MSFS 2020 Benchmark, nothing in Community folder, the stock A320, weather settings few clouds, no AI or online traffics etc. as shown in the video, and flying with the internal AI, recording with CapframeX, and the conditions and flight practically always are the same and you can compare different hardware configurations, or between different users etc… I will add the same exact flight plan file for the benchmarking repetitions flights here.

You have a nice settings benchmark for your future comparisons if you upgrade with faster or higher quality components. Good Idea and I should do the same with my system.
Another with the difference of LODs 200
My 13900KS has approx. the half performance than this 7950X3D
Is that possible?, is there some wrong in the video, or my config.?
Thanks for adding the CapFrameX info. I will definitely add that to my PC toolkit.
Really good, I have found almost 10 FPS in average and 5 in LOW, in the 200 LODs video, the problem was that I have two monitors, one 1080p connected to the iGPU and the other to the GPU, and I have read today that intel in the next gen is going to add L4 cache only for the iGPU, so I tried only with the monitor of the GPU on, disabled in Windows or/and BIOS the monitor of the 13900, with the same result, and eureka, I have had some FPS more. I would have to record the first video again with this manner (re edit: no, with LODs 100 with iGPU off in the other monitor, is the same, maybe with LODs 100 the CPU caches are enough for all).
And DX12 a bit worse:
Here’s a CapFrameX capture graph I just did.
2560 x 1440, DLSS Super Resolution - Quality, HDR on, Frame Sync Off.
Bonanza G36 (Enhanced) flying in Bosnia, SW of Sarajevo @10,000 ft. (~5,000 ft. AGL)
- AMD 5800X3D (water cooled.)
- MSI B550-A Pro, latest release BIOS - Kombo Strike Level 3, Virtualization OFF, RBAR enabled, Above 4GB GPU enabled, XMP-2, Hyperthreading (SMT) enabled.
- nVidia Driver 531.29 (after DDU clean.)
- EVGA RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Gaming 24GB (air cooled.)
- 64GB HP V10 DDR4 Samsung B-die (3600 MHz, CAS 14) I’m using a 16GB Ram Drive for MSFS Rolling Cache.
- EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GM, 80 PLUS Gold 850W. (550W draw during this flight.)

Here’s a tougher environment. Flying into Tokyo @ 5,000 AGL. The last 40 seconds were at street level.
Here is what I got with your Benchmark Flight:
7800X3D
Asus Rog Strix X670e-f
RTX4090
Corsair Dominator DDR5-6000 @5400Mhz due to EXPO limitation
Windows 10
Iam using the LOD Terrain and Objects 200 setting.
Disabling the Memory Integrity like Microsoft recommend only when gaming and then back to on, is a must in MSFS, almost a 20% of gains with it off:
ON:
OFF= almost 20% more of frames and lows:
And even better if disabled in BIOS Virtualization, in cre di ble, it is like to have a new hardware. I had already the Virtual related W11 features as recommended before these last tests and in the first one benchmark test, though now disabling Virtualization in BIOS… a new machine. I enabled the core isolation in Defender, then I rebooted, then I went to BIOS and I disabled Virtualization and VOILÀ, the same sure that directly to have disabled the Core Isolation sure and then Disable the Virtualization in BIOS, but I did it so, just in case.
This time 25% better in average, lows almost the same fps:
With LODs in 200, better too, brutal, almost a 50% better, though still 20% less than the AMDs X3D achieving 90s fps:
Fantastic tool and guidelines! Thank you!
Here’s my result.
F2020 ultra settings 4K
CPU 7800X3D stock
GPU 4900 stock
64 MB RAM@6000mhz
Quite disappointing performance, over Manhatten often less than 10 FPS, rest 40-60
Here my results. At ultra 4K.
First is F2020, second is F2024. As you can see over NY, I get some big spikes, like a micro full stop, then back to 100 fps.
The lowest FPS are right in the center of Manhattan, close to the roofs
System waiting for streamed PG data?
How’s your internet connection?
This is info (along with computer specs) we’re all going to have to get used to providing in these kinds of threads.
I’m been promoting CapFrameX all over this forum. I use it all the time.
300MB fibre
Thanks! I am being called to table, sorry for shortness.
Something is wacky then. I know it doesn’t show the same graph, but here’s a test with a Bonanza @ 1500 AGL over NYC.
This was FS24, pre-SU1
7950X3D, 64 GB DDR5-6400/CL32, 3090 Ti (so no frame gen), 1Gb fiber
Ultra Preset, TLOD/OLOD both = 200, DLSS 4 Quality (so 2K upscaled to 4K)
You should definitely not be running out of VRAM with that 4090.
Have you updated your BIOS, followed by a chipset driver update?
I think it’s good to keep those updated.
To day i did two benchmark flights with MSFS2020 and MSFS2024.
System
AMD 9800x3d, RTX4070 Super, 64GB DDR5 (6000Mhz).
Sim running on triple mon. configuration (3x1920x1080) + extra mon. (1920x1080) for ATC and flight radar.
The result is that MSFS2020 is far more stable, has better performance (FPS), less stutters and looks much better and sharper then MSFS2024.
Test flights according to bench flight KJFK (rw 31L) to KLGA (rw 31) with A320v2 inibuilds.
During the flights altitude 3000 ft, speed 220 knots, clear skys, TAA+FG.
MSFS2020
All settings high, TLOD 200 and OLOD 150
AI traffic and real time weather off.
MSFS2024
Most settings high.
Trees, plants, grass, rocks, glass cockpit, buildings an fauna medium.
TLOD and OLOD 100.
AI traffic and real time weather off.
Resumé,
It’s possible for me to fly with MSFS2024, but only with lower settings.
I can’t fly with higher settings of TLOD and OLOD then 100, otherwise i get a lot more stutters and overall much lower fps then with MSFS2020.
The scenery of MSFS2020 is sharper and the performance is better then with MSFS2024 and therefore i fly more with the old sim then i fly with the new one.
Looks very smooth, congrats! But you are flying on a higher altitude.
Then, of course, it’s difficult to normalize benchmarks of 2 “quite different” games… But your personal experience is always the real standard.
Have you tried with stock recommended profiles? (in game, or in Nvidia app).
Then, we should all run this benchmark with 1 monitor, for the sake of comparison, or is multimonitor irrelevant? Once done, run more benches as you like.
Yes, i was flying on 3000ft.
I did this benchmark only to compare the 2020 and 2024 versions of the sim on my computer configuration.
I will try the benchmarks according to the standard settings and on one monitor.
