Performance improvement

Microsoft Store Version

I found a way to improve the performance. I nearly got double the frames, without any visual issues.

I made changes to the Nvidia control panel profile for MSFS2020.

I tested it the whole Day and have no issues running like this.
The GPU is now running with 75-99%.
The CPU stays at 35-40%

These are my settings in the Nvidia control panel and in the same.

Hopefully you get a FPS improvement too.

For me it’s running butter smooth. Even low level, starfighter 500kts above EDDF, 45 fps. In 4K all on Ultra.

Specs: Ryzen 9 3900X, 128Gb RAM Corsair, Zotac RTX3090,ASROCK X570 Extreme, Toughpower 1200w, 2x M2 1TB SSD ( 1. Win10 / 2.MSFS2020)
3 x 1TB SSD.
Corsair CPU Watercooling, 5 Fan Case Cooling.
Win10
1Gb Internet Connection.

Hi. Thanks for your post. I expect you mean well, but to be honest: hugely sceptical.

With the huge improvement you describe there must have been something wrong before. Without seeing your previous settings there us no way to know and it’s a bit like listening to a snake oil salesman.

I guess you will get several people in the next few hours who tried it, some will have better performance and others will have had no improvment, or worse graphics or even get worse performance depending on their previous settings.

It’s just a tip and I think worse to try out.
My settings before:
It’s easy. They had been the same. Expect the Terrain Object Detail Lod Slider. This was 200 before and is now 300.

Before I didn’t make any changes to the Nvidia Control Panel profile.

As I said, it’s worse a try and no one is risking something with it.
In the Nvidia control panel you can just press restore and everything is back to how it was before making changes.

Maybe I miss something and it makes graphics worse…. for my 6-7h of testing I didn’t notice that the graphics looks worse.

Just setup a test situation before you change something and save it.
Then change the settings, load the situation and see if you have an improvement or not.

What kind of GPU, CPU…
system specs etc….

useless without that info IMHO

Just take a look at my profile ?!

VSYNC on in the sim and on the NVidia CP?

I gave it a go, just for the hell of it: sorry, but the suggested settings make little to no difference.

This sort of thing can be helpful - as any conversation where experience of various settings can be.
However, I do also think that even “power users” might over tweak or overlook settings here and there.

I have am guilty of this myself and indeed have seen occasions where a full reset to Nvidia defaults actually resulted in either “no difference” or an improvement in performance.
Why? Probably because I’ve made some change somewhere and just overlooked it while tweaking for other performance.

So…a reset and rebuild of the settings once in a while also helps.

The control panel overwrites the sim. It doesn’t matter if you leave the vsync on in the sim.

For me it makes a really noticeable difference.
Maybe for some others too.
I’m sure for some it won’t, but if even on or two finds a way to get more frames, why don’t give it a try.
That was my intention posting it.

Super ! best quality of image and not lost FPS I don’t understand ???

I even raised my fps :+1:
Glad to here it brings benefit to others too.

Great but it probably varies by specs and the 3090 is currently the top gpu on the market. Any of those changes I previously experimented in the to Nvidia CPL knocks performance off my rtx2060super.

Hope it works for you👍

Top answer! Very qualified.
If it’s not working for you. Just disregard it.

If it works only for one, that’s enough!

Thanks Storm…Brilliant m8…sim is running better with better visuals and fps…

Merry Xmas.
