MSFS 2020 and stutters

Having stutters not necessarily has something to do with the frame rates.
However, we now have well established that a constant 60fps with FS2020 is nearly impossible with ANY rig at the moment. So there’s no use whining. The program simply is like that and the Devs won’t be able to change the whole game engine at a point like this. No matter how much you want them to.
Whether that’s due to shoddy programming or simply due to the fact that the complexity and detail level is higher than in other games, is something probably neither one of us here can accurately determine. In any case any comparison with other games is totally useless at this point.

If your rig does not allow you a stutter free experience, it’s far too easy to blame it on the game. So if an answer to a complex problem is too easy, it’s most likely wrong. Especially since other people (me included) obviously do not have that problem and have their system configured differently.

From reading this thread I get the impression that you basically want your opinion validated instead of finding a solution that lets you play the game satisfactorily. Unless of course you only derive your satisfaction from constant stutter-free 60fps (which - as indicated above - won’t happen). In that case you’re beyond help here.

In case actually playing FS2020 is more important to you than that 60fps benchmark - and considering that even cinema uses only either 24fps or 48fps - you might also want to consider listening to some of the tips people tried so hard to give you above:

Let me summarise:

  • deactivate V-Sync in the game and set the V-Sync setting in the NVidia control panel to “Fast”
  • activate G-Sync. This will constantly sync your monitor’s frequency with that of the game and should eliminate stutters.
  • listen to what people tell you. There are always people out there who know more than you do.
  • accept that FS2020 is not any other game and will never be, and don’t fret over stuff you cannot change
  • worry less about performance tools, benchmarks and stuff like that. That’s just statistics and won’t give you a better gaming experience.
  • check out this thread. There’s really useful information in it:
