Still the 2020 version. I own it on the Marketplace but the Marketplace version has never been available to me in FS2024 - doesn’t even show up at all, not just “Disabled” or anything. It was on sale at Orbx a few days ago for about $15USD, so I bought it again. Works great but it is BIG - 5.35GB installed. That’s probably why it’s not available to stream in FS2024.
Oké, i have an account with Orbx and will look there.

Same behavior here - sim’s rendered unplayable after a few minutes at EGLL due to VRAM issues. Running a 4070 Super (12GB), mostly mid to high settings, 1440p with DLSS Quality and frame generation.
EGLL - FBW A380 BATC Traffic - Default Airport - 30FPS TAA - settings on mostly Ultra (Texture Resolution = Medium and Raytraced Shadows = Off) Res 2k with 130 Render Scaling (so 3328 X 1871) - don’t remember getting such high usage in MSFS2020 at EGLL.
Are you using Asobo scenery from cloud??if yes,try to download scenery and install in community folder,than load and try! it’s seems issue with Asobo cloud scenery!
Hey everyone, if you’re using MSI Afterburner for GPU overclocking and monitoring, I highly recommend testing your flight simulation with Afterburner turned off. It appears there’s a bug that could be negatively impacting FPS. Give it a try and see if it improves your performance!
REPORT BACK!
FPS did not improve but VRAM usage did however this could be as a result of some of the assets being cached - not really sure to be honest. I can now at least enable Frame Generation on TAA with the extra VRAM headroom.
MSI Afterburner disabled - Frame Generation OFF
MSI Afterburner disabled - Frame Generation ON

MSI Afterburner affect mostly AMD CPUs, Intel not so much!
I have heard about an utility called Intelligent Standby List Cleaner, which have installed. It supposedly clears RAM memory when reaching a preset level. Could it help reduce stutters?
Merry christmas everyone! I coundt find if this issue was fixed but i have the exact same problem as the first post (and there are now 2000 answers to this post). After a few seconds in the sim, the preformance goes to Narnia.
Ill leave my specs up aswell. Hoping to return to this amazing sim soon.
Happy Holidays and a great 2025 for all!

Did you also disable HPET (High Precision Event Timer) in Windows Device Manager?
I have HPET disabled, and ISLC running. I’m not claiming it’s a ‘magic bullet’ but my sim runs very smoothly. I’ve suggested it as a troubleshooting step a few times for those who are having memory-related problems.
I’ve been using Afterburner for years. No impact on my system performance at all that I can see.
CAVEAT: in the settings for Afterburner, there are several options and toggles that CAN affect performance on certain hardware combinations. I’m not at my PC right now to dig them out and try to explain, but going from memory, there are options to set polling rate (that is, how often Afterburner collects data to display the stats you’re collecting); to enable or disable low-level hardware monitoring (which can cause issues on some systems); and to enable/dsable certain statistics from being collected. Bear in mind that the OSD we’re all used to seeing up in the corners of the screen are usually just a subset of all the data which can be collected. The more stats being monitored and tracked, the more impact Afterburner may have. It’s worth digging into those options to verify you are only monitoring what you need, and checking polling rate, etc.
I saw a YT video showing how unticking GPU Power Monitoring in MSI Afterburner solved his microstuttering problems.
The bug is related to monitoring your gpu power. If you are it takes a bit off the top but really kills the 1% lows.
Described in detail w/ stats here.

Yep, that’s the video.
Thanks for linking it.
both gave the same result. I know my Nvidia GTX1650 graphics card doesnt work with dlls, but amd fdr made it run smoother before all patches, afther the last patch it looked like the pic. Before the first patch i had no issues with this to be honest. After the .27 patch this started a bit and the .28 patch made it even worse. After the release i had some issues with some stuttering, but more how i like to call it program errors. Like weird atc and glitches like opening the settings while flying made me loose a instant 10 fps each time. But after the last patch fs2024 just became unplayable with the gpu and cpu performing (according to the developer mode fps tracker) alsmost a quarter over their size. And all just one stutter galore. My GTX graphic card doesnt work with DLLS or AMD FDR but before the patches it made the sim run smoother. As i said, time for a new computer i think. MSFS2020 runs like a clockwork now… even smoother then it did before 2024 was released, so that is also a weird coincidence for me
question to the community, is it too risky to buy a used gpu? is there anyway to know if it was toasted mining crypto? because of course all the sellers will say what?? absolutely not! no way
what say ye?

Nowadays GPU acceleration for crypto-mining isn’t such a thing anymore since the crypto-mining algorithms were changed to something like “proof of work” which killed GPU clusters overnight.
I bought myself a Radeon RX-68000 with 16 gigs of (DDR6?) VRAM several years ago when the crypto-bubble burst. Apparently someone had bought an entire boat-load of these cards, planning to Go For The Glory in crypto-mining - and rapidly discovered he had several hundreds-of-thousands of USD invested in video cards he couldn’t use.
At the time, (several years ago, perhaps before Covid?), here in Russia this particular card - brand new - was something like $700+ USD, (in rubles of course!) and other video cards (by NVIDIA) were well north of $1,000 USD. I was able to pick one up that had apparently never been opened, (you can tell when a box has been opened), for less than $300 from this guy.
===================================
Since I don’t know what or whom you’re dealing with, I can’t offer you specific guidance other than the fact that crypto-mining isn’t all its cracked up to be anymore - at least from the GPU perspective.
Any purchase of anything used requires a bit of due diligence, regardless of what it is.
If I were to buy a GPU that is genuinely used, (assuming it works and doesn’t have an existing guarantee), the first thing I’d do is replace all the thermal pads and heat-sink compound.
Other than that, I don’t know what to say.

I don’t use any GPU monitoring so Afterburner hypotheses is not applicable to me.
