 5090 delivers approximately 69-111% higher frame rates compared to the RTX 3090 when using traditional rendering techniques like TAA. VR workloads are more demanding, but the scaling should be similar in GPU-bound scenarios, as the primary limitation is the GPU's ability to render high-resolution frames. MSFS 2020 VR-Specific Estimates: MSFS 2020 in VR with TAA will benefit from the RTX 5090's increased CUDA cores, higher memory bandwidth, and improved rasterization efficiency. Based on the performance scaling observed in other high-resolution and VR workloads without DLSS, you can expect the RTX 5090 to deliver approximately 60-80% higher frame rates compared to the RTX 3090 in MSFS 2020 VR using TAA, assuming ultra settings and the Pimax Crystal Light's native resolution. This estimate is slightly lower than the DLSS-enabled scenario because TAA does not leverage the RTX 5090's advanced AI capabilities, relying instead on raw GPU power. Mitigating Factors: CPU Bottleneck: In CPU-heavy scenarios (e.g., dense urban areas or complex weather conditions), the i9-10900K may limit the performance gains. In these cases, the raw FPS improvement might be closer to 40-60%, as the CPU becomes a more significant limiting factor without the frame rate boosts provided by DLSS. Settings and Optimization: If you reduce graphical settings or use lower VR resolutions, the performance gap between the RTX 3090 and RTX 5090 may narrow, as the GPU becomes less of a bottleneck. Practical Example Let's assume the following baseline performance with your current RTX 3090 in MSFS 2020 VR using TAA: Frame Rate with RTX 3090 (TAA): Approximately 25-35 FPS at ultra settings with the Pimax Crystal Light (based on typical community reports for high-resolution VR headsets without DLSS). Expected Frame Rate with RTX 5090 (TAA): In GPU-bound scenarios (e.g., flying over less dense areas or with optimized settings), you could see frame rates of 40-60 FPS, representing a 60-80% improvement. In CPU-bound scenarios (e.g., dense urban areas), the improvement might be more modest, potentially 35-50 FPS (a 40-60% improvement). These estimates align with the general performance scaling observed in other VR workloads and the RTX 5090's rasterization capabilities. Comparison to DLSS-Enabled Scenario With DLSS enabled, the RTX 5090 can leverage its advanced Tensor cores and AI capabilities, potentially delivering a 70-100% improvement over the RTX 3090, as discussed in the previous response. Without DLSS (using TAA), the improvement is more modest because the RTX 5090's AI-based features are not utilized, and the performance gain relies solely on raw GPU power. Final Verdict Upgrading from the RTX 3090 to the RTX 5090 in your system for MSFS 2020 in VR using TAA will likely result in a 60-80% raw FPS improvement in GPU-bound scenarios, translating to significantly higher and smoother frame rates. However, in CPU-heavy scenarios, the improvement may be closer to 40-60% due to the limitations of your i9-10900K. If you want to maximize the benefits of the RTX 5090, consider the following: Monitor CPU Usage: Use tools like MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor to check if your CPU is bottlenecking performance in MSFS 2020 VR. If CPU usage is consistently near 100%, upgrading to a newer CPU (e.g., Intel Core i9-14900K or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X) and a compatible motherboard (e.g., with PCIe 4.0 or 5.0) would further enhance performance. Optimize Settings: Experiment with MSFS 2020's graphical settings to balance performance and visual quality, especially if you encounter CPU bottlenecks. Overall, the RTX 5090 will provide a significant upgrade for MSFS 2020 in VR, even when using TAA instead of DLSS, making it a worthwhile investment if you're aiming for the best possible VR experience with your Pimax Crystal Light. Let me know if you'd like further clarification or assistance!

This is what Grok says: Don't worry, you can return all your files! All your files like documents, photos, databases and other important are encrypted What guarantees do we give to you? You can send 3 of your encrypted files and we decrypt it for free. You must follow these steps To decrypt your files : Write on our e-mail :worldwar2023 @onionmail .org 2 telegram id : @Arethey14 15 web pages This message appears to be from a ransomware attack, where your files are encrypted and the attacker is offering a way to decrypt them. Here's how to approach this situation: Understanding the Scam: Lack of Guarantees: There are no real guarantees provided in such scenarios. The promise to decrypt three files for free is a common tactic used by ransomware operators to prove they can decrypt your files, but it does not ensure they will decrypt all your files after payment. Email and Telegram Contact: The email [email protected] and Telegram ID @Arethey14 are likely used to communicate with victims. Onionmail.org is noted for being an encrypted and anonymous email service, which can be used for illicit activities like ransomware. Steps to Consider: Do Not Pay the Ransom: Paying the ransom does not guarantee you'll get your files back. Moreover, it encourages more criminal activity. Disconnect from the Network: If you haven't already, disconnect the infected computer from any network to prevent further spread of the malware. Identify the Ransomware: Try to identify the specific ransomware strain by looking for any unique file extensions added to your encrypted files or by reading the ransom note's content. This can help in finding potential decryption tools if they exist. From Web Information: The tactics described are similar to those used by various ransomware strains like Info, Delta, CUM, DT, and others, which use .onionmail.org addresses for communication. However, no direct mention of "worldwar2023 @onionmail .org" or "Arethey14" was found in the web results provided, suggesting this might be a new variant or unrelated scam. Search for Decryption Tools: Check reputable sources like: Emsisoft's Decryption Tools: Visit emsisoft.com/ransomware-decryption-tools for any tools that might work for your ransomware strain. No More Ransom Project: Look at nomoreransom.org for decryption tools; they collaborate with law enforcement and cybersecurity companies. Backup and Recovery: If you have backups, this is the time to use them. If not, consider this a lesson to back up your data regularly. Professional Help: If the data is critical, consider consulting with cybersecurity professionals. They might have insights or tools not available to the public. Do Not Comply with the Ransom Note: Avoid following the steps suggested by the attackers. Sending files or engaging with them might lead to further compromise. Report the Incident: Report to authorities or cybersecurity organizations to help track and potentially dismantle these operations. Remember, the safest approach is not to engage with the attackers. Use this opportunity to enhance your cybersecurity measures, including regular backups, up-to-date antivirus software, and education on phishing and malware prevention.

I was originally going with the quest 3 but the usual suspects changed my mind and I got the Crystal Light instead. My experience is, if you are a busy person (I am), the two weeks is not long enough to get to the CL sweet spot for your hardware. It took me more like a month but I'm very happy with it. I settled on running it at full resolution and tuned to about 40fps which I think is 80 in the headset at 90hz upscale (lab) and I run it a full resolution. I may be getting a 5080 at least very soon.

MSFS2020 Fails to Start
FBW737 replied to jmdriskell's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
It's the end of civilization as we know it! 😁 -
Well someone sure as hell lied because they all told us it was awesome pre-release but it turned out to be a pile of dog word not allowede. Yeah but you're right we all know that sales people never knowingly mislead us and people who have influence don't accept payment to leverage that influence against the consumers interest. My bad.

Those bloggers and influencer's who got invited to the grand canyon. The gamer guys and the VR guys especially all lied through their teeth and got paid to do so. If there experience of MSFS2024 was generally the same or worse than ours (how could it be otherwise) Then they plain and simple lied. Typically you have to pay people to lie.

I'm on my second Xbox Games pass $1 trial. SO after this update I took my usual VFR test flight from Swanson to Vashon in PNW in the Stock C172 with the Pimax Crystal light, back to back in 24 and 20. On its own I wouldn't give MSFS 2020 10 out of 10. There is loads of room for improvement in VR. Especially in performance. But for the sake of comparison generally Speaking MSFS 2020 getting 10 out of 10, I'd give MSFS 2024 4 out of 10. In every way I've looked at it with one exception. I find 2020 seriously superior to 2024. Loading time is the exception. But I've found loading time with MSFS 2020 has improved or at least appears to have improved much lately. I have a feeling this might be an unmitigated disaster for Microsoft flight Simulator. It's as bad or worse than the whole Microsoft Flight thing and might spell the end of the franchise yet again. If anyone wanting to get into FS asked me which Sim to get 20 or 24. I'd say definitely 20! And I think that answer will be unchanged for far to long for 2024 to survive.
