Low to the ground, raining. Medium settings, with streaming services on (not that any of this makes much difference!)
i5 7600k @ 4.5ghz, no thermal throttling happening
nVidia GTX1060 w/ 6GB stock clocks
32GB RAM
Everything resides on a SATA SSD
30Mb/s cable internet
No third party apps/addons
What more to say?

how do you have the graphics setting and what resolution you can not with ner gtx1060 on ultra.
with gtx1060 set certain minimization.
Bizarrely, my fps were lower than normal today compared with previous days. I wonder is it connected with server load? Even if I lowered my settings and used a more simplistic aircraft I still got super low fps (between 12 and 18 fps) on gtx1080 and an i7 6700K @4.5ghz with 32gb RAM.
I was running 4K but I was getting between 22 and 32 fps in the same scenario previously. Whats weird as well is that if you change from 4K to 1080p there is not much difference in fps.
It will randomly do this on lowest overall settings sometimes, but I am running on medium in this video. I get very similar FPS at High as well. Doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference.
I only run the game on 1920x1080
You are mainly limited by main thread as the overlay say, basically its utterly CPU heavy, for any system. Airliners being the worse.
So doesn’t really matter what GPU settings you use as the CPU is being hammered so hard the GPU is just sitting there twiddling its thumbs.
Currently there is no way of sorting this out, there are hundreds of threads on this, there are no fixes, its an engine issue.
Yup, I have the same setup as you just with 16gb of ram. I’ve tried pretty much every setting in 4k, 2k, and 1080p, not a lot of difference at all. I can get a decent 60fps at higher alts but there’s occasional drops, on the ground once everything gets loaded in I’m around 20-30.

It’s super inconsistent as to when it happens, too. Sometimes I can have it sit at 40-50fps but it will still just randomly drop frames, and the stutter is the worst thing! Low FPS is doable as long as it’s consistent, ya know?
The Dev team will eventually have a fix. I cant imagine how challenging it is lol. X-Plane was the same until the Vulkan API came out and finally let the GPU do its work

Most developers release patches right after the first few days…
I don’t understand why small patches are not released. Maybe they need to collect more data
