[HOW-TO] Graphics Settings and Performance Guide - Discussion Thread

Currently configuring my settings. I was just on the frame gen mod but reverted back to normal as i’m not the biggest fan of DX12 and you get weird artefacts if the gpu hits 100% usage.

Anyway, i would like to know if anyone has any suggestions to improve upon.

Specs:

  • i7-10700k
  • RTX 3070
  • 32GB RAM @3000MHz
  • Nvme/SSD build

Testing:
I test at KJFK by ini builds, with the PMDG 737-800, some systems are on inside the plane with a few lights on and the APU running.

HAGS is currently on but thinking of switching it off as i only had it activated for the frame gen mod. Game mod is enabled, and threaded optimisation is on in the nvidia control panel.

I have noticed that my CPU does not get used as much however the Main Thread ms does spike up at times especially when doing a standard 360 around the scenery with a drone camera.

Ill attach my current in sim settings with nzxt cam too.



Any suggestions on ways to improve utilisation or performance while keeping a good balance of visuals would be much appreciated.

Note: KJFK is the most demanding scenery i have, i run around 30-35 in the cockpit which is usually what i aim for, but my purpose is to reduce the stutters when panning the camera around in the cockpit as fps does drop down to the 25s.
