1.37.7.0
Had to make some BIOS changes which required the motherboard defaults to be applied.
Decided to see how FS2020 did with the defaults.
CPU = i5-13600K
Mem = DDR5 7200 QVL
GPU = Intel A770 16 GB
CPU changed from 5 Ghz to 3.5
mem changed from 6400 MT/s to 4800 MT/s
Surprised that I don’t see any difference in performance in FS2020.
In fact, there may be an increase in FPS of around 8 FPS.
Hi @MSFSRonS,
I moved your topic to the User Support Hub Hardware & Peripherals that is more appropriate to your topic.
Thanks, I agree and I’ll correct the title.
Motherboard defaults will boost the 13600k to 5.1 Ghz. If you just simply reset BIOS defaults, nothing really changed unless you’re forcing a higher P-core frequency than 5.1 Ghz.
Render resolution also matters. If you’re rendering at 4K, you’ll likely be GPU-limited anyways - especially with that GPU.
Ok. I looked at the BIOS and the settings for CPU frequency and DDR5
were set to “AUTO” as the defaults.
So, I set the CPU freq to 3.5 Ghz and DDR5 to 4800.
This is what Hardware Info shows:
FS2020 still looks the same for performance & FPS.
I was just thinking of seeing if it would matter to FS2020 and
its performance and FPS.
It doesn’t appear to.
Yes, my GPU runs at 100%.
Would limiting the CPU allow the CPU , MB, and memory to run cooler?
Last longer?
idk …
Yes, that’s why. GPU is controlling overall sim performance - which is normal at or near 4K resolution.
Hi, sorry for my bad english.
Don’t downclock your CPU, leave it with the default frequenzies.
But lower the supplied power for the CPU and find the settings your CPU runs without errors.
This will give you the effekt that your CPU runs at lower temperatures and thermal throtteling will not reduce your CPU-frequenzy.
See in the internet how to do this with your individual motherboard. Look for ‘mode*’.
You also can use: ‘Iintel-extreme-tuning-utility’ finding the acceptable Ampere-adjustment, seeing also how often thermal-throtteling will occur.
With this I have only little performance-loss but cpu-temperature about < 70°C with Msfs2020 stutterfree in all circumstances, everything maxed-out in the graphic-settings except LOD (130) for buildings. (I7-14700, DDR6000, RTX4070).
The bottle-neck in my PC is the CPU, so I could downclock the GPU with temperatures now about < 60°C.
Before these adjustments i had a really bad performance with Msfs 2020 as my PC was new. Stutters everywhere.
The above mentioned and ‘DLSS-Swapper’ for RTX-cards gave me the solution. Framegeneration ‘on’ with ‘Quality’-setting. Look for synchronisation of ingame-FPS (V-sync) and the monitor refresh-rate.
60 FPS for me.
Good luck.
