I might try that, but I’m not sure how that will affect me, since I also do LiveStreaming at 4K HDR whenever I fly.
It was a driver issue . Revert and fixed
I find that the current driver version performs better. I had an increase in FPS after the latest driver update.
Had to revert
I’m noticing that my PC stays quiet when playing. Normally the fans would run at near full speed. Did you notice that as well with the new driver?
good, but so you see . almost all these complaints of performance, stutter , ctd’s are
at the user side.
many users have pretty smooth performance. it does need tweaking a lot,. to get
it optimal
I have literally the same specs as the OP with slighly slower RAM running at 3600 MHz instead of 3700 and I get 30+ FPS in the most demanding airports like Heathrow, including flying around New York, or London, and that’s without overclocking. I also run it at Ultra Settings in 4K. Outside of the big cities such as New Zealand etc, I can easily exceed 40-50+ FPS so the OP definitely has issues there.
OP, I would make sure you’re playing in Full Screen, not Windowed Mode, and keep the render distance or quality (can’t remember what it’s called off the top of my head at 90). If it’s still running with bad FPS, ensure you aren’t optimising the game and launching via the Nvidia Experience software. For some reason if you overide the ■■■■ settings it defaults to and change them to Ultra, it will run like a dog. Just let the Nvidia Experience default to ■■■■ settings, but then override it in the game to Ultra settings. See how you go with that. I’d be interested to know how you go.
I fixed my problem reverting back the Ndvidia drivers.
Now my FPS double,I have the same pc specs has the OP,I was having horrible performance since I updated my Ndvidia drivers.
I rollback not to the latest version but 2 versions back and “bang” great performance again.
Partially true, I had the checklist window open on the other screen, as well as the ATC window. After closing those I get 40-50 FPS (cruise altitude). Before it was 15 FPS on the ground and 20-25 FPS when cruising. (Disabling the 45 FPS limit in the Nvidia panel helped to bring it back to 20-ish).
What version number exactly did you revert to?
I’m not by my pc right now so I’m not sure.
It wasn’t the previous one but the other one before.
Tonight I’ll let you the version #
Performance improvements are on DX11 according to Seb
i have i9 9900k and when i turned off HT i got a massive boost in FPS from 50s to 120+
I am having a similar issue, I am getting 20-30FPS on lowest settings, at 1080p, in a Cessna 172, at a tiny airport, with a 2080 Ti. Tried reinstalling the game to no avail.
Please state what driver you downgraded to so other people with your problem can attempt to solve it that way as well. Kind of inconsiderate to post “I solved it” but not explain exactly which driver version solves the issue.
Wow. Something must be wrong somewhere else then. I run a 10700K at 5GHz, RTX3070 and 64 GB RAM, and see no FPS or smoothness difference with HT off or on. With HT off, all I see is CPU utilization goes up a few %, but not much.
My setup is Ryzen9 5900X, RTX3080 Ti, 64GB RAM. Virtualisation is enabled, hyperthreading is enabled. Nvidia drivers 471.11. Monitor is 49" Samsung at 5120x1440 at 120Hz, with Gsync enabled. All MSFS settings are at Ultra. FPS in normal flight is 45+, and in cities it drops to 30 but is still very playable with 99% at 20+
im only running a 2070 @ 1440p, i do have a dedicated 500g Nvme evo plus ssd also
Only the scenery (ground texture and tree/building locations etc) are streamed (and that can also be disabled). All rendering is always done locally, so CPU/GPU performance is very important.
Sure. You can disable it but then the game looks like FSX so it would be rather pointless.
Pretty much everything that makes the game the headline winner that it is…is streamed.
Yes, the data is. But it’s almost certainly not streamed every single frame such that you can get a constantly low framerate because of poor connectivity (nobody would code it that way), which is why I disagreed with your initial comment.
Poor bandwidth will cause issues yes, but not a constant 15-ish FPS on a high-end computer.
