I guess you could try running at a lower refresh rate on your monitors and see if that makes a difference?
I’m running 4K on a 50" TV with the same GPU, but that’s only at 60Hz.
Some people have recommended locking the fps to 30 to eliminate the frame rate variable. You really don’t need high frame rates for flight sims.
Put quite simply, the sim needs some optimisation fixes and updates from Asobo. Until these come quite a few of us will be suffering from stuttering and low fps issues. Band aids from the community are great and very much appreciated but it shouldn’t be up to third parties to provide fixes.
Hopefully, the important fixes for performance will be coming soon for this next gen sim.
No intentions to that any of this is an issue on your system but well worth investigating for trouble shooting procedure.
Monitor resolution plays a large part in frame rates. For large displays the amount of data that can be sent can be a significant bottleneck. That said, the the type of connection (display port or HDMI) can make a difference to. Refresh rates might also be lowered for the lower frame rates to be expected. Some need vertical sync on and others off. All of these are relative no matter what gpu or cpu or chipset or memory.
And yes turning things up to ultra is cool. The scaling sliders are what pushes the draw process more than most of the other settings so try reducing those a bit.
I have the same Setup
Ryzen 9 3900X
RTX 2080
32GB RAM
I Play on 3840x1080 in High/Ultra and habe about 30-40 fps At Airliner outside and about 30 fps in cockpit a320
Mainthread 45ms. I have around 11ms 3600x.
What background software like antivirus is running?
If you run a high refresh monitor this is a must. i gained about 15FPS by this tweak. I reckon youll get even more since your monitor is a higher refresh.
Yeah and then have your instruments panel be a powerpoint slide show… Stop making excuses for the FS developers shipping an unfinished and horribly un-optimized product. How would you like your FMC updating once every few seconds like a slideshow just to get extra 5fps in the rest of the sim when you’ve already got taxed and then taxed again?
My system is:
Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 2060 Super
32GB RAM
m2 WD SSD 1TB
144Hz LG display @ full HD
The sim is completely playable for me. I fly GA planes, and FPS is usually between 48-58 depending on cloud situation. Near ground level above huge forests or bigger cities, in cloudy weather it can drop to around 38fps. At busier, big airport take-offs it’s similarly around 35-38, but after I got airborne FPS rises quickly. Details options are high/ultra.
What is important: never had any stuttering or micro-freezes since I play, it’s silky smooth even when it drops to the mid 30s.
So judging by this I think your FPS numbers seem to be realistic and correct for you PC, but you shouldn’t have any stutters. It’s not performance bottleneck, it’s more like a hardware or software conflict.
Your comments on these forums continue to amaze me, you know so little about… anything really.
Real life GA avionics run roughly at 30-60hz (60hz being rare, only found in high end GA i believe)
Most airliners run at 20-30hz, you don’t need your airspeed indicator to refresh 144 times per second, 20 times a second is just fine.
30HZ = 30 refreshes per second. NOT like you say once every few seconds.
If you don’t know what you are talking about you should just not post.
TLDR in real life aircraft the instrument and onboard screens rarely exceed 20-30hz on airliners. Most GA run 30hz screens but can go up to 60hz.
Conclusion: If you run a 120/144hz monitor you should rapply this tweak to gain smoothness and fps. If you run 60 or 75hz you can also do it, since it would still be realistic.
Edit: Just incase you don’t understand any of it: we’re not adjusting monitor refresh, just instrument refresh.

You might try turning off HPET in device manager. I found that to fix stuttering in multiple programs, including 3DMark. Hardware is ASUS MBoard, AMD3900x, 64 GB ram, PCI-4 SSD (Sabrent), RTX2070 Super.
