Issues with FPS When tabbing outhi

,

Hey! I am creating this post on behalf of another person.

This person is having issues while tabbing in and out of the game. When tabbed out, the game works completely fine and the fps is quite normal. When tabbed in, he’s getting very low numbers. Any ideas? Other people have been stumped with the issue before.

His Personal Computer Specifications are: An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, an Intel CORE i7 11700f. His motherboard is an ASUS if applicable.

Thanks!

I’m going to chime in here because this has been happening to me recently as well.

When MSFS is in the foreground, the everything will seemingly be fine and then I’ll have a random major fps drop from stable 60fps to 4fps, which is then likely to occur off and on the rest of the flight. Tabbing to another window so that MSFS is in the background - even just putting a tiny sticky note in the foreground allowing me to still see the sim in full screen and use my flight controls - eliminates this problem entirely and it will never happen, and if it’s happening a switch to background will immediately remove it. There is no graphical or visual or LOD change when it is in the foreground vs background, and In nvidia control panel I set it to 60fps for both background and foreground for MSFS specifically.

PC specs on my side:

Ryzen 9 5950x
64GB DDR4-3200
MSI Ventus RTX 3090
ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero mobo
PSU Corsair HX1000 80+ Plat

Monitor: AORUS FI32U 32” 4K HDR 1ms 144Hz w/HDMI 2.1+VRR

MSFS Graphics Settings:

Res 4K
Render 100
HDR ON
Preset Ultra + 400 LOD

Cheers

In case your friend, which seems not able to write a own report, speak about the BETA then join here:

https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/background-vs-foreground-sim-performance-is-better-in-background/484167

Good idea may also to describe bit more details, as example how you measure the fps , have you some in-game windows ( atc, etc. ) externalized ( as seperate window ) , fullscreen or windowed, etc. etc…


@AHal why you do the same report here which you have already reported ?? have you now installed the Stable-Release and you run into same issue as your report for the BETA ?

Because I’m not sure if the person he reported on behalf of was in the beta or not, but since I am and that’s when I started experiencing it I made a beta report as we are supposed to for issues that arise on a beta build.

Thanks
