This game is unplayable for me since upgrading from a 12900k 4090 setup to a 9950x3d and 5090 setup.
Ive spent the last 2-3 weeks changing every single setting possible but this game is now unplayable for me i literally give up with it.
Im not asking for much 200 lod at 4k the games a stutterfest I dont know whats happened with the sim but back in January when i had my last setup i was able to land in all large airports with hardly any stutters, now though its a mess. I dont even attempt large airports like new york, dublin or Schipol anymore.
Anyone on here got a 5090 and having issues?
Im using a lg c4 42 inch.
Ive tried 30fps with frame gen ive tried no frame cap every setting possible and nothing has fixed it.
Im trying to get 60fps with everything ultra and 200 lod i need 60fps for obs for recordings.
Anyone with a similiar setup and getting good performance please let me know.
So it sounds like you’ve never gotten good performance from the 9950x3d/5090 with the sim? Was this PC ordered from a 3rd party retailer or did you build it?
I have a PC with a 9950x3d/7900xtx and I’m very happy with it’s performance.
I listed all of my settings with the second test and the only difference was the 1st test was in 4k and the 2nd test was in 1080p. I didn’t use any 3rd part software add-ons as those can sometimes inject poor performance. Your results should be better than mine with your 5090.
Hi,
I have a 9800x3d with a 5090, running on a 32:9 (5120x1440) monitor. No issues here, runs buttery smooth. Minor stuttering for 10-15 sec if I load into La Guardia in NYC for example - but after that smooth again. Since the internet connection is also an essential part - on what connection you are? I am on gigabit FTTH.
A second remark: a 9950x3d ist not the ideal processor for MSFS or games in general. It is not truly a x3d chip: it consists of 2 chipsets where one is indeed x3d but the other one not. So the part without the 3dv-cache is slowing down performance significantly - a 9950x3d is a productive chip not a gaming one. For games and MSFS a 9800x3d is way faster and does not suffer from the stuttering coming from the SW handling threads on two completely different CPU dies …
Another remark: you should likely check thermals on CPU, RAN and of course GPU(incl VRAM). You cane use HWinfo64 for that.
This may be true for the 9950x but not for the 9950x3D. It´s still faster and has more cores and cache than the 9800x3d, despite the single CCD topic. The benchmarks from last months show similar figures between them but are clearly lower on the 9950x case as it completely lacks the 3D cache. Both examples include FS2024.
9950x3D is a good CPU for gaming and a good CPU for multitasking as well, while 9800x3D is clearly oriented to gaming. Remember productivity is not only video edition and so on. When you run FS2024 you are also running other apps and tasks in the background and dealing with big size files (rolling cache, addons, downloaded content, etc) from game itself. There the extra cores from 9950x3D help a lot. Both are still good CPUs for FS2024 use case and for gaming in general I would say.
Indeed some days ago a user with a 9800x3D also reported similar problems as the OP reports. However he is using a 5080 and an airport at another location.
When you look at the forum it´s starting to get plagued with similar performance issues as soon as scenery complexity is not sparse: inconsistent frames, high fps with sudden drops, freezes, stuttering when being unable to maintain a target fps, etc. I can see the sudden fps drops and freezes myself with a 12900ks + 4090 as well and I hadn´t them when game was launched for instance.
My personal opinion after seeing so much similar reports, even on people under SU3 beta, is that the problem is not on user´s side as it affects a wide variety of systems. It may be caused by game or Windows 11 scheduler, who knows, but CPU utilization in game is clearly broken. Even people on FS2020 is starting to report those issues as well. This shouldn´t happen at all. Not after so many patches at least as that game implementation has been used and proven to work well by users for years.
Its definately vame related back in January FS2020 was runnning brilliant at 4k hdr for me. I could record gameplay and stream on tiktok with no issues.
I sold my 4090 went about 3 months with no gpu then bought a 5090 all i did was add the 5090 to the 12900k pc i had and bang it went to ■■■■. I thkught it was the 5090 so then went andbspent a further 1250 quid on 99050x3d and x870e rog hero motherboard thinking this might fix my issues.
£4500 later with the new parts the game is still knackered. Ive tried everything and it stutters even my little local airport east midlands.
Its definately game related. Ive played red dead redemption 2 and other games with no issues.
Stay with AMD. There´s nothing wrong with your setup. After years with intel I will also move to a 9950x3D and a 870E-E, hopefully in the next days as soon as stock problems are solved in my local store. Despite Intel has faster P-Cores clock and support faster RAMs, their E-Cores are not the best approach for FS2024 case because they are not that fast. AMD base clock is still in the range of Intel E-Cores clocks turbo (and faster in some models) and remember Intel still has a ridiculously small L3 cache. Things don´t appear to improve so much in the future at Intel side as newer models have even more E-Cores than P-Cores while they keep the small L3 caches. They are basically pointing in the opposite direction that gamers need.
I’ve done extensive testing of my 7950X3D / 3090 Ti (and posted the results in this forum.)
If you have a dual-chiplet CPU and use Process Lasso, you have to know how to properly configure Lasso. For me, turning both Windows Game Mode and HAGS off, and setting up Lasso with the help of this video was the key to getting the best performance in FS2024.
I use the Bitsum Performance Plan, and disable core parking in Lasso.
Having an up-to-date BIOS and chipset drivers is also important.
My GPU is the bottleneck in my system. No way a 5090 should be bottlenecking yours.
I have a 9950X3D, RTX5090 combo with 64 gigs DDR5-6000 running on a MSI X870E tomahawk mb and have no problems. I read that you should NOT use core parking with the 9950x3d since the AMD software engineers tweaked this chip to run games well via the WIn 11 software.
Are you using Win 11? Make sure gaming mode is enabled.
If I would hazard a guess it might be a BIOS setting in your mb.
You might want to set the BIOS settings to default, enable the memory expo so it runns at DDR5-6000 and try that to see if it smoothens out the play.
Do you have any settings held over from the intel cpu or did you do a new install of the OS?
Im running 6400 do you reckon that could be the issue? Ill try it at 6000 when i finish work.
Im using process lasso with game mode off as you can set 0-7 to use the game and all other processes set to 8-16. I have already tried formatting the pc etc. I get 40-50 frames inside the cockpit with stutter and outside 50-60 with stutter thats without frame gen enabled.
Im trying to acheive a steady 60 fps i was capping at 60 with frame gen on so thays 30 real frames and 30 fake but the stutter is still awful.
Ive tried dlss x3 so 40 real 80 fake thats smoothish but looks ■■■■ on obs because of 40 frames when trying to record 60.
I get major stutters that werent there in december 2024.
Ill try 6000 when i finish and set motherboard settings default.
6400 is fine, but you want to make sure of the following settings:
You may need to set them manually.
UCLK=3200
MCLK-3200
I would try with FCLK=2000 first, then try 2133.
About 80% of CPU’s can handle that, and it’s good to run FCLK= 1/3 UCLK.
Fair warning… If you set FLCK too high for your CPU, you can end up with an unbootable BIOS (ask me how I know…) I tried FLCK=2200, and ended up having to reset my CMOS. But with 6400/CL32 running FCLK=2133 it was just fine.
I have a 9950x3d/5090 system and it’s performing far better than my prior intel system. Running triple screens (4k dlss, FG, locked at 40 real frames and 80 in total) and very smooth with no stutters except when the streaming service has network load problems at MS. I built and tuned it myself from scratch and would be happy to speak on a FaceTime video call if you would like. I also use process lasso although I have also just used the windows scheduler (game bar/game mode) and it worked well. Let me know as it’s far faster to talk live on the things you’ve tried already and I can share how I set mine up. Many of the things mentioned here already are important (memory speeds, amd chipset driver updates, bios updates, shutting down background tasks that ping the cpu and are stealth heavy users like cloud data backup ) and I find msfs to be far heavier than other games and therefore it exposes any quirks in how you setup the hardware and software.
Turn off process lasso and turn on game mode and back your memory off to 6000.
Try those 3 things first and see if it helps.
When I was younger, I always tried the latest tweeks to see how fast I could go but on too many occasions stability suffered. I have decided to run these latest processors and memory at stock settings since they are already so fast. Stability is the name of the game. Pretty much done with overclocking.
