Hi,
I recover FPS by distributing the graphics load by using a second computer in observer mode to display the window offsets thanks to Yourcontrols.
Initially, a powerful tower (I7-10700k - 32GB DDR 3200- RTX3080) but with 9 screens in total distributed as follows:
3 Samsung Odyssey 27" together in Nvdia surround mode for MSFS display proper
1 Dell 21" for the Overhead (Air Manager) panel of the A320NX Dev (soon to be replaced by a touch screen).
1 Dell 21" for third-party tools (Simbrief, Navigraph, Air manager, MSF Pop Out Panel, Yourcontrols, etc.)
4 tablets via Spacedesk to display: PFD; ND, the ECAMs, EFIS/FCU (Air Manager) operational in touch.
Suffice to say that on the ground sometimes it jerked, I sometimes fell at 15-20 fps. But a slightly diverted use of Yourcontrols makes it possible to delegate the detachments on the 4 tablets on an old Laptop or MSFS will be set to the weakest graphics since it will only display the instruments.
To use a single MSFS license (a copy of which is also installed on the laptop), two different email addresses are required, otherwise one of the two refuses to launch. Then we put Youcontrols in observer mode, all the manipulations are done on the FS of the tower.
Disadvantage: you have to launch MSFS on both machines
Advantage: I stay around 30FPS on the ground.

That right there is an awesome looking set up.
I am inspired!
I’m also definitely going to take a look at Yourcontrols. This sounds like a very interesting piece of software.
I may have questions later because I am also intrigued by your mention of getting 2 instances of FS2020 running on 2 different PC’s running nicely in sync to unload some of the overhead. I have a surplus of capable PC hardware and this could be very interesting indeed.
