MS Version, complete Re-Install, but during flight screen stops nad goes on.
Changed to LOW everything, but nothing changes. I have no more Idea. Pls advise, do i need a better GPU? Thank you. Peter
Can you share your rig?
I have looked at your config and it seems ok to run MSFS - maybe you should tweak your settings down a bit. the 2060 might be holding you back in high/ ultra settings.
your RAM shows 32GB but the clock is at 1333 Mhz, please check if you need to enable XMP profile to get the full 2666 Mhz of your RAM.
I was running a Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB with a GTX 1080 very smoothly in VR. I have since upgraded only the graphics card to a 3080 and the CPU is working very fine.
Also, try the NIS scaler, you’ll get a boost.

Nothing to change here. The memory is running at 1333 but it’s double date rate so is transferring at 2666 MT/s. This is how these programs display it, so this is ok.
Your system is more than capable of running the sim. There must be at config problem somewhere.

Moved to Self-Service, PC & Hardware.
Confirming the RTX 2060 can handle MSFS, I am driving a 3440x1440 display at ~45fps at 70-80 render scale with it.
Does your monitor physically power off to complete blackness before the image is restored? Or does the image remain displayed but is stuck for a time?

i have rtx 2060 on a msi gaming laptop with win 11 16gb ram. I am getting awesome performance, so much so that I went from medium a year ago to high and sometimes ultra. I run at 2k and sometimes drop down to hd depending on the addon I flying in or out of. Hd gave me jaggies a year ago but not now, it seems some magic is happening in the background.
I have the same cpu and it runs great with a rtx3060 and could handle more. Almost the same board too but mine’s the B550M PCIe 4 version. However I think your ram is slow for MSFS and that there’s only 16GB of it wont help either so in bios advanced settings choose OC and either turn on XMP or look for the “Memory try it” function, you should be able to get 3200MHz on similar infinity timings as now and if that’s a problem it will revert back to default so there’s no real danger.
Hi, now i tried everything, but the problem persist. The screen is freezing for a half second during flight, even i set everything to the lowest settings.
Monitor ist ACER 3840x1080 - running in 144Hz. But if i change to 60Hz , or HDR = Off - still the same.
Tried the NIS Scaler to, but does not work (no VR)
Board has no XMP option, but memory is at 2666.
Thank you for more Ideas… Peter
Do you get the little loading circle in the bottom right of the screen? That is the downloading photogrammetry circle and may indicate that you have internet issues or issues reaching the Microsoft servers.

Background task? can you run task manager and sort by CPU usage? Could possibly be windows defender. Try adding an exclusion for the flightsimulator executable?
I’m running very satisfactorily with a rig much less competent than yours so it’s most likely not that, unless something is defective of course - has been known. Mine won’t run VR though.
Lots of info on the forum about settings but a couple of thoughts that might help:-
Check your drivers are up to date, particularly the GPU. Also Windows updates.
Check your internet speed and data limits, also the in-game settings have no restrictions such as a data limit. Uncommanded pauses are often due to waiting for data.
The old standard - empty your Community Folder in case of a naughty addon. If this works add them back one at a time to find the culprit - an addon manager is a great help here.
Delete your Rolling Cache then renew it; 8GB is more than enough.
If this doesn’t help reset everything to default settings.
Oh yes - check all your physical connections are okay. Spotted this on another thread.
Another thread solved a stuttering problem recently by effectively “underclocking” their CPU so it was not as hot. You may want to use a tool like HWMonitor to inspect your CPU temperature while you are playing. If it is below 80 all the time it’s definitely not a problem. If it’s above 95 it’s definitely a problem and the cpu may “take a break” causing a stutter to avoid overheating
Agree, I would look at this first. Since it happens regularly, you should be able to see what process pops to the top of the CPU usage list.
Thank you all. But nothing helps. CPU Temp is at 50 - 60 C. No other task suffers CPU. I opened a requeat at zen-desk. In dev Mode i can see, (if freezing) the message: Limited by main thread. But have no idea to solve this problem. You guys? All the best, and will be happy to get more ideas.
Are you running any background monitoring apps or services for peripherals? Things to look for are iCue from corsair, afterburner etc.
The regular occurrence of this, along with the fact that their are not corresponding slow frame times in the sim main thread really makes me think this issue is outside of the sim itself.
Just a random thought as well, are you using a rolling cache? if so can you try it with it deleted. (im wondering if its i/o bound)
will try to delete the Cache…thx
That board and your ram support XMP, see if you can turn it on in advanced DRAM settings. If it’s not there you most likely need to update your bios.
On another note you can safely disable any startup items as they are never critical, if they were you wouldn’t be given the choice.
Also there was a problem with AMD chipset drivers so if you have it run MSI centre’s update function.
If you want to reduce CPU load, you can lower the Terrain and Object LOD. This is the most CPU intensive things. The other one is Instrument Refresh rate, you can set to medium. One thing you can try is to reduce slightly the resolution scale from 100 to 80. that should give you more headroom. You could also trying experimenting with the Affinity settings within Windows itself, giving priority to FS. In the older days (FSX), some would dedicate certain cords of the CPU to FS only. Might be worth a look. Example, lets say something is using Core 0 (Main thread) and it is sharing that core with FS. If you tell the system to run FS on other cores, that interference may go away. My .2. Just keep notes on settings and return them if things do not improve.
