I just received my new PC. Full specs below:
i9-10900K
Gainward RTX 4080
32GB 3200MHZ ram (locked at 2900)
MSI H410M-A PRO Motherboard
240MM Water cooling
850W PSU
50 - 100MBPs internet (althought i got between 10 and 70 when downloading MSFS)
I was horrified when I loaded into a game with a stock Cessna and was getting under 30FPS. I was using DX12, Frame generation, and it was consistently limited by my Main Thread. I know the stock i9-10900k is still one of the top CPU’s out there. I turned off traffic from online to off and it went up to 30 - 40, but this wasn’t even in the air, and not at a huge airport (Munich)
I’ve seen other people with 4080’s easily get 80+FPS with fame generation, and 60+ on the fenix. I got a very unstable 15 - 20 with the Fenix. This is insane, I just spent $3000 on a PC for terrible FPS, and a top of the line CPU (i9-10900K), for it to be consistently limited by the Main Thread. Interestingly, in MSFS, I noticed my CPU only goes to 4.7GHz, whereas when I was downloading some apps it went to 4.9.
I’d really, really appreciate some help here. Thanks!
