That video is very helpful - also - each user must make his/her own choices when setting up MSFS.
I always turn on the FPS meter and start with the Default ‘Medium’ generic setting in MSFS (after going through the OS, GPU, and setting up the fan speed curves in MSI Afterburner…)
Once I can see what that medium setting gets me I then start to slowly dial up some specific graphic settings to suit MY preferences and in accordance with the video above that offers some comparisons between ‘ultra’ ‘high’ and ‘medium’ wrt to clouds, water, trees, LOD, and the other individual items that can be tuned, always checking the FPS as I go. I think the biggest common mistake in this area is when users try to start from the maximum and never really have a smooth experience. Some will start grumbling as they dial back random settings to get the sim to give a smoother experience then come in here to rant about why their FPS is lower than expected and why their fancy new Uber rigs are stuttering away. Watch that video because it DOES help…
