Other software use graphics (browser etc). Not only games…
Have you changed anything on these settings since SU2?
Why you use TAA instead of FSR?
TAA offers much better quality. FSR 3 is blurry.
I wanted to share this post I made over on another thread as it has made a HUGE difference to the overall smoothness I have with my 9070XT/ 7800X3D/ 64Gb combo.
Most of you probably already know this, but this was a bit of a revelation for me and has killed off the last of the microstutters I was experiencing.
I also find my CPU and GPU far less busy, and there is plenty of headroom on the card even at 4K TAA… The 9070XT really is an absolute powerhouse for the $ in Flight Sim 2024…!

Glad to hear that. I had used AMD gpus for my last three builds but for my newest flight sim build I splurged and got a RTX 5090!
Really happy to hear you are doing so well with the 9070x. What monitor are you using?
@Vongole833196 : I tested your suggestion on my 9070xt and the result is very good.
- very good fluidity
- almost no stutters
with very high quality settings in msfs (Tlod 400 / Olod 200)
I’m trying to summarize the settings you’re suggesting, let me know if that’s correct…
The idea is to fix frame rate at 60 fps on screen and in game and use AMD Adrenaline FSync for synchronisation
In Windows 11 :
Settings / System / Display / Advanced display :
- Choose a refresh rate : 60 HZ
- Dynamic refresh rate : Disabled
On the screen OSD :
- Disable GSync (or FreeSync)
In AMD Adrenaline software :
Games / Games / Profile Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 :
- Radeon Enhanced Sync : Disabled
- Wait for vertical refresh : Always ON (it’s VSync)
- Radeon FreeSync : Disabled
In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 :
Settings / General / Graphics :
- Anti-Aliasing : TAA
- Max frame rate : 30
- Frame Generation : AMD FSR 3
- Frame multiplier : 2X
- VSync : Disabled
Restart computer before testing

Anyone using 9070 instead of 9070 XT? If so, how is it’s handling ?
I am debating on 9070 vs 9070 XT. In my area price difference is about $120. 9070 is more energy efficient so wondering if that is a better route or if I will regret not getting XT.
My personal advice is to take an XT model, OC is even better, because msfs 2024 is very demanding
What is the rest of your system? Any plans to upgrade?
My 7800X3D & 64Gb does not push the 9070XT to its limits even at 4K native TAA. (I am always main thread limited).
CPU is 12th Gen i9-12900K (16 Core / 24 Thread). Base of 3.2GHz / Max Turbo 5.20 GHz )
RAM is at 32GB
I am currently on 5700 XT. No other plan for upgrades other than GPU. Can upgrade RAM if needed but so far did not see a need for it. Do you find MS ever using more than 32GB RAM?
You’re not going to push a 9070XT to its limits in most scenarios with that cpu (I rarely see more than 70-75% GPU usage) but I personally would still get the XT. Or you could consider the 9070 and a RAM upgrade.
I went 32->64 and I have found the sim a lot smoother. Rarely does it say it’s using more than 32 but hugely reduces stutters, no doubt about it.
I propose alternative settings that uses GSYNC instead of the VSYNC method.
This is for people who have a GSync display.
Scenario: Limit the frame rate to a constant 60 fps and use GSYNC
Pros :
- Very good fluidity, even when panning (better than with the VSYNC method)
- Constant frame rate
- No stutters
- you can set a very high TLOD / OLOD
Important note : To enable GSync in Windows 11, both GSync and VSync must be enabled simultaneously
In Windows 11 :
Settings / System / Display / Advanced display
- Choose a refresh rate : 60 HZ
- Dynamic refresh rate : Disabled
On the screen OSD :
- Enable GSync (or FreeSync)
In AMD Adrenaline software :
Parameters / Display / Display Options :
Adaptative Sync Compatible -or- AMD FreeSync Prenium -or- AMD FreeSync : Enabled
Games / Games / Profile Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 :
- Radeon Enhanced Sync : Disabled
- Wait for vertical refresh : Always ON (in Win11, VSync must be activated for GSync to work)
- Radeon FreeSync : Enabled
In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 :
Settings / General / Graphics :
- Anti-Aliasing : TAA
- Max frame rate : 30
- Frame Generation : AMD FSR 3
- Frame multiplier : 2X
- VSync : Disabled
To limit stutters in very dense areas :
- Dynamic Settings : Enabled
- Frame rate target : 30
Restart computer before testing
Now you can set a very high TLOD / OLOD in msfs 2024
and enjoy a very good fluidity without stutters
Caution: Each time you install a new version, check the settings in Amd Adrenaline / Msfs 2024 profile

If you haven’t done so yet, join this thread. Maybe the developers will solve it faster.

That’s very interesting. My 3090 Ti is the bottleneck with my 7950X3D and 64GB RAM.
With 4K mostly Ultra it always runs at close to 100% load. I’ve known for a while that a new GPU is in my future. The 3090 Ti is a good one, but it’s being outclassed by newer models (as expected, considering its age.) Sounds like the 9070XT is a winner.
It will be at least a year before I make a switch.
Yeah honestly it’s exceeded my expectations in 2024. It seems it performs close to a 5080. link
The only complaint that I have is currently there is a bug where you get some nasty rendering artefacts on aircraft at night. I am sure it will be fixed in the next few months though.
Also struggling to get really good VR performance but this could be a ‘me’ problem as most of the guides I have found are pivoted towards nVidia cards and this is all new to me. (If anyone has any tips or a good guide please share!)
I really want to upgrade my 4070ti to either a 7900xtx or a 9070xt, but I would have to buy a brand new PSU and rewire the entire PC. Too much hassle right now.
4070 Ti TDP = 285
9070 XT TDP = 304
7900 XTX TDP = 355
Surely your current PSU isn’t 70W away from max load. If so, you need a new one anyway.
I have a 1000W Corsair PSU, but the power connectors on AMD cards requires 2X8 pin or 3X8 pin, compared to the 2X6 pins on the 4070ti. The outlet on my PSU required for the AMD cards aren`t there.
