I think you don’t have enough trust level (not enough messages on the Forum) to be able to post there.

Hello, thanks you for you explanation, I was not aware of the fact with the trust levels. But now I can do, so everythings fine. Thank you. :grinning:

5900X here - the CPU is a beast so haven’t noticed any slowdowns (barely breaks a sweat feeding the 3080ti after the magic Asobo did on thread management). But good that MS is fixing a rather glaring bug ASAP.

Upgrading to Windows 11 is pretty simple and imo if you can do it I see no reason not to from Windows 10. The UI looks a lot more modern though does take a little time to get used to. The only issue I have ran into so far was the latest Nvidia driver which is apparently Windows 11 ready, I had to roll back as it caused some strange graphics glitch. Performance wise I’ve not been having any issues though reading up on VBS and HVCI is a good idea.

First, I have never purchased the first year of a new vehicle model. By the second year of generation, many of the flaws have been solved. I feel the same with new software releases. Let the market innovators be the guinea pigs.

Second, that new state-of-the-art computer becomes more obsolete with every update to the operating system and program within it.

So far, I see nothing in Windows 11 that I need or want. I suspect I’ll be on 10 for a long time.

Right. Your choice.

Some people do not want electric cars too. Or even cars when there were still horses.

I’m glad to be a guinea pig then.
I enjoy a new Windows version that is perceivably faster in many areas - on the same computer.
And MSFS is running the same (or very slightly faster according to some who did measurements).

P.S.
Every Windows releases - including the regular updates - bring their lot of issues.

It’s also very easy to roll back

Updated yesterday. Main problem so far is the WMR bug = “Windows Cannot Install This App”. So my £700 HP Reverb G2 is currently a nice looking paperweight! Debating whether to wait a while to see if it gets fixed or return to Window 10 - I cloned the C drive first!

i9 9600K @4.8 GHz, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080Ti, Corsair RM850x Gold, couple of 1TB m.2 NVME’s

To be totally objective, I just read through various “Best Windows 11 features” articles; best 5, best 10, best 25, etc. Again, I cannot find anything I need or want. They are all a “so what?”. Although rounded corners on boxes sounds really exciting. :rofl:

Waiting for a second year soaked product in a new product or generation of product is a lot different than not accepting a new technology like electric vehicles or horseless carriages.

I guess it all boils down to if you have NVme or not … who needs new technology Huh? :sunglasses:

I have no idea what that means.

What I did see is GlennAir1953’s post. If 11 cannot play nice with my new HP Reverb G2, that is a real reason to avoid it until it can. I wonder how many other surprises are lurking in 11’s program?

Hi all,

Any one enable Microsoft Windows 11 VBS ? Is your flight simulator FPS drop after enable?

I get it… I was just pulling your leg.
When you’re ready. But still, it’s very stable.

Finally the voice of reason.

Not sure if W11 has much to do with it but in reality this AMD hating site benched me well above their advertised results of Game 90%, Desk 95%, Work 92%

UserBenchmarks: Game 111%, Desk 102%, Work 111%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X - 97.1%
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 - 110.6%
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB - 372.9%
SSD: Crucial P5 3D NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB - 279.3%
SSD: Crucial BX500 240GB - 63.2%
HDD: Toshiba MK3265GSXN 320GB - 32.6%
HDD: Samsung HM250HI 250GB - 49.9%
RAM: G.SKILL F4 DDR4 3200 C14 2x8GB - 92.3%
MBD: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI (MS-7C95)

I have an OC on the gpu and xmp @ 3600Mhz but there’s no way that accounts for this difference. The two HDD’s are in RAID-0 config but they and the other ssd’s don’t add to the score.

UserBenchmark is a great tool for comparing your performance against other PCs/components that are or are close to being alike, everything else it tells you ignore it.

I’m not so sure, these two results used exactly the same components but I’m betting they always exaggerate Intel’s the other way. Their total bias is pretty well known.

Are those physical drives external, they seem to be benching pretty low even for spinners?

We have like cousin systems …
