Hi all,
Steam version here. I recently upgraded my Asus Crosshair Viii Hero + Ryzen 3950x with a new NVidia 3090 GPU. While it definitely handles the game better than my prior gpu, and while it’s pretty fine when set to “high”, it’s still a bit laggy at times when settings are set to ultra. With these specs I wouldn’t have expected that?
I have two 4k 60 hz monitors connected. Is this normal? Is there a specific setting I need to lower or change to take full advantage of all this power?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.
How are the monitors configured? Do you see the same image in both or you have an actual resolution of 7680x2160?
However stuttering (if that’s what you’re referring to) affects any configuration even at medium settings.
You’d be better off with a Ryzen 5800X instead of the 3950X, it has a higher IPC and more cores than MSFS will ever be capable of using.
It’s in extended mode, I see MFS on one and my desktop on the other. Each display is set to 3840 x 2160. But even if I disable the 2nd display, the stuttering still occurs on ultra.
During gameplay HWMonitor says only a handful of CPUs are actually being used at more than 50%, some of these go up to 80-90%. The vast majority (more than half) stay under 10-20%.
GPU utilization is at 100% though and doesn’t budge almost at all. Could the 3090 be the bottleneck? If more CPUs could be utilized, would that help optimize GPU usage? (I don’t know much if anything about these things.)
Update:
Ultra sets “Render Scaling” to 200. I lowered “Render Scaling” from 200 down to 100. It’s like a completely different game now. Totally smooth. Wild! Just that one setting totally fixed it for me. I’ll have to do some research to figure out what exactly that does.
It renders the game at 200% resolution – so you’ve been playing in 8K. What kinds of framerates did you get?
