CPU intensive setting?

Is there a list of the CPU intensive settings compared to the GPU in the graphics settings menu? I want to mainly focus on changes that are CPU bound. Thanks.

Terrain LOD is the single heaviest use of CPU.

Hello there, welcome back to the forum, and thank you for your post!
Your topic has been moved to the Tech Talk subcategory of General Discussion & Community Support.
Tech Talk is where you discuss graphics, drivers, performance, CTDs, and hardware.
The General Discussion category is meant for discussions that fall outside of our other sub-categories.

Please check out these other categories for your future posts:

  • Aircraft
    is where you discuss current or future planes coming to MSFS.

  • World
    is where you discuss scenery, airports, and weather.

  • Aviate, Navigate, Communicate
    is where you ask for help with flying.

  • Menus & Activities
    is where you discuss activities (landing challenges, bush trips, etc), plus anything accessed by the menus including the Marketplace, settings, logbook, cameras, etc

I would put aircraft traffic settings second behind TLOD.
