I’m very satisfied 🙂 I’m fully enjoying the simulator experience. Thanks again to everyone for your support. I hope there are others out there with a similar setup who find this topic helpful!

Yeah, I’ve realized now that my system actually runs much better with higher graphics settings. Frame Generation caused some issues for me, so I turned it off after testing it. I’ve also disabled the FPS limit. So far, everything is running great. What graphics settings would you recommend increasing to put more load on the GPU?

Thanks for your detailed post! I’ve found my sweet spot for now – at least as long as everything keeps running smoothly. I reinstalled DLSS 4.0 and disabled Frame Generation again. I also stopped using AutoFPS, since I noticed that when the TLOD gets too low, raindrops stop showing up on the windshield. Without AutoFPS and Frame Gen, I’m now getting a steady 50 FPS with a great image, and so far absolutely zero stuttering. So yeah, I’ve made a massive improvement overall. I honestly never thought the CPU would be the limiting factor – but hey, I’ve learned a lot about how the CPU and GPU work together now. There’s one last thing I’m planning to do: I’ll find out which of my CPU threads are the strongest or act as the MainThread, and with Process Lasso I’ll bind MSFS 2024 only to those. No way I’m letting the 9800X3D be the bottleneck! 😂

Yeah, I still need to experiment a bit. The CPU is no longer in the red zone, now it’s more in the purple… but the sim looks great and runs really smooth. However, I just had some really strange issues. When I switched to the external view, the camera suddenly started stuttering in a weird way—not the usual stuttering, hard to explain. After restarting MSFS, it was gone… but then it came back again when switching to external view. After a full PC reboot, everything was normal again. Anyway, I’m done for today—that stuff is driving me crazy! By the way, what exactly do you mean by AutoFPS and Frame Generation?

Alright, this is absolutely insane! I took a bit of advice from everyone and made the following changes: LOD 200, Auto FPS set to 30, everything on Ultra (except traffic and such) — and boom, what an incredible experience! I’m honestly blown away right now. The slight stutters are still there (but definitely improved), especially when looking out the side windows, but the sim just looks stunning now. You can’t have it all. It’s a beautiful sight. Thanks again, everyone! What was the issue? No idea — and I don’t even care anymore! I’m just enjoying the new sim now 😄

Wow, hard to believe, honestly — but hey, worst case, the PC crashes or bursts into flames, right? 😄 I’ll definitely give it a try right away. Although I should mention: my GPU is usually sitting at 99% usage, and the CPU is around 30–35%.

First of all, thanks a lot for all the quick and numerous replies – really appreciate the input from everyone! I totally agree with the point that this is about squeezing out that last bit of performance, and maybe I just need to take a step back and actually enjoy the sim for what it is. That said, it’s still frustrating at times. I’ll definitely try lowering the refresh rate as suggested. Right now, I’m getting a fairly stable 50 FPS, but the scenery often looks like trash – almost like I’m flying through Minecraft (okay, that’s exaggerated, but you get what I mean). It should be running smoothly with my setup, but these little microstutters are just strange. Maybe someone else with a similar setup had the same issues and managed to fix them – would love to hear more about that. What I’ll definitely take away from this is to try reducing the refresh rate to 50%. I find it hard to believe that setting LOD and terrain to 200 will actually reduce stuttering, but I’ll give it a shot anyway. At one point, I was even thinking it might require some BIOS tweaks. The visuals really don’t look great at the moment either… but well, it is what it is. I already have AutoFPS installed. But honestly, I can really imagine the crappy servers being part of the problem too – among other things. One quick question: would disabling Bing Maps help reduce the strain on the internet connection and maybe smooth things out a bit? Thanks again for all the advice so far ✈️

Hi everyone, I built a completely new system specifically for MSFS2024 with the goal of running it in 4K at the highest possible quality. Unfortunately, despite powerful hardware, the experience isn’t as smooth as expected. My system: • Ryzen 7 9800X3D • 64 GB DDR5 RAM (EXPO enabled) • RTX 4070 Ti Super 16Gb (Palit) • MSFS installed on a fast M.2 SSD • Windows 11, HAGS enabled, latest Nvidia driver • Latest DLSS version installed via DLSS Swapper • 4K Monitor, 60Hz with G-Sync Current MSFS2024 settings: • Resolution: 4K • DLSS: Quality • Frame Generation: On • Terrain LOD: 120 • Object LOD: 120 • Texture Quality: High • Volumetric Clouds: Ultra • AI Traffic: Completely off • Rolling Cache: 15 GB The micro-stutters are minor, but it’s still not fully smooth. I especially notice it while taxiing to the runway, during takeoff, and on approach to dense city areas. Also worth noting: The dev mode performance overlay often shows “Limited by MainThread”, though it’s usually in the yellow zone with a maximum frame time of around 20 ms. I’m honestly a bit disappointed, as I expected better performance from this build – and I’m hoping some of you with a similar setup might have tips, ideas, or optimizations to suggest. Thanks in advance!
