Extreme FPS drop regardless of High-End Hardware

Hello Community,
as this is surely a FAQ and not the first time it has been asked, I decided to still give it a shot as I haven’t found anything suitable yet.
Despite the Hardware (see specs below) I’m using, my performance is not exceeding 18 fps in densely populated and hardware demanding areas such as Frankfurt Intl. (EDDF). All graphic drivers and Windows are up-to-date.
Is there anyone here that can help me out with my settings? Currently everythimng is set according to the screenshots. Also the new NVIDIA DLSS feature doesn’t do anything for me. CPU and GPU usage are both very low as well and I don’t understand the correlation entirely.
Which are the recommended settings in my case? DO I have to consider changing my NVIDA Control Panel Settings as well? (perhaps to get the most out of DLSS)



I’d be most gracious if some of you could help me figure out what’s going wrong here. I saved up for a new rig just to enjoy MSFS from its best side, but that doesn’t seem to be working out currently.

Best regards from Germany :v:

That video was amazing! Thanks @JazzBassman5751 and to everyone suffering from similar performance drops. Take a look at it! I now have stable > 30 fps @ EDDF with FSLTL set to 80% static aircraft
