As many (most?) of you out there I have spent quite a bit of time over the last few days trying to get the game running at acceptable frame rates. Out of desperation started experimenting with different resolutions and graphics levels yesterday and noticed something weird that doesn’t make any sense…

same thing with my 3700X, I regret going AMD … the game is severely CPU limited there is nothing to do to make FPS better, I hope they can optimize it

Looking at the graphic there, it seems like none of the cores are maxed out, despite what people are saying.

Correct, it does not need to be maxed, I’ts simply waiting. Its how multithreading works, one main thread does the majority and schedules the other threads, due to this, the main thread needs to wait for the other threads to finish their task the main thread gave them, only the main thread can do UI…

But what is it waiting for if the other cores aren’t maxed out either? Either way, doesn’t this suggest that adding more processing power (either in terms of raw single thread speed or more cores) won’t fix anything?

You need single core power like in all Sims.. More is better 9900k@5.3 like Perhaps they can optimize more And fast Ram help in cpu limits

I was getting a slideshow the other day at 4K and I tried turning the resolution down to 480p at 30% resolution scaling with all the other settings turned all the way down and it still ran at like 20FPS. The aliasing was MAJESTIC. The next day, it was back to normal and running at about 40FPS at 4K…

More modern CPUs can perform vastly better compared to the older generation, regardless of clock speed, it’s just how the architecture works. So yes and no basically, more modern CPUs will get you more frames, but it won’t be an insane amount.

Ryzen 5 1600, 32GB RAM, RTX2070 Super Same issue. I locked game to 30FPS via Nvidia Control Panel. Digital Foundry was able to get much higher framerates, I refuse to believe my PC is capable of only 30-40FPS on medium.

A few things to try, from experience, and from other threads: Disabling the VFR map, from the in flight menu, because in some situations it’s extremely CPU intensive. I get twice the FPS when I disable it, if I have long flight plans with 50+ waypoints loaded, in external view, and some improvemen…

I just don’t understand. During the Alpha/Beta process, I was getting a consistent 40 to 50 FPS with No Stutters at all. Same with X-Plane 11, 50 FPS and no stutters. Why now are my frames 20 to 30 with constant stutters? I have tried changing the graphics and other settings, with no success. I…

None of the graphical options make any difference to the frame rate

I noticed the same issue, here is the explanation:
