Bad performance in VR even with 3080 (solved)

I dont know whats going on but all after update 9 my sim really runs bad. Even with open XR kit I am not getting the performance I was used too. Tried every tip and tric. Lowered all my setting but I dont really think its running as it was before.
Am I the only one who feels something had changed?

There’s an active thread with the tool kit developer where there are some issues with the latest version and having hardware accelerated GPU scheduling enabled. Maybe check there for some hints and tricks.

Same story here with a 3080 Ti FPS touching 20-26 fps now before update 9 i could get 34-38 is.

Turned all settings down and then its playable. No idea what they did but its noticable.
Also bought the Fenix plane which hits hard on preformance…

I’m going to try uninstalling Fenix A320 and see if that has an effect on the PMDG 737’s FPS as that’s around the same 20-26 now and before getting the A320 it was always over 35 FPS

Massive FPS drop because of SU9 - Bug Reports / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

I’m around 40-45 fps on a 3080ti and 5800X to a G2 for reference. But I need to use a little FOV (wide quality) and final resolution output of 3000x3000 per eye to boost over 40.

Suprised to hear this.
My 3080 with 11700k is doing around 20 in busy airports. In the air its get better.
My fps used to be higher…

Did some more testing here.
Now with my system 11700k 32g 3080 on a reverb2 I got things back ok.
Got lots of settings to high.
I had textures on ultra and that had a massive hit on my performance.
Tlod 200 and detail lod at 200.
With the fenix320 at new york kennedy running great with 25/35 fps in VR.
Live weather off and live traffic on.
Made a cache of 128gig and must say works like a charm here.
Amazing quality and very fluent.
Renderscale at 100 openxr toolkit 100.
I lowered all my settings and went slowly up again.
This works for me now.

I changed textures to Ultra and I think it’s also done the same. Did you drop them back to high? I assume you mean Texture Resolution (the one where the sim has to restart to take effect?)

I have almost identical hardware (11900 v 11700k, but 32g and 3080).

You also say the massive cache made a difference? I ended up turning it off completely. Did it take a while to create the cache?

My FPS is still good (usually at 45 locked with 90% FSR and some FFR) but there is a LOT more stuttering, especially in populated areas at low altitudes.

Do you mean stuttering or actually lower fps?

Hey
Yeah mean texture resolution.
After SU9 the sim was giving to low fps.
By doing so I gained fps back and where able to put the lod back higher.
The cache seems to help need to test more.
Takes a few min…
And noticed that lowering some settings are very beneficial in VR we dont need Ultra.
I have a splendid view and performance now in really hard conditions.
I hava a feeling tha AI traffic and live weather is causing a hit also. Play with that too.
The Fenix is also demanding. But love to fly it!!
How dus it run with you now?
You also play in VR?

No stuttering, lower fps…
