I made a bit of a break through with stuttering even with 1.14 client, i found some areas even with a 4090 still struggled with some stuttering with SS on. The fix or a good bit of it is to set DLSS to performance rather than quality (balanced still had more stutter), not seeing a drawback to it with the latest DLSS dll and the 750 gtn pms so far, the alternative, a completely vanilla install and quality dlss has zero stutters at least for me with smart smoothing. Works better at least largely now. Not perfect

Replying just to say… Great, helpful thread. Just adopted the Pimax Crystal Light (from G2v2) and look forward to further tweaking of everything after reading your comments. For once, it’s nice to see a group supporting each other, rather than constant bashing and negativity. My sincere thanks!

Hey folks, as this group’s commentary has been a bit more technical, here’s an interesting tweak made this evening. If anyone is comfortable testing it, it would be interesting to see if you encounter the same level of performance gain before recommending in the larger groups.
In short, the MSI Utility V3 was used to ensure the MSI Box is enabled (checked) for my RTX 4090, while also setting the interrupt priority for the RTX 4090 to High via drop-down menu (It was not prioritized before doing this).
Essentially, this prioritizes the graphics card to reduce latency and stutters. There’s a ton written about this online, so please excuse the brevity of that description, though anyone with a large number of peripherals can deal with issues cause by this level of interrupt management.
Performing the above, using the MSI Utility V3, hitting “Apply” then rebooting should arm you to test.
Launching MSFS2024 after a successful reboot, the update was tested with my usual settings (DLSS Balanced, and resolution limited to 3800 by XXXX in the OXR Toolkit).
My normal test run, low-level flight through the Alps, yielded significantly smoother flight and better frame-rate averages, so I removed the OXR Toolkit’s resolution override, and maintained a rather consistent 45 frames, near 50 at higher altitudes. The clarity was obviously better by removing the 3800 by XXXX resolution override, and it was as smooth at “native” as it was at 3800 by XXXX.
Would anyone be willing to test? Preferably, this should be tested by someone with a high level of technical PC experience who could set a restore point, make these changes, then test. Understanding, if anything goes wrong, you should be able to restore easily.
Candidly, I haven’t seen this level of clarity and/or framerate at “native” resolution settings, and it may be worth testing. Anyone game to try?
My System and basic Pimax settings:
AMD Ryzen 7950x, 64GB Ram, RTX 4090,
ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO MB (Slightly OC'd).
Pimax running at 120hz, Render Quality at High, Locked
to Half Framerate and Hidden Area Mask checked.
Please post any findings, and hopefully you won’t run into the BSOD issue by adjusting the MSI and Priority exclusively for your video card.
PS: As a side note, if you ever run into an issue while testing things like this, and MSFS2024 chooses not to run when the shortcut is clicked. Google Search “Repair and Reset XBox App in Windows”.

I always heard that you use MSI Utility V3 to enable (check) MSI box for the Gpu. Along with with priority “High”. Isn’t that also what the video in the link is showing?

You are exactly right, thanks for catching that! I have corrected the text in my original post, along with the screenshot.
Oddly it worked the way originally described, but testing with MSI Checked and Unchecked, the results didn’t seem to vary much. It was setting the video card priority to High that seems to have made the difference.
Very much appreciate the review!
