Performance worse than SU3

Dont know if this is the correct place to post this, but am I the only one who has worse performance in SU4?

I see everyone talking about how good SU4 is, but since the release of SU3, for the first time again I have stutters and short freezes. And forward movement of my head is like everything is moving in in 5 fps. Turning head and looking up and down is fine tough. And first time in a very long time I got the GPU memory message.

I tried LHR with SI traffic in SU3 before the release of SU4, and performance was not great, but still ok. But in SU4 LHR and Sayintentions traffic is completely unplayable

Performance in SU4 is far better than in SU3. However, simply keeping the old settings is not a good idea. The behavior of certain settings has changed significantly, so it is recommended to optimize the settings again for your system. In particular, if you receive the GPU Mem Warning, there is a reason for this message, and you should take action.

When I intially tried SU4 I had stutters as well. All standard settings per SU3 using TAA. Very disapointed. Then tried using Nividia DLSS Super Res and the Frame Gen per below. My general settings are mid level. All of a sudden it was butter smooth. More testing tonight. RTX4700 Super TI, 64gb.

Its running about 20-30% better for me personally. It was running great in SU2, and good in SU1. I really have never had any big issues. Each Sim update I am able to push the settings slightly higher.

This may be on the same level of “have you turned it off and back on again” but have you cleared your shader cache? Made sure your drivers are all up to date, and did a hard restart of the computer, not reset, but press and hold the power button until the machine shuts off, leave for the memory to clear about 30 seconds or so, then turned it back on?

Right after installing the sim I was getting some stutter and audio popping, but a good ole restart and clearing the shader cache did the trick and things are back to being butter smooth.

Please see other threads on this. Generally a local isaues, reinstalling, clearing caches, removing add ins helps fix this issue.

Your settings are for 2D display, not for VR. Frame Gen is not supported in VR, at this is VR sub forum.
