actually I am starting to think, the AMD based CPUs seeing better performance than the Intel based ones :/. I am pretty sure in my next build, I will switch to team red
Yeah, somethingās not right there for you and I say that purely because your 2080 should be giving you far better results, especially at 1920 x1080, than youāre getting right now.
I hear you , I genuinely lost days fighting with X-Plane trying to get that to behave. Good luck 
Did you find the stuck container ship?

I think is the CPU problem that I have, I barely get limited by the GPU, everytime the CPU is the problem. However, that wasnāt a problem for me pre SU3 update, after SU3 update has screwed my CPU big times 
Well thatās a whole new subject in itself and an emotive one at that. I think you have to look at what you use your computer for , and then figure out whatās the best option for you and your budget.
Besides, Iām not convinced itās due to your CPU as thatās a hefty and fast old lump of silicon you have in there. I just think this simās not working well enough to get the best out of certain combinations of components right now. I run normally at 3440 x 1440 and Iām well and truly GPU bound as the Dev Mode CPU counter loves to tell me 
yeah the sim is really not enough optimized. What makes me sad is, pre UK update, the sim on my machine was super smooth, fast, no stutters ā¦ etc. Now I feel we are back to the release days with the performance issues 
I played it last night after the update. Frames were as good as I have seen them.
PLEASE donāt brake it again.
Just performed a very long (nearly 3 hours) VFR flight and didnāt experience any noticeable stutters. I think that this new patch solved these issues for me. Sim is really smooth now, very enjoyable. Thanks ASOBO.

For āconvenienceā I am keeping a Record of all Updates and SDK releases, by year, in a single. updated post, that makes it really easy to search across all Updates, to find anything of interest.
(This is an Unofficial list, but is most convenient to see all Update Notes in a single, searchable Post")
Obviously, the Patch notes for Patch Version 1.14.6.0 are included in the 2021 Post

to all guys with good performance and no stutter:
what Nvidia Driver do you use and what are your nvidia settings? you changed anything from stock stettings?
Hi there. Iām on the latest GameReady version 461.92. Running RTX 2070 SUPER (GAMING X from MSI) @ 1440p. Did some adjustments in Nvidia driver, running sim on ULTRA, vsync locked at 30FPS, both LOD set to 200.
Hi Lincoln, Thank for your reply. You are right. But I did not change by myself from C to H. My original installation was in H. But when this update triggered, it was showing the installation destination is within Cā¦ Then I have pointed to H. Later on, I have cancelled the update and manually located the āpackageā folder in the original installed folder in H and then it recalculated it was close 158 MB at the end. My question is, why the update was pointing me to install in C instead of itās original folder? Now all good. Thanks.

Its not full ultra its a mix of custom settings between high and ultraā¦ To be honest on the settings before patch cityās that have a large density with buildings (like NYC and London) i would get about 30 fps or more it ran fine. Plus its scaled down from 4k its like 3.5k lolā¦ it think its at 70-80 rendering scale. Plus running full scale 2k maxed out made no difference in FPS to what settings i am running now before the latest patchā¦thatās one of the reasons I bumped it up to 4k
I agree with you FS 2020 is a beast to runā¦But before the last 2 patches I no issues 11+ hour flights with no CTDās or hang ups. Iāve been running the same Overclock settings since day one launchā¦ temps are fine 60c or lower on the cpu and the 2080 super sits at 65-70c. I should clarify better I run a mixture of ultra and high settings on 4k thatās scaled down to about 70-80 on the rendering. Its pretty much like running 3K-3.5K lol and i also tried 1440p and no Overclocks still have the CTDās. I am going to do more testing today but i dont really feel like redownloading 120+ gbs again it would be my 2nd time reinstalling FS 2020 and as per ram I actually going to a 64gb setup just got to order it from Newegg
At times like this, I would like to see ship traffic live
I have similar specsā¦i9-10900k, 2080super 64gb
Ultra with textures at 100, not 200. Locked at 30 with vsynch on. Drops below 30 a little over cities. With terrain at 200, its 15 over cities. That is a lot worse than pre-SU3. But the new patch has made it at least playable.
I switched in spring 2020. For laptops Intel CPU are still better, but on PC Intel is just expensive. My experience: overclocking with AMD is (too) easy, my mainboard does it by default. But you may step back a little. My 3300X CPU runs official 3.8GHz, runs successful every benchmark at 4.3 GHz but for MSFS 2020 4.1 GHz is max. Beyond that I get CTDs.
By the way, current best price/performance value is AMD 2600.
If I land in a remote airport with no air or ground traffic, performance is consistent and Ok for my setup.
I did not change my settings or setup since MSFS release.
Now if I land at a semi busy default airport with air and ground traffic (i.e: intl airport) as I get closer the airport stutters and pauses make the approach and landing impossible. Performance stabilizes after I stop on the runway.
Not sure if itās related to traffic but thatās the only difference between both tests / airports.
Landing at this airport used to be Ok before the latest updates with the same settings.
Also since the previous updates, MSFS keeps running even if I close it. I need to go to Task Manager and click on End Task.
yeah indeed, at least bit better with the patch but not how it used to be, at least Asobo is aware of that and they admitted that they couldnāt fix all the performance issues
yep indeed. I really think Intel is just overpriced for what you get. However, we shall the see the real test when DX12 is out. With DX11 is always capping the CPU.
