Hey Y’all - the NVIDIA Game Ready Driver for MSFS 2020 just released today. I downloaded it and tested the results.
My Test Results are with all graphics sliders MAX and using TAA anti aliasing (DLSS surprisingly didn’t improve performance). TLOD = 400 | OLOD = 200
Aircraft is the PMDG 737-800 (which I hear can be quite demanding on your PC)
At KJFK in New York:
Before New Driver
FPS Avg - 19
After New Driver
FPS Avg - 29
10 FPS Improvement with better settings - keep in mind that MSFS has been increasing the TLOD and OLOD from where it was in the beginning when it released.
When MSFS released TLOD was capped at 100 - they’ve been increasing it up to 400 now. This greatly affects performance.
Ok…with that in mind here is my FPS with settings at TLOD 200 and OLOD 100 (which is still much better than what MSFS originally released with)
At KJFK results
Before Driver - 20-25 FPS
After Driver - 35-40 FPS
This is flying in the most demanding scenery in the game. I tested at Chicago O’Hare (KORD) and Charlotte Douglas Intl (KCLT) as well - very demanding airports - and received the same FPS gains as KJFK.
Added bonus - the stuttering and freezing when panning the views is 99% gone. Much smoother gameplay.
Overall, a nice improvement over the previous update.
Cheers!
