I am new to flight sim and need some advice. I have been experimenting on how to get the image quality better on MSFS2024, in particular getting the FPS to 45 or more in VR (per TheSimGuy YouTube video “MSFS 2024 / 2020 VR SETTINGS TIPS WHY 45FPS is SMOOTHER than 60FPS” ) .
I have a new Alienware R14 tower with AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12 core processor, 32MB RAM, and AMD Radeon RX6900 XT GPU. I use a Pimax Crystal Light HMD.
I have found that can get high FPS in 2D mode on my monitor, but when I go to VR, the FPS drops to around 10-15. To reduce the workload on the GPU, I have set the AMD Adrenaline GPU software to “Default” (rather than “Performance” or “Quality”), when seems to reduce the number of resources required of the GPU. I have set the PimaxPlay refresh rate to 90 hz, “Rendering Quality” to “High” (I have also tried low and low)”, the ”Preference” to “Performance”, and “Lock at Half Frame Rate”. OpenXR Runtime is set to “Pimax OpenXR”
My settings for MSFS 2024 include:
Anti-aliasing: TAA
Render scaling: 40
AMD FidelityFX Sharpening: 30
Reprojection: Off
World Scale: 100
Dynamic Settings-
Frame Rate Target: 90
Global Rendering Quality: Nearly all on “Low”, with a few on “Medium”
The power setting on the PC is set to “Performance”.
I have found that I can achieve around 12 to 15 FPS with these settings. If I increase the settings that would increase quality of image, the FPS drops.
Is anyone using the same CPU and GPU with MSFS2024 and getting better FPS results? What are your settings?
