May be a dumb question here but I have a i9-9900KF and when MSFS is running, it shows only small amounts of CPU usage, spread over the 16 cores. If that shows the CPU’s not struggling to run MSFS, doesn’t it mean that the frame rate / stutter issue is coming from a bottleneck somewhere in my INDEX V…

If it’s not about PERFORMANCE, then what else is there?

The reason for FS2020 DX12 is at least just to make it run on XBox , not performance, which explains why Sebastian is saying in the last Q&A it won’t bring any particular performance to PC (confirming the goal is …
