I tried to turn off all factors that caused FPS drop or stuttering.
You are probably main thread limited. I have an RTX3080 with an i9-10850, with that setup I am main thread limited, with an i7 you are possibly too. The GPU is pulling less than 70% load. Under benign conditions, flying over rural areas for example, I do get 60 fps.
Note that mapping PhysX to the GPU in the NVIDIA control panel gave me an fps boost.
I have mapped PhysX to Nv graphics card. It can reach 60fps in the countryside and 45-50 in the cities, but there will be obvious stuttering in the middle. The display is also limited by the main thread. Stuttering appears here, please see the picture.
I still donât know why, but my fps sometimes go down (15fps) and only when I look at the horizon. if I look up or down they are automatically normalized over 35 fps. this only takes about 15 seconds and then everything goes back to normal.
What I have noticed is that it happens to me with airplanes that use glass cockpit
Thatâs one of the issues with the glass cockpit planes. If you look away from your screens, the fps increases. Look back at the screens, fps decreases.
You can try setting your glass cockpit refresh rate (in graphics settings) to medium or low. If itâs on high, youâll almost certainly have issues.

I have it on low. the strange thing is that it didnât happen to me before. it was in update 4 when this started happening to me.

I just recently built a 9900K+2080ti+32Gram+1T M.2 computer.
Since the release of MSFS2020, I have been studying how to optimize FPS performance to get the highest.
I am not using 4K.
Use 208 and DA62withG1000 (turn off enhanced PFD terrain display) test
Default big city 30-40FPS
30-38FPS for big cities with addon
Village small airport 60FPS
Town + addon airport 47FPS
City + addon airport 38-47FPS
Use A320, B787, all FPS 40% OFF
MSFS2020 should be called satellite map simulation 2020
Performance problems may require DX12 to solve.

Your framerates not too shabby for a flight sim, even top gear PCs struggle with this sim at Ultra settings, even at less than 4K. Try and get a balance between the CPU and GPU loads and aim for smoothness rather than just FPS. Having a G-Sync or Freesync monitor would help a lot with any judders, as a smooth 35 fPS say is perfectly fine in a flight simâŠitâs not a shoot 'em up after all.
Have you read through this thread? It breaks down one guyâs settings to attain a good smooth balance between visuals and performance.

Youâre complaining about poor performance with those numbers? Most people would be ecstatic to get that.
If youâre upset because youâre not getting a steady 60+ fps, youâve set your expectations way too high. The fastest hardware currently on the market canât do that.
And DX12 wonât do jack for performance.

What have you got the render scaling set at in the sim out of interest?
Have you studied how to get the most fps in general or for the best with this sim?
Not got mfaa or fxaa switched on in nvidia panel have you?
It is because there are too many short-sighted users like you who are content with the status quo, which leads to the permanent stagnation of MSFS. MSFS can only rely on superficial things to win over such a user group.
Iâm stating the reality of the situation. Neither you nor I have to like it or be content with its current state. That doesnât change the fact that it is what it is. And thereâs jack â â â â we can do about it at the moment. Neither throwing money at it (in terms of top-tier hardware) nor bellyaching in the 395738th thread about this very subject is going to change that right now.

Thatâs about right mate. If you lowered your res those numbers would go higher.
have you tried lowering some settings, I find even at 80 percent render scaling, the sim doesnt look too shabby, also there is that small windows background processes trick that seems to help some ppl, google it⊠I have a 4690k. 24g ram, and a rx580, and a mix of medium and high settings with 80 percent render scaling i get 40-60 in most places, out in remote areas like new zealand mountains for example i can even hit 75ish
