I have 6600k at 4.5Ghz. In beta I had almost perfect performance, some stutters here and there. CPU load was around 80-90% at all cores. But now my CPU is getting absolutely hammered, even in menu the load is almost 100%. In flight I get 40-50fps but the game stutters like crazy.

I have the same issue. I’m on a 7600 and the stuttering is everywhere, both in flight and menus.

I was not in the beta, but same CPU and same experience here, CPU is absolutely hammered, I get ~50 fps on high-end setting but the stuttering is very bad, dropping below 10 fps ever 10-20 sec. Turning off live traffic and ai cars boats and workers helped somewhat but still very high cpu load and big pauses here and there.

Same here, have a 6800K 4.0GHz with a 2080Ti, CPU getting schmammered. Never seen it so high. Not sure what’s all the sudden happening either.
There was a problem in alpha / beta, not minimizing the download window otherwise the CPU is running at maximum.
I’ve been noticing the same thing. In Alpha my CPU wasn’t hit nearly as hard as it is now. Pretty much 100% usage. It also seems to stutter/freeze every so often during flight (CPU is still hammered during these times, but the GPU usage drops considerably). My CPU is a bit dated now, yes, but when inputting the same settings I setup in Alpha/Beta to live does not give similar usage. Frames are decent outside of the stutters.

I too am suffering a heavier CPU load than in any alpha or beta release. My computer fan blasts away constantly, which did not occur in the alpha or beta releases. Stutters are everywhere, and are notably worse when using SimConnect, such as with Little Navmap.
Regarding Simconnect, Asobo has already acknowledged the performance issues. Some people are theoretizing that the high cpu load is because of overloaded servers.

Thank you! I feel a little better knowing I’m not alone.
I too have the same problem with my I7 7700K with GTX 1080 TI. My processor goes up to 100% for a few seconds which causes me to stutter. it wasn’t that important in the Alpha

7600k @ 5ghz here with a 1070ti. 100% maxed out cpu, especially just after loading into a flight. If I try to move the camera around during the first few minutes of a flight, fps drops down as low as 2fps and makes the sim unusable.

I’m bottlenecked by my cpu in 1080p I5-7600k and GTX 1080; but even in 1440p my GPU is not being used in the slightest but my CPU is being slammed.

yes my gpu usage drops to 0% and cpu 100%

getting hammered on mine. this was definitely not ready to be released.

Yeah in most cases is the CPU what is limiting me on FPS.
I have a 3950X and a RTX2080Super with 32GB of RAM.
I got the same problem here with my I7400 and 1060GTX 6GB. Intermittent my CPU usage goes up to 100% and the frames drops to 1-2 fps. All background applications I quit running just to be sure nothing is interfering but still I got the same.

Looks like I have the same processor as you, but my CPU load is nearly always at 100%. GPU being RTX 2070. But my fps would be in the 10-15 range on low/medium settings.

I put my I7 7700k back in hyper threading.
for me that changes everything.
my processor is running at 50% and stable.
I had removed it for P3D and xplane.
but with this sim I think it should be activated
I solved the stutter by lowering the resolution. I was at 3840 x 2160 and lowered it to 1920 x 1080 with world graphics set to very high… Problem solved.
I achieved quite a bit of improvement by turning off vsync in game and limiting FPS in nvidia control panel to 30 fps (no vsync)
at 1080p res high-end settings, 6600k@4,5ghz nvidia 1070 I have a smooth sim with cpu at 90% gpu at 70 -80 % load, but at least the heavy stutter and big pauses are gone.
Not ideal, I’m sure there is a bug here, but at least I can fly.
