Good morning to you all. I wanted to ask you for information, I have my HW made up of CPU ryzen 5 3600X, 32 GB Ram, SSD and GPU 3070 ti. Flying over Rome, my city, at low altitude in 2K I don’t go beyond 20/25 FPS with strong stuttering. I tried with and without DLSS , set everything high non ultra, but nothing to do even with the latest NVIDIA drivers. Do you think it can’t go any further or am I doing something wrong? Thanks to all, greetings, Luigi.
Perfect thank you very much.

I think we will need some more information. For example which plane do you used etc.
But my gut feeling tells me that everyting is correct and you will be not get much better performancr based on your CPU.
I had until a few days ago a Ryzen 7 3700x together with a 3070 TI and was able to achieve solid 30-40 FPS or even better with GA aircraft on HIGH graphic settings with 1440 resolution. With a study level airliner like the Fenix and on a busy airport I was below my treshold and often changed even to MEDIUM details.
Now I have upgraded my PC to a Ryzen 9 5900x.
So you are definitely CPU limited.

Best way to start to configure a vid card for this game, goto the nvidia control panel, select the second option, open up the games section (find flightsimulator, you might have to add it manually) then choose default options. Now find appdata/roaming/*flightsim dir/usercfg.opt, and open it in notepad.
So now we have usercfg.opt file open in notepad and Nvidia Control panel in a second window. Go through the list of the control panel 1 by 1 and change the settings in usercfg.opt file to match the ones in the control panel.
When done save the usercfg.opt file, save the Nvidia config in the control panel from there.
Run the sim, and see how it performs. If you have good fps but its studdering, lock vsync and lower the setting from 100% to 50% and try the flight again, *this should now be giving you 30 fps, if it still studders, lower the vsync one more time to the lowest level, this will only give you 20 fps but should eliminate the studders.
I did this with all settings set to ultra with my 3060ti card, I can get it to produce 35-40 fps, but the studders are really bad, by setting the vsync to a lower value you will still have the same quality of graphics just a few less fps.
The studders in my case seem more to do with network performance ( the sim cant seem to supply the data fast enough on a 330 mbps connection) so that the game has to pause for a brief moment to wait for the next bit of data.
Hope this helps you it helped me a great deal when I got the new card. Good Luck…

When you think the stutters are caused by the internet connection, then try to fly offline and see if the stutters are gone.

More than likely CPU limited.

There are times when my network connection is actually good, that it will do high fps with no studders at all, always tested on a benchmark flight. Right now my issue seems to be more network related, no matter how much I turn up or turn down settings, Im getting really bad fps. *(not in that other sim 12 btw),
This all started when they did the server migration a couple of months ago. I actually had 1 whole week ( out of seven) that the sim was outstanding week before su11 release, then the su11 came out and bingo everythings back in the toilet. Using pingplotter and resource monitor, I can see where the sim is connection are and how much data is streaming, I can run those addresses in ping plotter and see where issues from here to there are. 30% of issue is this end 70% of issues tend to be msn.net having high latencty values when the problems are occuring.
Time of day seems to have a pretty good impact as well. The problem with a server/client based game and then add to that, all the data is comming from the server(s). And there lies the problem IMHO!
*(I in no way endorse that other sim and have used it just for comparison sake in this topic.)

First of all thank you all for the replies. I was thinking what if I upgrade to the ryzen 7 5800 3dx? Anyway, now I’ll do the checks you suggested. Thanks again, Luigi.
