I have an i7-2070 super, 32GB, RTX 2070K, I am getting around 27-30 frames per second in the Northwest which is my normal flight area. It is not an area with a great deal of scenery density. Shouldn’t I get at least in the mid 30’s fps with this setup? I checked for the latest game ready driver from Nvidia and it is installed.

I recently made a couple changes as suggested by a YouTube video and it seems to be worse. I think I have reversed all those changes, but no improvement.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Could you check the model of i7 you mention as it looks wrong?

About 30fps is the norm on a mid range system. I lock mine at 30 as its much smoother that way.

Sorry for the error. i7-9700K

What resolution are you playing at, what are your graphics settings, and what is your terrain LOD set at?

Well, we’ll need to know what settings you changed . That will help us narrow the search and give better suggestions.

There are so many magic cures out there, it could be anything. Also, what resolution are you running at?

You and i have the same system, and in 1440 im getting 50fps.

What seems strange is I can change settings in FS from Ultra to high or even medium, and the fps doesn’t seem to change much. Right now most are set on high and terrain LOD is at 150. Full screen resolution is at 2560x1600

I’m on a 9700k with a RTX3060 running a 1080p TV with dldsr resolution of 2880x1620 and can run high to ultra settings and maintain 35-40 FPS with 2 panels popped out onto tablets. I use HAGS on and I disabled virtualization in the bios . I also use game mode on. I have overclocked my CPU to 5ghz.

I only use tlod and olod at 125 though, any higher and I get lag in the frames. Maybe lower your Lod a little and see how that goes. Are you using high traffic levels? If so lower those too.

Did you make sure your monitor is connected correctly? That the cable is plugged in in the GPU and not in the motherboard GPU outlet? Happened to some people already in the past.

It comes down to resolution. I have a cheapo gpu and the settings are Ultra. 1920x1080 native monitor resolution.

Change your Nvidia settings to default and just adjust your Flight Sim settings. I also have V-Sync turned off.

Lowered resolution to 1280x1024, and lowered render scaling to less than 100. That got me to about 44 fps.

Would downloading the latest Nvidia driver set my Nvidia file back to default?

Download the latest driver and choose the option of clean install. This will delete all your nvidia game profiles.
1280x1024 is to low a resolution . Try a resolution one step lower than your native resolution.

Resolution set at 3840x2160 now and getting 38-40 fps. I can live with that I think. Most settings on high.

1080p gang! People scoff at us standard HD kinfolk but the game sure does look good either way

Do you not find the aliasing too much though at 1080p? I can get 60-70FPS at that resolution but it looks awful I think.

what AA? :wink:

I say the same thing when playing DCS and it has multiple meanings lol

While flying in the Kodiak with G1000 screens I am getting around 33 fps, if I switch the view to the outside camera it goes up to about 40. All the time the fps counter says “limited by main thread”. I assume the bottleneck is in my cpu. Is that correct? Is there a solution short of upgrading the cpu?

1080p is just the number of pixels. It says nothing about pixel density. A screen with 1080p and high pixel density will have a better picture than 1080p at low density. The size of the screen and the distance you are sitting from it is also a major factor.
