Are there any sim pilots here using the recommended settings by Nvidia app 2025? What were your findings by doing so?. I ask because I tried it today out of curiosity and was somewhat surprised with the performance on both sims after optimising I never used FG or most of the settings Nvidia put on Ultra. My performance was great with these settings today. Practically 0 stutters and increased FPS on both sims. Even halfing the fps because of FG was still much higher than I’ve had with my lower med/high settings. I see lots of post that trash their recommended settings and app usage. Help me understand as I’m shocked at performance using them. Am I lucky? Fortunate? I did remove my frame cap of 60. Could that be the reason. What am I missing

The mostly balanced FPS friendly/quality settings for me in 2024 and 2020 are those we receive after installation.
As for the settings from Nvidia app I also use them and they are good enough. However for my 4060 8 gig I always receive all the important to me settings (LODs, texture quality, buildings/grass and so on) on minimum. But yes, the are good looking, I just set clouds on Ultra. With DLSS 310.1 I can even use FG and fly B737 from/to JFK with sufficient FPS (24-30).
You forgot to include the graphics settings for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. You also didn’t provide the exact PC configuration.
Everything is clear now. There are no miracles in your settings but I do see that DLSS is set to Performance and FG (fake frames) is enabled, OLOD and TLOD - 150. These settings, among others have a huge impact on your perception that performance is better. DLSS setting is quite low.
I have no idea why someone at Nvidia thinks it’s a good idea to set Airtraffic to Ultra - this setting adds a lot of unnecessary static airplanes at airports and negatively affects performance.
In any case, I haven’t found anything extraordinary so we can move on to more productive activities 
I wasn’t directly asking or posting this for only YOU. More productive activities? Really? Was that needed? 
When I wrote, " I haven’t found anything extraordinary so we can move on to more productive activities" I was joking!
It’s a shame you took my last line seriously instead of as a joke 
Understood. but in person humor is easier to judge from expression. My bad. This is the only forum I’ve ever been a part of. I read most of your post here, and some are quite helpful and in depth, but you have a strange sense of “humor” in your post replies sometimes that" Pokes the Bear." I now know. We’re not all professionals as yourself. I don’t have the PC knowledge of you, and quite a few others here, but reach out embarrassed most times because of, hoping for understandable solutions from a PC Amateurs point of view. My sim runs better with these settings, perception or not, guess that’s all that matters. Even if I or you don’t understand why. See ya round the forums. No hard feelings. Mods can close this topic.
