I have a MSI, Ventus GP OC 6Gb 2060 graphics card.
I have overclocked it using the afterburner app.
Trouble is, I don’t seem to see any difference in FPS or performance either before or after.
It will crash if I take the settings too high.
Am I missing something or is this card pretty ordinary anyway.
I have a Intel 7, 100700F 10th Gen CPU, 32Gb Ram and of course this MSI card driving a 60Hz 1080P Dell Monitor.
& a dedicated SSD drive.
Around Heathrow with fairly medium settings I can barely manage 20FPS. Not bad out in the rural settings on around 50FPS. But I like to fly airlines out of large, detailed airports.
It’s unlikely you’ll see any major performance gains by overclocking, especially if the card is already overclocked from the factory. I have an MSI 6600XT with a factory oc and my own overclock beyond that isn’t by much. It’s enough to smooth out the frame rates, but not really increase them.

Thanks for the info. I guessed that is the case.
You are probably mainthread limited, no matter what gpu you have or how overclocked it is it can’t push out more frames than the cpu can supply.
You can do that with frame-gen also … ie the DLSS>FSR app (for RTX 20s).
I’m not a fan of frame generation. I’d rather turn settings down a bit first than deal with artifacts and/or reduced image quality.

It doesn’t cause these things (for me) on 2024 like it did on 2020.
The way I see it is if you are feeling the need to use frame gen or DLSS/FSR, then your GPU is likely not strong enough to do so without a noticable quality loss. If your GPU can do those things without issue, then it is likely strong enough to not need them in the first place. There is a pretty low threshold on the sim where chasing fps basically becomes more about bragging rights than an actual performance difference.

True 
that’s how so far I’m able to continue using my 4 1/2 year old system for 2024 … using these together to keep FPS above 20-25 or the flickering/stuttering level … trying to keep from spending $4-600 more …
