33% more FPS than the RTX 4090.
Unfortunately not a lot of details on how they’ve tested the sims (with or without FG? With or without DLSS?).

0% difference for MSFS 2020
Also, 2020 gets more FPS than 2024. I thought 2024 was supposed to be better optimized.
According to the second list MSFS2024 is the most demanding game on the market.
Halleluja, Asobo well done!
So this is the first place then, right? MSFS 2024 is the Winner!!! No?
So everyone “needs” a 5090 to get a whopping 60 FPS with MSFS 2024.
Awesome.
MSFS2024 is the benchmark for all new hardware.
At 4K maybe. At 1440p like many of us, not hardly.
Remember, flight sim is NOT typically GPU-limited. Your CPU, especially for FS2020, matters much more.
True, I’m being a fair bit snarky here.
It’s just an amusing chart when read at face value.
It matters Both!
You need a good CPU and GPU.
These initial charts are clickbait. Anyone who sims regularly knows better than to accept anything at face value.
It’s only a comparison.
The fps is not a hard value.
But can it run Crysis?
That’s not on the list.
Maybe it’s to demanding and has also bad memory management.
The day some reviewer comes with VR performance charts… MSFS2024 will need a 7090.
Not seen many reviews that include MSFS so far. This one shows a 30% improvement at 4k ultra, on a 32Gb 9800X3D based system.

Anyone contemplating a 5090 for 1440p is, well…no further comment.
Anyone contemplating a 5090 on release is, well … no further comment.
Considering the initial disappointment, +33% is juust good enough to justify upgrading from a 4090 for high res VR imo.
Firstly, because FS2020 will supersample much higher and get sharper while holding 45fps, and/or be able to lock to 60/72fps at 120hz/72hZ at similar resolutions as before.
Secondly, because it will raise FS24 performance to how FS20 performs on a 4090. Which is depressing, but also better than nothing. This will become highly relevant when/if FS24 is fixed to be in a good state and I actually want to start using it.
Running on Ultra makes it far more likely to be cpu limited….would have been a better test to run on 4k, high preset or even medium preset, to try and isolate GPU performance differences. But end of the day cpu is still (even in msfs2024) a limiter before the GPU when you are trying to push very high settings. I’m using NVidia present mon software and also the in-game Developer mode measures with my 4090 and the cpu is the limiter for me when trying to run high or ultra. 5090 may help with using frame generation at 2x or more but really I’m looking forward to dlss4 where the ghosting might be less noticeable in DLSS mode(s).
Because MSFS2020 is much more CPU bound then MSFS2024.
