I started to use FS 2020 last week, and my PC was setup with 16Gb ram. While it was somewhat playable, I had many times where the framerate was well under 10FPS and made the game nearly unusable, and guess what it was of course during landings
This week I ordered 16Gb more and installed them, for a total of 32Gb and now I have at least 48FPS which while not being great itās at least fully playable.
Therefore if you are like me, and wonder what is creating a huge bottleneck to your FPS => add more RAM if you can and you are under 32Gb.
For info, I have a Nvidia RTX 2060S with 8Gb, and an old 4 cores 3.5 Ghz (i7-4771) CPU.
But donāt be fooled, adding more ram will not make FS2020 load faster
Please elaborate. You say you increased your FPS by adding RAM but that did not make FS2020 faster. Your pageswap to disk is faster than having enough RAM? I agree that adding RAM will not increase the clockrate of your CPU
What are your settings?
I had to go from 16GB to 32GB and noticed better performance. Windows closed Flight Simulator on me flying over Scotland because it exhausted all my RAM.
My extra 16GB has been on the way since last friday xD. Only problem is that I remember dropping a bit of thermal paste in an unused RAM slot. Hope itās ok.
I have 16GB of memory, and Iām getting some pretty major seemingly random stutters. But, when I look at the actual RAM usage Iām not seeing anything significant.
The stutters are also pretty long as up to around 2 seconds so Iām pretty sure its not memory related, but Iāll probably try an extra 16GB because it couldnāt hurt.
Itās not a āliesā. I have 32GB and the game regularily uses 20GB in task manager. Any less than that and you ARE leaving performance on the table.
