If it is the ssd then, not alot i can do. 858gb is taken my msfs. The other ssd is the local disk (windows ect).
That’s a lot of stuff! Do you have every possible addon? I’m assuming that includes your community folder too.
My whole MSFS install folder is 391GB. Might be worth getting rid of some stuff you don’t use. To test it out, temporarily move them to the other drive or something. Or bite the bullet and buy a 2TB drive.
My guess is that this is at least part of the issue you’re seeing. I saw similar issues on my workstation laptop when trying to just copy files. Loading times get longer, copying files takes longer. And if you have the option, go for an NVMe drive as opposed to a 2.5" SSD. They are way faster.
I’ll go through what addons i have on this drive:
flight control replay
FBW installer
headwind installer
rex accuseasons
fs dream team
fs realistic
navigraph hub
community folder
I do use NVME, they’re both 980 pros 1tb.
I’ve got the drive cleared to 94gb free and the following screenshot is from the extra space…
I think you’d probably need to clear out at least 100GB more to see a difference. But that’s just my hunch. And remember to empty the recycle bin after deleting.
Try a disk benchmarking tool. Even Samsung Magician has one built in. But if you can swing it, go for one of these:
990 Pro 2TB
https://a.co/d/f6KA2U1
And when you provision it, leave 25-30% of the space unallocated. The drive works better that way. FWIW, my 2TB 990 Pro has 1.4TB available, on purpose.
all ok on the drive front…
I will look into a 2tb, but surely the drive isn’t causing such bad frame rates?
Thinking more about it… being full would affect writing more than reading and your benchmark looks ok.
Something is weird though. I’ve never seen limited by rdrthread.
Having more space definitely wouldn’t hurt.
For comparison, I have a similar system (4090 with 7950x3d vs your 7900x) and I’m running 3x4k HDR TVs (at 4k DLSS Quality) and then 5 extra touchscreen monitors running Air Manager instruments. The extras are running off of an Intel Arc A380. Super smooth 48FPS on the ground in the Bahama (MYER), in the TBM 850. It’s a lot of pixels. You should definitely be getting better than that.
With AMD FidelityFX Sharpening set to 200% it’s not surprising that it looks ugly. Personally I use it to 10%.
I know, something is holding it back! I cant think what? I’ve got the drive to 132gb free, but still high teens low 20’s fps.
Its not, its back to 100%
Yup, I just read the topic, I’m pretty sure you’re problem isn’t MSFS related…
Something else is messing with your setup. You need to free as much as possible your CPU in and outside the game. Terrain LOD at 200 is too much for exemple. Try at 100 to begin. Glass cockpit refresh rate is also very demanding on cpu. With my 13900k@5.7GHz all core, i’m on moderate.
Outside the game you need to kill all processes and services running in background that you don’t need. This is why I always install MSFS on it’s own dedicated OS/SSD.
If you’re still in 1080p , you should swith to TAA @200% resolution, activate Vsync and disable Nvidia reflex. You need to buffer as much images as you can
Are you still outputting at 1080p with your 4090?
Take a look at your task manager in windows. On the processes tab. See if anything is hogging GPU or CPU or even disks for that matter.

The dev tools FPS counter clearly shows things are massively GPU-limited. I don’t think it’s anything to do with the CPU side of things.
Render frametime on my 4090 @1920x1080 ultra preset is ~7ms. For some reason his is >40ms in most examples, which is ridiculously high. Our mainthread (CPU) frametime on the other hand is similar - around 20ms.

Yes I saw that… it’s why I think it’s not msfs related. There’s something else elsewhere. Maybe a driver, a hardware, a temp or malware issue… but obviously there’s something wrong here

Your screenshot still shows that you are rendering in FullHD only. But I guess the culprit is with nVIDIA Control Panel. Make sure you have all AA modes set to off in the control panel, especially MFAA and FXAA. This is nown to result in ridiculous high RdrThread times, and this is what your screenshot shows here.

I never had any AMD things, thanks God (kidding) but is it possible that integrated graphics messed up here ?

Integrated graphics should have no effect.
Unless for some raison there is a high economy powerplan involved somewhere… it’s too weird, there’s something uncommon here
