I was sent here by OverKill Simulations and I just followed your 3 videos about NVIDIA and MSFS2020 graphics settings and I cannot believe how much of a improvement this has made. I got a 20 to 30 FPS increase!!! This is amazing.
Hey there Jonathan im.so happy you tried this and even more happy that you experienced a great gain in performance . 😀 thanks for posting this happy flying
Overkill is who pointed me here as well! I just went thru it all a 2nd time because I missed a couple steps in ticking certain checkbooks my 1st time thru so went thru it again this time watching the entire thing on my phone as I went. Crossing fingers I'll have as great of results as you did! Happy flying!!
Hey Charles thanks so much for the donation ❤️ im very happy they help you . 😊 if you need anything please let me know . Updates are a beaver lol what you also may want to do is take screenshots of your settings with the snip tool and put them in a file or USB drive this way you will have a picture diary of everything in case of a issue or update. Thanks again buddy 👍
I’ve been chasing a problem with low fps around airports for over a year and after watching your video it completely fixed it! So much more enjoyable, thanks so much!
All I can say is wow: I do have an old pc. i5 6600k with a GTX 980ti. After your tips and tricks from all your videos I get stable and very smooth on ultra other that the level of terrain details at 140 I'm getting a complex airports with the PMDG 737 40fps very stable and no stuttering. All I can say is WOW!!!!
The results are AWESOME! I had my sim limited at 30FPS using vertical sync, and I THOUGHT it was running nice. I had learned to live with the micro stutters. After doing this, the smoothness of the sim is INCREDIBLE. I really cannot thank you enough, my GTX 1080 is performing amazingly! Subscriber for life!
Oh really awsome I did not know that so I would make the 1st time stamp 00:00 and then the following times 😀 thanks overkill love your channel. Thanks for the comment 😀
Excellent. I'm running GTX1080 with R7 1700x and I got easily a 50% improvement. I even notched up terrain level of detail to 300% 1080p -From avg 25fps to 40fps over Orbx UK North + terrain on ULTRA - low shadows. You got yerself a new sub.
Hey thanks so much for the comment and sub . 😊 I'm happy this helped you . Keep a look out I am in editing of my next performance settings video and this will help a lot hope you enjoy it.
i had really bad 30 fps with a lot of stuttering and now its so amazingly smooth at 35+.. i cant believe what your hints have done. Big thumbs up!!!!! Thank You!
Thank you for your last 2 videos! As VR is much more demanding for any system, your tipps with installing the invidia driver without these performance eating additionals and also the adjustments after the latest simupdate, nvidia graphics settings, config settings and VR graphic settings in the sim itself made such an extrem difference. Right now it is so smooth and clear with almost no stutters or lags and, in my system, even with the h125 and 89% resolution of the reverb g2 with the latest open xr toolkit. Thanks again and please keep on making such good videos with your excellent way of step by step explanations.
Overkill is right! Great content as always. Each of your videos are so well thought out, explained so the average ( Less Tech savvy ) user can follow along step by step. Between your two videos I went from 11 FPS in the FBW A320 at KJKF to 22 FPS. I know 22 is not great but it is flyable until I can upgrade my RTX2080Ti . Now my Graphics settings are the same as yours with but a few exceptions. Most places outside of KJFK I was getting a steady flyable 20 FPS - Now its's like a solid 40 FPS. Thanks Dude! You Rock,!
I would be updating your CPU, before you dismiss that 2080ti. My second pc is an ITX z690 12900k 32BG 5200 DDR5 with a 2080t!i Almost never below 30 fps in any scenario, in 4K ultra settings, and 50-60 fps all day long in the sky. If you were at 11 fps, you are limited by your current CPU is my best guess. I had that card in a Z490 platform with a 9900K and I still never dropped below 23 fps at ultra 4k. Don't upgrade your card- you will see no difference until you upgrade your CPU / mobo.
@@vyper883 My Current GPU is an EVGA KINGPIN Hybrid with the LN2 BIOS upgrade so I have no plans to get rid of it. I do want a RTX4000 GPU when they're released so I will skip the RTX3000 series unless I see a Huge Delta in pricing between the two series. If I go the CPU route I will build a new package ( even if I use the KP GPU in it until the 4000 comes out) and then use the 9900 system as a second PC for my rig. (3 55" 4K 60hz Displays suck up a lot of HP. Thoughts on on MB and Ram are welcomed. Thanks
This is, without a doubt, THE best setup video for MSFS. I loved the fact you explained why you were doing things. I have a very high-end PC and the Varjo Aero for VR. After following your guide, MSFS had never been better! Thank you 🙏. Needless to say, I have subscribed!
@@2020fsers I also went through your driver install video. Once again…. Fantastic! I have very high settings and use the foveated rendering in OpenXR Toolkit. I now get super smooth performance with only the odd micro-stutter. I think that the last few stutters are down to Asobo rather than my system now. Thanks again. I am so glad I came across your channel!!!!
Was recommended to this video by Dave at Hype Performance - really glad he did. Super clear instructions, really easy to follow. Got another 20 frames by losing at three NVidia processes from Task Manager.Subscribed and rang the bell. Gotta keep chasing them frames!! Oh, I also turned VSync off, and I get a consistent 40 fps on my main monitor with three Helionix screens popped out into individual windows on my second monitor - no more 50% frame rate hit with each additional pop out window.
oh snap i didnt even try the pop out frames that will hel;p so many users thanks now i will have to test that . thanks for the comment glad it worked for you
Great video! Really smoother out my sim, less stutters, more fluidity, and the color is better (less saturated). Pixelation in clouds seems gone as well. Great stuff thanks!
Couple of great videos, thanks so much. Smooth as silk now with increased fps. Couldn't believe there was 11 different folders for Nvidia sitting in the Task Manager...... now only 2. Thanks again!
Problem solved. I have received my new RTX 3070Ti today and wow oh wow. I am now hitting steady 50s to 60s fps on 2k res ultra settings all in sim combined with i7 10700k cpu and 32gb ram. So bye bye RTX 2060, it was right time to upgrade and honestly i am super happy. My new card is such a big improvement. Thanks again for your video and previous support. Happy flyer now
This is a GREAT video! ONE thing I wanted to mention that I just found out is to REMOVE MODS from COMMUNITY folder! I had the P38 and Working Title CJ4 mod, removed them, now after your settings I’m getting 70 fps with 2060 super.
Perhaps one of the greatest videos on RUclips and so well explained. I don't agree with your outline on triple buffering though. With the option disabled (and Vsync enabled), the game must wait until the next vertical retrace before it can start rendering the next frame. Vertical retraces occur at the vertical refresh rate, typically in the 60-100 Hz range. Turning off Vsync eliminates this delay and provides the highest frame rate but can cause tearing. With triple buffering enabled, the game renders a frame in one back buffer. While it is waiting to flip, it can start rendering in the other back buffer. The result is that the frame rate is typically higher than double buffering with vsync enabled without any tearing. What this means in practice is that if you get screen tearing, turning on Triple Buffering might actually eliminate the tearing without having to turn on vsync thus bumping frame rate in the process. If you still get tearing with triple buffering, then you might have to go the vsync method by disabling Triple Buffering and just enabling Vsync. What you don't want to do is enable Triple Buffering and Vsync at the same time as it will hamper the frame rate as each frame draw call is going to occur at the vertical retrace. Hope this helps :)
aight, gonna try the triple buffer on with vsync off now and see what happens, will update update: hella screen tearing, don't use triple buffering at all
MATE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! MY sim is so much smooth now, saw a massive difference. Thanks for sharing your tips and Nvidia control panel settings love the content
Ha! I'm so glad you mentioned that you will always be limited by something, and not worry about it if the frames and stability is good. Too many will say something is wrong because they are either CPU or GPU bound. Yay you!
hey thanks for the comment . i have gotten emails already from people getting 50 fps sayin im limited how can i make it go away and you can't. lol just be the best you can be thanks again
Since last OpenXr, toolkit and sim update my vr was unflyable. Thanks to your settings everything looks smooth again. I don't know why but once again your settings made my day. I just need to better set up my controls and go flying. Thank you!!🙂🙂🙂
You are absolutely Genius, what can i say you ended my misery, ive been chasing this since December last year, now i can say im playing FSMS. 2020 on VR. 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊😊 Im going to paste this on the othere videos I've watched Im Running your specs on GPU 3070 /Hp Reverbe 2 first version and i am so satisfied!... You are the man Aye, Aye, Captain 😀😀😀
Nice overview w/o requiring viewers to be CPU/GPU wonks. There is a lot of nuance to all of these settings - yet you kept it very understandable and PRACTICAL. Thank you.
I done this and then found your Nvidia bloat tutorial. Made everything so much smoother. Only a small critique but can you add in the description above to do the Nvidia Bloat tutorial first so they don't have to change the Nvidia settings twice.
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it. I actually Just finished filming an updated video to my SIM. Update 11 video I did that should be coming out the end of this week.
8:43 Not that I suffer from screen tearing, but I'll ask all the same. I have a G-Sync monitor, I take it if you have such a monitor you would have V-Sync off in both applications, and let the monitor control the everything? Just make sure G-Sync is on in the nVidia control panel. great video bro. A font of knowledge.
If you try the second video you can most likely pick up a significant increase by debloating your nvidia driver especially on that card. But yes 😆 I did spend all day over 12 hours shooting and editing so that I can get them uploaded together. Thanks for the comment . 😀 and thanks for noticing the time involved in these vids.
@@reggiefowler2700 Reggie, In steam I go to c drive, username, appdata (normally this is a hidden file, if you don't see it look for the option to display hidden files in your file explorer and check that) then scroll down to msfs flight simulator you'll see any flight plans but look for your usercfg.opt file, I recommend making a copy of that file to store/save in a safe place before editing the file but it's easy peasy. Good luck!
Thanks for your suggestions and for making this video. I would be careful forcing ray-tracing "on" on older GPU's (Gtx1060) these oldies are having a hard time keeping up with modern techniques. Have a great weekend ;-)
Thanks for the comment . As of right now I don't think raytracing is implemented in msfs but in previous updates it helped with graphics it may not do much now for graphics I just suggest to try it and see . Someone using laptop just told me he had a 4 fps hit on that setting so it's hit or miss but worth a try can always switch back. Thanks again happy flying
I often see people recommending turning supersampling down or off... However, I notice textures in the distance become blurry when this setting is turned off--for example centerlines on a runway. The higher the number you set here, the further in the distance the texture will remain sharp. If you're taxing around in a go-cart you might not notice, but get a few feet above the ground or use an elevated exterior view and you'll notice there's a difference. In any case always appreciate your tips in general and the effort you put into producing these videos--much more post production work than most other flight sim channels out there.
Thanks for the reminder, I followed the video but I lost my depth pf field like you, approach became a nightmare Everything was blurred, I could not make out the runway until about one mile from touchdown, don't panic I said. The taxiway lines etc where practical non existent. Yes it was because I turned off Texture Super Sampling, all back to normal now.
Great information, thank you. My initial feedback: I followed everything as indicated. When I launched FS2020, with my previous settings, I had dropped about 5fps. Using Terrain LOD=10 (previously 200), Shadow Maps=1536, Contact Shadows=512, and Cubemap reflections=192, I gained 10 fps (everything else as suggested). I have yet to fly these settings but they looked good sitting at the gate. Thanks again for all the effort!!!
hey thanks for the comment if you did happen to turn on raytracing switch that off and see if you get an increase in fps some uses have stated it gave them a hit and others not.
@@2020fsers You are correct. I didn't have success with raytracing in the past. So, raytracing=OFF, Terrain LOD=100, and the other settings I mentioned now as you suggested. FPS pushing 40 sitting at the gate (FBW A20N). I think this will work. Awesome, thank you!
As a follow up, flew KJFK to KCLT, FBW A20N, live traffic and weather with great results. FPS never went below 30 (45 fps in CRZ). All settings as suggested except raytracing OFF. - ASrock B450M Pro, Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB, GTX1660, 1920x1080.
Good job, Captain. Will be firing up my laptop Monday morning, along side my desktop to follow step by step. I doubt I'll ever fly VR. I'm running an Alienware, I7000,GTX1070. 16gig memory. 1T, Samsung SSD. Everything, Flight Sim, is on this drive. Within MSFS, I put settings for high end machine not ultra. Frames hanging around 30-35. Am always ready to try different stuff like what you are showing here. Keep the blue side up.
hey thanks Steve i would also try the other video i did on how to debloat your nvidia driver that will give you a big boost . let me know how things go for you thanks for the comment buddy !
@@2020fsers I watched the second video, first. I'm old, I do things backwards. You and Overkill are the 2 premiere streamers right now. I follow about 30 different streamers but you 2 gentlemen get checked out first. Have a good remainder of the weekend.
Incredible video thank you Just a question I have a RTX 3080 (not Ti) and in the video you reccomend to set Vsync Off in the symulator But in the video of the UserCfg there is Vsync to 1 It is reccomended to set it on or off? Another thing you reccomend HDR to off becouse the monitor is no HDR or it is better to set it off? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the comment so vsync I only set in the sim itself don't worry about the cfg file and I know these are settings for the sim . The quick answer to this is it all depends on your system and what is best for you I describe the 2 ways for either using it or not depending on your outcome with screen tearing . Try both methods and see what works for you. And for hdr I always leave that off .
You got the Background Application Max Frame Rate setting wrong. It doesn’t effect the framerate of background tasks, it effects the framerate of the simulator when *it* is the background task - for example if you bring a browser window to the front. The whole point of having individual profiles in the control panel is that the settings in that profile only effect one particular program and not other programs that are running at the same time
Thanks for your comment I am aware of that now with the background fps after I made the video thank you tho for the info. I understand the point behind individual profiles that's pretty self explanatory.
wow this is amazing ! i did the entire process and i dont get stutters anymore and my frames are way higher than before im running a 11700K RTX 3070 and 32 gigs of ram and now i can say i get very close to 60 frames while im in big cities and in the air i get around 80 or 90 frames , i did install the game in a different drive so the config procces was not possible, i couldnt find the file . but amazing tutorial
Background max fps is for when the game is not in focus. Say if you minimize it or alt tab to a different window. It has nothing to do with any other apps.
Same settings for DCS? And i7-7700K w/strix 3070TI and SSD and M2 - 2K monitor, thoughts on vertical sync in nvidia and msfs? DCS? Awesome video man thank you!!
Thanks for the comment .... not sure about dcs I have never tried it. . Vsync works for some people and not for others that is something that needs to be tested on an Individual basis.
Will you be updating this video to reflect any changes needed for the upcoming Sim Update 10? By the way, this tutorial is great for me with limited technical knowledge and a low to mid-level PC.. I love your step-by-step thoroughness and the fact that you do not ignore those of us with lower end PCs.. Just out of curiosity, are you willing to let us know which CPU and GPU you are using? I would hope to be able to emulate it, someday, especially with graphics card prices coming down.
@@2020fsers Thank you so much for your quick reply. Also, very pleased to hear you will be updating the tweaks as needed for Sim Update 10. I was almost reluctant to go ahead and make changes but I thought you had done so and might realize a need for an update to this video. One more, out of curiosity, question, which VR headsets do you like? It seems to me that we are very close to having them go mainstream providing greater competition and thus fabulous performance and lower prices. I know I will be needing to update my PC prior to going VR but that is still my ultimate objective.
Thanks 😊 in my opinion I would wait to buy a vr set as there is a lot of new tech comming and everything out there now is old tech still nice but the prices of the new stuff may be the same not sure yet . I have a pimax 8kx and a reverb g2 and a valve index my. Of the 3 the reverb is a great buy but again it's old tech .. I am awaiting the apara 5k I'm hoping that will be a leap forward. We will see . But gun to my head what would I buy right now it would be the reverb g2.
@@2020fsers I have heard some good things about the Reverb g2 so good to hear you confirm them. I have never heard of the Apara but I will be curious to learn more about it. Thank you for your take. Only a few hours for Sim Update 10! WooHoo.
Thanks for both the videos I’m running almost identical set up as you. I stopped at adjusting the control panel as I don’t really want to mess with game files lol. Only thing I noticed was super pixilated shadows under the aircraft while taxiing. I’ve got my game settings on Ultra. But I’m now not getting any tearing which is what I’m most happy with.
Great to hear thanks for posting. What may help you is to change the one texture filtering option off . The one I talk about that can cause shimmers. You can set that in global settings and not in specific program
@@2020fsers for sure! I’ll give that a shot. All in all, still happy to see the improvement. Got about a 50% uptick in frames and performance. R5 5600x and FTW3 3080ti.
So I searched and I found this video, watched it, liked it then subscribed... a few days later, I opened up my nvidia control panel and followed the instructions in this video, ran msfs20 and made the necessary adjustments as mentioned in this video....only problem is that now I'm hoping I'm not going to destroy my graphics card because as I played msfs, I noticed that I was getting about 114 to 117 fps 🔥🔥🔥🔥😀 so I feel the need to ask this question,...am I safe to run it at this high fps? This is awesomely INSANE!!
Hey thanks for the comment yes it is ok to run that fps you can limit the fps either by using vsync in the sim set it to 60 and make sure the nvidia is set to app controlled. Or set max frame rate in the control panel to the refresh rate of your monitor
Thanks for the tips. As far as the in-game graphics settings go, I've just been using whatever it defaulted to. I noticed you have most things set to ultra. Wonder if I should do that, too? I think a lot of mine are on high now. I have an HP Omen Obelisk, 32 GB RAM and running an RTX2070.
Your welcome ... some of the settings in game are high gpu use and others cpu once you find a good balance using the fps tool it should flicker between gpu and cpu limited .
thank you so much for this helpful video. It was easy to follow. I have a question, now that I have done all this, what about using FSrealistic and Reshade. Will the use of these applications disturb any of these existing settings? thanks
Hey thanks for the comment 😀 Overkill what a guy, right 😃. So I don't have a gsync monitor but I was told to keep vsync off when you have a gsycn monitor but I cannot confirm or deny let me know what works best for you.😉
For me I have v sync off If I understand g sync right the monitor and graphics card have dedicated hardware that talk to one another to stop screen tear
2 of the best videos i have seen for MSFS2020, and have subscribed :D But one question, in the Nvidia Control Panel i have selected the program settings for Microsoft Flight simulator, and set all the same settings, i set vSync to fast and use 3D application settings, and in MSFS2020 i have turned on vSync 60FPS, but my sim is reporting 155FPS in the menus. My monitor is a Acer Predator Z35 and it has G-Sync, can this be why it is still running above 60FPS?
ok so if you want to use the vsync in the sim you need to set the nvidia control panel to application controlled and then you will be set .. what ever you enter in the control panel will override any setting in msfs thats why you need to set it to app controlled but if you dont have any tearing with the panel set to fast i would leave it if you have tearing then set it to app controlled. Thanks for the comment and the sub really appreciate it.
Thanks for the comment . Everyone should do what makes their system smoothest no one setting will apply to everyone. Thanks for posting your settings . May i ask what you limit your frames to? And do you sim in vr or monitor?
@@2020fsers Hi, I am in VR/G2. I limit to 27 fps. Got them always, everywhere. Absolutely constant. 3090 runs at about 75% average load but can handle all the load spikes without stuttering or lagging. Spikes go up to 90% in SD area but still up to 100 in hd/PG areas. Have experimented for myself a year or so, now I am fine (beside the ongoing ctd/ctr). Most important trick was to use normal power setting instead of max. performance. Sounds strange but thats it what give me smoothness. Now waiting for 4090 to see something about 40 smooth fps. And lets see what DLSS have to give.
@@2020fsers No, thats the funny part. If I use max. performance I got sequences like 38, 32, 27, 36, 24, 16, 21, 37 in the fps counter what feels stuttery and head aching. Locking the fps give me 27, 27, 27, 28, 27, 27, 27, 27 ........ That feels much smoother and comfortable to me.
Went from 15fps stuttering mess on landings to 30 to 40fps with these specs using this: Ryzen 1700x | 1070ti | 32GB ram PS also lowered a few settings here and there to low. So I am rocking a low and medium mix
Thanks so much for this video. Now that System Update 11 is out, are there any updates to the graphic settings that we should know about for even better performance? Thank you.
Hi, awesome vid, mate! Got a question and hope you can help: It's about the Vertical sync setting that has me a bit confused. I'm on a Ryzen 5 5600x @ 4.35 and a GTX 1660 OC (I know, I'm saving for something better lol), 32 GB 3200 DDR4. Which vsync setting would you recommend? Oh, monitor is a 60Hz 4k 43" TV. I have the in-sim resolution set to 1920 x 1080. TIA ;)
try both methods i showed for vsync 1 of them probably wont work well for you and 1 will. you cant mess anything up . also make sure in the monitor settings you have that refresh rate set to 60hz as well .
@@2020fsers Thank's, will do! BTW, just subscribed to your channel. For me being a beginner, you make it so easy to understand all this techno mumbo-jumbo. I'm a total noob in this regard. Thanks again and keep'm coming!
If you're like me and want to keep shadow play. Just hit Alt+Z and turn off recording, go into settings and turn off all of the recording settings in there as well. I gained 15fps by doing this.
There was no cfg file in the path you showed for the steam version on my computer alteast. I had to go local disk c:, users, username, appdata, roaming, microsoft flight simulator. Awesome video btw
Thank you for the info .. im.not using the steam version so this is what I found online .. so thanks for this I'm sure it will help someone that can't find it.
Many thanks Pal, you're a diamond! I was myself really struggling with this. Your comment showed me the right path (pun intended!). The vid perhaps needs to be updated.
If for some reason Microsoft Flight Simulator isn't listed in your 3d settings (2:30) you can click ADD and if you had recently run the program, it should be somewhere near the top of that list.
Many thanks for doing this, I have a decent AMD with 32G Ram, Do I follow the same as described in this Video? I am not very smart at his, but Just a simple yes or no will be very helpful. Thank you so much!!
Yes this should be good for you but please remember that I would keep track of what you do so if you get an undesired result you can revert back. . Thanks for the comment .
My user config file wasn't where you show for the Steam version. I don't know if something changed since you made this video, but I found it at C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10. A little heads up for anyone else not finding it.

@@2020fsers you’re welcome , thanks God I have found you , you are amazing , I have downloaded Open XR Toolkit and I have a better clarity in VR now , I did all the settings exactly like yours , I have an I9 9900X , 3,5Ghz , 64 Ram , 3070 ti , but there is only one small issue , I see 2 thin black lines flickering at the edges of my VR headsets , how can I get rid of them ? If I will manage to get rid of them , everything will be perfect. Thanks to you sir. ! One more time , thank you very much , I appreciate your work , I find it very valuable , keep up the good work , bless your heart. !
Thanks, great video! 10850k 3090 user here. I understand why you match the PC and VR texture resolution, but you didn't actually specify why you use high in VR and not utlra? Is it VRam related or something else? Also, do you enable motion reprojection with the G2? I prefer MR enabled for the smoothness, I hate the ghosting I get in the cockpit otherwise.
Hey thanks for the question. So for the texture I use high yes for vram and also I'm just trying to get a real smooth gameplay. And honestly the headsets probably won't be able to show us the benefits of ultra anyway so I don't bother using ultra in vr unless it's the off screen cache and terrain something i forget now it's up there next to the screen cache . Hope this helps answer your questions . 🙂
The difference between Ultra and High textures is not noticable at all. Don't see a reason to set it on Ultra. Also difference between 4x4 and 6x6 supersampling is barely noticable. And 8x8 is surely overkill. You can set it 4x4 for the high quality. Or 2x2 for better performance. Turning it off degrades quality of runway strips textures significantly. It should be very noticable in VR. Light shafts can cause performance slowdowns while in the clouds. I sugget to set Light shafts: Low. On the other side, contact shadows doesn't affect performance much. I think you can ramp up it to High without performance loss. Image quality differs.
I see a big difference between ultra and high texture resolution as far as how sharp and detailed the image is. There's also a big difference in how much v Ram it uses on your g. P. U But you have to do what works best on your system. Everybody has different software and hardware on your PC and that causes different performance issues.
@@2020fsers I wonder difference on which parts? Airport asphalt, runway itself, ground from above, or something elsewhere? Maybe I don't have enough VRAM to have an effect (8GB VRAM btw).
Really usefull video!!! But, what about "Game Mode" & "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling" options from Windows? Should be leave ON or OFF according our actuals RTX 2000/3000 and I7 or I9 CPUs? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
Hello and thanks for the comment and the great questions 😀 please head down to the description and click on the video that I have for best windows settings and that should answer all of those questions. Also and the end of this graphics video thee should be a link pop up for that video as well .
Thanks for the video, i read that almost all curved monitor must use V sync, whats your opinion about? i used to have it on because of that, im following your advices descripted in the video
Thanks for the comment .... so vsync for msfs in my opinion is based on processor I'll explain . When I had a rtx3060ti and an i7 I ran the vsync on fast in the the nvidia panel and that got me best performance with no tearing when I upgraded to a i9 that didn't work so well anymore I had lots of tearing in the screen all on a 32" curved monitor. So I had to turn on vsync In msfs and set it to 60fps even tho I can't get 60fps it removed all tearing and I had to put the nvidia panel on app controlled for vsync .. I also have other i9 users say the same .
@@2020fsers well im with an i5 11400f and rtx 3060, ill try it in FAST im the nvidia config window, and Vsync OFF in the simulator and see, thanks for all your help
@@2020fsers WIERD thing, i installed the nvidia drivers update as you said, and setted up the nvidia panel config as you did, im having the same or just a bit less fps. maybe its the update, i was having 43 fps over crowded citys now i have 38 in the same aircraft and city.
Always remember the nvidia driver updates don t always give the performance we expect just as they have been in the past 1 driver works better than the other .
Thanks again as I can add an additional 10 fps to my VR! The one thing I would like to have a sharper image outside of the cockpit - even with the sweetspot of the Reverb G2 that should be possible right?
Not sure exactly but try both ways and see what works best for you and I could be that neither will work for you .it's something you need to play with and test let me know what you find out in your testing.
go in the msfs general settings and check the dev tool then at the top you should have some meus pop up go to option i think and go down to fps counter and check that on. Thanks for the comment
@@2020fsers No worries. I might have to revert though. Noticed when loading that it's introduced alot a system instability and have been having more ctd's. Not sure if thats SU9 though!
Prob su9 lots of issues there . The only way to know is to go back to the full driver but I don't think it can be the debloating of the driver all we are doing is removing the things we don't need so it can't be that but that doesn't mean that the driver itself isnt the issue. Just like we always test new drivers in the past they suck and we have to revert back to the previous version, same can still apply here.
@@2020fsers Good point. It might be the 512.59 driver i'll try reverting to an earlier driver and see if that getsme more reliability. I also have found that the ammount of CTDs i have vary between sim updates. SU8 was relativly stable for me. Due to life being busy the only time i've ran SU9 was after i've done the improvements. . Hopefully we see some good stuff coming in SU10. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the good tip video, I myself have a good CPU just limited to my 1660TI that means rather being on all high I have mixed settings on Medium then high. I also let the control pannel deal with the FPS rather then the sim settings. I always have it set to 36FPS but no idea if maybe 60FPS is a good idea? then again when I stream is a different bomb game Xd When it comes to streaming I have the settings lower again. But at the same time to able to have the sim so good looking. Wish I had an 3000 series. at 60 FPS seems ok and workable but it's far better at 36 FPS

I was sent here by OverKill Simulations and I just followed your 3 videos about NVIDIA and MSFS2020 graphics settings and I cannot believe how much of a improvement this has made. I got a 20 to 30 FPS increase!!! This is amazing.
Hey there Jonathan im.so happy you tried this and even more happy that you experienced a great gain in performance . 😀 thanks for posting this happy flying
Overkill is who pointed me here as well! I just went thru it all a 2nd time because I missed a couple steps in ticking certain checkbooks my 1st time thru so went thru it again this time watching the entire thing on my phone as I went. Crossing fingers I'll have as great of results as you did! Happy flying!!
Thanks for the comment hope it goes smoothly 👍
I have several of your videos bookmarked so I can go back to them when an update changes them. They are super helpful. Thanks!
Hey Charles thanks so much for the donation ❤️ im very happy they help you . 😊 if you need anything please let me know . Updates are a beaver lol what you also may want to do is take screenshots of your settings with the snip tool and put them in a file or USB drive this way you will have a picture diary of everything in case of a issue or update. Thanks again buddy 👍
I’ve been chasing a problem with low fps around airports for over a year and after watching your video it completely fixed it!
So much more enjoyable, thanks so much!
Great I'm glad it helped you thanks for the comment
All I can say is wow: I do have an old pc. i5 6600k with a GTX 980ti. After your tips and tricks from all your videos I get stable and very smooth on ultra other that the level of terrain details at 140 I'm getting a complex airports with the PMDG 737 40fps very stable and no stuttering. All I can say is WOW!!!!
Great to hear thanks for the comment 😀
The results are AWESOME! I had my sim limited at 30FPS using vertical sync, and I THOUGHT it was running nice. I had learned to live with the micro stutters. After doing this, the smoothness of the sim is INCREDIBLE. I really cannot thank you enough, my GTX 1080 is performing amazingly! Subscriber for life!
Thanks so much 🙏 I'm really happy this helped you . 😀 thanks for the sub.
Are your stutters back? Mine are?
AHHH THIS HELPED MY PERFORMANCE SO MUCH!!! I was barely getting 40 fps on ULTRA with an i7 12700k and 3080ti and now I’m getting 55-60!
I'm glad it worked for you thanks for the comment 😀
Little tip Bud... start your timestamps with 00:00
If you do so, you'll also get the chapters broken down in the time bar :)
Great content!
Oh really awsome I did not know that so I would make the 1st time stamp 00:00 and then the following times 😀 thanks overkill love your channel. Thanks for the comment 😀
@@2020fsers You bet!!
@@OverkillSimulations took your advise presto chapters now thanks again. 😊
I wondered how they did that. I only have a handful of short tutorials on sailwinds, so not useful yet. But will remember.
I've been doing this for almost a year an just found out lol. Learn something new every day
Excellent. I'm running GTX1080 with R7 1700x and I got easily a 50% improvement. I even notched up terrain level of detail to 300%
1080p -From avg 25fps to 40fps over Orbx UK North + terrain on ULTRA - low shadows. You got yerself a new sub.
Hey thanks so much for the comment and sub . 😊 I'm happy this helped you . Keep a look out I am in editing of my next performance settings video and this will help a lot hope you enjoy it.
i had really bad 30 fps with a lot of stuttering and now its so amazingly smooth at 35+.. i cant believe what your hints have done. Big thumbs up!!!!! Thank You!
Your welcome I will be updating this for su10
Thank you for your last 2 videos! As VR is much more demanding for any system, your tipps with installing the invidia driver without these performance eating additionals and also the adjustments after the latest simupdate, nvidia graphics settings, config settings and VR graphic settings in the sim itself made such an extrem difference. Right now it is so smooth and clear with almost no stutters or lags and, in my system, even with the h125 and 89% resolution of the reverb g2 with the latest open xr toolkit. Thanks again and please keep on making such good videos with your excellent way of step by step explanations.
Hey thanks for the comment im so happy this worked for you.
Overkill is right! Great content as always. Each of your videos are so well thought out, explained so the average ( Less Tech savvy ) user can follow along step by step. Between your two videos I went from 11 FPS in the FBW A320 at KJKF to 22 FPS. I know 22 is not great but it is flyable until I can upgrade my RTX2080Ti . Now my Graphics settings are the same as yours with but a few exceptions. Most places outside of KJFK I was getting a steady flyable 20 FPS - Now its's like a solid 40 FPS. Thanks Dude! You Rock,!
Thank you Mr Scott 🙏 happy this made your sim a little bit better of an experience 😀. Thanks for posting this . 👍
I would be updating your CPU, before you dismiss that 2080ti. My second pc is an ITX z690 12900k 32BG 5200 DDR5 with a 2080t!i Almost never below 30 fps in any scenario, in 4K ultra settings, and 50-60 fps all day long in the sky. If you were at 11 fps, you are limited by your current CPU is my best guess. I had that card in a Z490 platform with a 9900K and I still never dropped below 23 fps at ultra 4k. Don't upgrade your card- you will see no difference until you upgrade your CPU / mobo.
@@vyper883 My Current GPU is an EVGA KINGPIN Hybrid with the LN2 BIOS upgrade so I have no plans to get rid of it. I do want a RTX4000 GPU when they're released so I will skip the RTX3000 series unless I see a Huge Delta in pricing between the two series. If I go the CPU route I will build a new package ( even if I use the KP GPU in it until the 4000 comes out) and then use the 9900 system as a second PC for my rig. (3 55" 4K 60hz Displays suck up a lot of HP. Thoughts on on MB and Ram are welcomed. Thanks
This is, without a doubt, THE best setup video for MSFS. I loved the fact you explained why you were doing things.
I have a very high-end PC and the Varjo Aero for VR. After following your guide, MSFS had never been better!
Thank you 🙏. Needless to say, I have subscribed!
thanks so very much i really appreciate it! treat that aero well!
@@2020fsers I also went through your driver install video. Once again…. Fantastic! I have very high settings and use the foveated rendering in OpenXR Toolkit. I now get super smooth performance with only the odd micro-stutter. I think that the last few stutters are down to Asobo rather than my system now.
Thanks again. I am so glad I came across your channel!!!!
You are very welcome I'm glad you found me also happy flying
Was recommended to this video by Dave at Hype Performance - really glad he did. Super clear instructions, really easy to follow. Got another 20 frames by losing at three NVidia processes from Task Manager.Subscribed and rang the bell. Gotta keep chasing them frames!!
Oh, I also turned VSync off, and I get a consistent 40 fps on my main monitor with three Helionix screens popped out into individual windows on my second monitor - no more 50% frame rate hit with each additional pop out window.
oh snap i didnt even try the pop out frames that will hel;p so many users thanks now i will have to test that . thanks for the comment glad it worked for you
Great video! Really smoother out my sim, less stutters, more fluidity, and the color is better (less saturated). Pixelation in clouds seems gone as well. Great stuff thanks!
Hey thanks for the comment glad this helped you 😀
Couple of great videos, thanks so much. Smooth as silk now with increased fps. Couldn't believe there was 11 different folders for Nvidia sitting in the Task Manager...... now only 2. Thanks again!
Hey thank you for the comment so happy this worked for you . Happy flying .
Problem solved. I have received my new RTX 3070Ti today and wow oh wow. I am now hitting steady 50s to 60s fps on 2k res ultra settings all in sim combined with i7 10700k cpu and 32gb ram. So bye bye RTX 2060, it was right time to upgrade and honestly i am super happy. My new card is such a big improvement. Thanks again for your video and previous support. Happy flyer now
Fantastic bud happy flying !
This is a GREAT video! ONE thing I wanted to mention that I just found out is to REMOVE MODS from COMMUNITY folder! I had the P38 and Working Title CJ4 mod, removed them, now after your settings I’m getting 70 fps with 2060 super.
Thanks for the tip . And thank you for the comment 😀
Perhaps one of the greatest videos on RUclips and so well explained. I don't agree with your outline on triple buffering though. With the option disabled (and Vsync enabled), the game must wait until the next vertical retrace before it can start rendering the next frame. Vertical retraces occur at the vertical refresh rate, typically in the 60-100 Hz range. Turning off Vsync eliminates this delay and provides the highest frame rate but can cause tearing. With triple buffering enabled, the game renders a frame in one back buffer. While it is waiting to flip, it can start rendering in the other back buffer. The result is that the frame rate is typically higher than double buffering with vsync enabled without any tearing. What this means in practice is that if you get screen tearing, turning on Triple Buffering might actually eliminate the tearing without having to turn on vsync thus bumping frame rate in the process. If you still get tearing with triple buffering, then you might have to go the vsync method by disabling Triple Buffering and just enabling Vsync. What you don't want to do is enable Triple Buffering and Vsync at the same time as it will hamper the frame rate as each frame draw call is going to occur at the vertical retrace. Hope this helps :)
Wow thanks for this info really appreciate it and well explained. Thanks you
aight, gonna try the triple buffer on with vsync off now and see what happens, will update
update: hella screen tearing, don't use triple buffering at all
Lol thanks
ABSOLUTE GENIUS!! Got 15+ fps with Fenix A320 which was perfect! Couldn't follow all steps but wow massive difference.
Great glad it helped you . Thanks for the comment
MATE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! MY sim is so much smooth now, saw a massive difference. Thanks for sharing your tips and Nvidia control panel settings love the content
Great thanks for the comment 😀
Ha! I'm so glad you mentioned that you will always be limited by something, and not worry about it if the frames and stability is good. Too many will say something is wrong because they are either CPU or GPU bound. Yay you!
hey thanks for the comment . i have gotten emails already from people getting 50 fps sayin im limited how can i make it go away and you can't. lol just be the best you can be thanks again
WOW!! This gave me 10 fps more in VR (3080 12700K, G2) and better visuals. Thanks a million! You are awesome!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Very welcome thanks for the comment 😀
Since last OpenXr, toolkit and sim update my vr was unflyable. Thanks to your settings everything looks smooth again. I don't know why but once again your settings made my day. I just need to better set up my controls and go flying.
Thank you!!🙂🙂🙂

Nice overview w/o requiring viewers to be CPU/GPU wonks.
There is a lot of nuance to all of these settings - yet you kept it very understandable and PRACTICAL. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it 🙏
I done this and then found your Nvidia bloat tutorial. Made everything so much smoother. Only a small critique but can you add in the description above to do the Nvidia Bloat tutorial first so they don't have to change the Nvidia settings twice.
Thanks for the comment and great suggestion
Went from 10 Fps to 40-50 on a 2060 super! Thank you very much for helping!

Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it. I actually Just finished filming an updated video to my SIM. Update 11 video I did that should be coming out the end of this week.
YOU ANSWERED EVERY COMMENT U ARE AMAZING
I certainly try my best but we are all human so I may miss 1 or 2... thank you for your comment 🙏 😊
8:43 Not that I suffer from screen tearing, but I'll ask all the same. I have a G-Sync monitor, I take it if you have such a monitor you would have V-Sync off in both applications, and let the monitor control the everything? Just make sure G-Sync is on in the nVidia control panel. great video bro. A font of knowledge.
Yes you are correct for gsync make sure all the vsync stuff is off. Thanks for the comment 😀
omg man!!! I had problems with airports. my 3080 had problems and this did fix shuttering and everything! nice! thanks!

Your videos are the best !! Always wondered what all those settings mean and do, now I know. Thank you so much for your time and effort !!!
Very welcome thank you for the comment 😀
You spent a lot of time on your last two videos. Thanks for your time and input. I was limited in what I could do as I have an old 1060 chipset.
If you try the second video you can most likely pick up a significant increase by debloating your nvidia driver especially on that card. But yes 😆 I did spend all day over 12 hours shooting and editing so that I can get them uploaded together. Thanks for the comment . 😀 and thanks for noticing the time involved in these vids.
Thank you so much for the tutorial on Nvidia settings now I have great colors and graphics on may MSFS once again THANK YOU

@@reggiefowler2700 Reggie, In steam I go to c drive, username, appdata (normally this is a hidden file, if you don't see it look for the option to display hidden files in your file explorer and check that) then scroll down to msfs flight simulator you'll see any flight plans but look for your usercfg.opt file, I recommend making a copy of that file to store/save in a safe place before editing the file but it's easy peasy. Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestions and for making this video. I would be careful forcing ray-tracing "on" on older GPU's (Gtx1060) these oldies are having a hard time keeping up with modern techniques. Have a great weekend ;-)
Thanks for the comment . As of right now I don't think raytracing is implemented in msfs but in previous updates it helped with graphics it may not do much now for graphics I just suggest to try it and see . Someone using laptop just told me he had a 4 fps hit on that setting so it's hit or miss but worth a try can always switch back. Thanks again happy flying
I often see people recommending turning supersampling down or off... However, I notice textures in the distance become blurry when this setting is turned off--for example centerlines on a runway. The higher the number you set here, the further in the distance the texture will remain sharp. If you're taxing around in a go-cart you might not notice, but get a few feet above the ground or use an elevated exterior view and you'll notice there's a difference. In any case always appreciate your tips in general and the effort you put into producing these videos--much more post production work than most other flight sim channels out there.
Thanks for the reminder, I followed the video but I lost my depth pf field like you, approach became a nightmare Everything was blurred, I could not make out the runway until about one mile from touchdown, don't panic I said. The taxiway lines etc where practical non existent. Yes it was because I turned off Texture Super Sampling, all back to normal now.
Texture super sampling may give different results of other system you have you do what's best for you as I can only see what my pc can display.
Thanks for the comments really appreciate it.
Great information, thank you. My initial feedback: I followed everything as indicated. When I launched FS2020, with my previous settings, I had dropped about 5fps. Using Terrain LOD=10 (previously 200), Shadow Maps=1536, Contact Shadows=512, and Cubemap reflections=192, I gained 10 fps (everything else as suggested). I have yet to fly these settings but they looked good sitting at the gate. Thanks again for all the effort!!!
hey thanks for the comment if you did happen to turn on raytracing switch that off and see if you get an increase in fps some uses have stated it gave them a hit and others not.
@@2020fsers You are correct. I didn't have success with raytracing in the past. So, raytracing=OFF, Terrain LOD=100, and the other settings I mentioned now as you suggested. FPS pushing 40 sitting at the gate (FBW A20N). I think this will work. Awesome, thank you!
Your welcome
As a follow up, flew KJFK to KCLT, FBW A20N, live traffic and weather with great results. FPS never went below 30 (45 fps in CRZ). All settings as suggested except raytracing OFF. - ASrock B450M Pro, Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB, GTX1660, 1920x1080.

Frames hanging around 30-35. Am always ready to try different stuff like what you are showing here. Keep the blue side up.

Hey thanks Steve I also like watching overkill great content .
Incredible video thank you
Just a question
I have a RTX 3080 (not Ti) and in the video you reccomend to set Vsync Off in the symulator
But in the video of the UserCfg there is Vsync to 1
It is reccomended to set it on or off?
Another thing you reccomend HDR to off becouse the monitor is no HDR or it is better to set it off?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the comment so vsync I only set in the sim itself don't worry about the cfg file and I know these are settings for the sim . The quick answer to this is it all depends on your system and what is best for you I describe the 2 ways for either using it or not depending on your outcome with screen tearing . Try both methods and see what works for you. And for hdr I always leave that off .
Best settings video ever, thank you 😊
Your welcome thanks for the comment
You got the Background Application Max Frame Rate setting wrong. It doesn’t effect the framerate of background tasks, it effects the framerate of the simulator when *it* is the background task - for example if you bring a browser window to the front. The whole point of having individual profiles in the control panel is that the settings in that profile only effect one particular program and not other programs that are running at the same time
Thanks for your comment I am aware of that now with the background fps after I made the video thank you tho for the info. I understand the point behind individual profiles that's pretty self explanatory.
Thank you for your videos! Really loved the performance gains. I'm wondering is there a new/different set up for Sim 10 Update?
Not really but there are some added things that I will go over in the updated video I will be making . Thanks for the comment .
wow this is amazing ! i did the entire process and i dont get stutters anymore and my frames are way higher than before im running a 11700K RTX 3070 and 32 gigs of ram and now i can say i get very close to 60 frames while im in big cities and in the air i get around 80 or 90 frames , i did install the game in a different drive so the config procces was not possible, i couldnt find the file . but amazing tutorial

@@CesarSanchezQuiros thank you so much I found it!!
Thanks Cesar for posting this info .
Background max fps is for when the game is not in focus. Say if you minimize it or alt tab to a different window. It has nothing to do with any other apps.
Oh ok got ya thanks for clarifying that .
Same settings for DCS? And i7-7700K w/strix 3070TI and SSD and M2 - 2K monitor, thoughts on vertical sync in nvidia and msfs? DCS? Awesome video man thank you!!
Thanks for the comment .... not sure about dcs I have never tried it. . Vsync works for some people and not for others that is something that needs to be tested on an Individual basis.
Will you be updating this video to reflect any changes needed for the upcoming Sim Update 10? By the way, this tutorial is great for me with limited technical knowledge and a low to mid-level PC.. I love your step-by-step thoroughness and the fact that you do not ignore those of us with lower end PCs.. Just out of curiosity, are you willing to let us know which CPU and GPU you are using? I would hope to be able to emulate it, someday, especially with graphics card prices coming down.
Hey thanks for the comment yes I will be updating this for su10. My pc specs is a i9 10850 I think and a 3080ti 32 gb ram.
@@2020fsers Thank you so much for your quick reply. Also, very pleased to hear you will be updating the tweaks as needed for Sim Update 10. I was almost reluctant to go ahead and make changes but I thought you had done so and might realize a need for an update to this video. One more, out of curiosity, question, which VR headsets do you like? It seems to me that we are very close to having them go mainstream providing greater competition and thus fabulous performance and lower prices. I know I will be needing to update my PC prior to going VR but that is still my ultimate objective.
Thanks 😊 in my opinion I would wait to buy a vr set as there is a lot of new tech comming and everything out there now is old tech still nice but the prices of the new stuff may be the same not sure yet . I have a pimax 8kx and a reverb g2 and a valve index my. Of the 3 the reverb is a great buy but again it's old tech .. I am awaiting the apara 5k I'm hoping that will be a leap forward. We will see . But gun to my head what would I buy right now it would be the reverb g2.
@@2020fsers I have heard some good things about the Reverb g2 so good to hear you confirm them. I have never heard of the Apara but I will be curious to learn more about it. Thank you for your take. Only a few hours for Sim Update 10! WooHoo.
Thanks for both the videos I’m running almost identical set up as you. I stopped at adjusting the control panel as I don’t really want to mess with game files lol. Only thing I noticed was super pixilated shadows under the aircraft while taxiing. I’ve got my game settings on Ultra. But I’m now not getting any tearing which is what I’m most happy with.
Great to hear thanks for posting. What may help you is to change the one texture filtering option off . The one I talk about that can cause shimmers. You can set that in global settings and not in specific program
@@2020fsers for sure! I’ll give that a shot. All in all, still happy to see the improvement. Got about a 50% uptick in frames and performance. R5 5600x and FTW3 3080ti.
Hey that's awesome 👌
So I searched and I found this video, watched it, liked it then subscribed... a few days later, I opened up my nvidia control panel and followed the instructions in this video, ran msfs20 and made the necessary adjustments as mentioned in this video....only problem is that now I'm hoping I'm not going to destroy my graphics card because as I played msfs, I noticed that I was getting about 114 to 117 fps 🔥🔥🔥🔥😀 so I feel the need to ask this question,...am I safe to run it at this high fps? This is awesomely INSANE!!
Hey thanks for the comment yes it is ok to run that fps you can limit the fps either by using vsync in the sim set it to 60 and make sure the nvidia is set to app controlled. Or set max frame rate in the control panel to the refresh rate of your monitor
Thanks for the sub and like 👍
Need an SU10 update. Love your settings vids.
Hey thanks for the comment yes im.working on a new updated settings video
Amazing talk through thank you
Your welcome thanks for the comment for the updated video see ruclips.net/video/bnvzpbMnKng/видео.html
4:45, it won't boost fps, it will decrease a little bit fps to minimize gpu latency, that make game more smooth, i agree that for pc it is worth
Thanks for the comment 😀 I saw a slight fps increase 2 or 3 but it's system dependant .

Thanks for the tips. As far as the in-game graphics settings go, I've just been using whatever it defaulted to. I noticed you have most things set to ultra. Wonder if I should do that, too? I think a lot of mine are on high now. I have an HP Omen Obelisk, 32 GB RAM and running an RTX2070.
Your welcome ... some of the settings in game are high gpu use and others cpu once you find a good balance using the fps tool it should flicker between gpu and cpu limited .
What setting(s) would you recommend for sorting out some vertical banding in clouds? 5900x/3080ti? Great content as usual. Thanks.
Try and turn off any texture filter option in the nvidia panel and make sure to change the cfg file also remove film grain . Thanks for the comment
thank you so much for this helpful video. It was easy to follow. I have a question, now that I have done all this, what about using FSrealistic and Reshade. Will the use of these applications disturb any of these existing settings? thanks

I was also sent here by overkill
1 quick question vertical sync what would you have it set to if your using a g-sync monitor
Great video by the way
Hey thanks for the comment 😀 Overkill what a guy, right 😃. So I don't have a gsync monitor but I was told to keep vsync off when you have a gsycn monitor but I cannot confirm or deny let me know what works best for you.😉
For me I have v sync off
If I understand g sync right the monitor and graphics card have dedicated hardware that talk to one another to stop screen tear
Another great video - would tis work for an i12900K and RTX3080ti ??
Yes it should but test things as you go so just in case.
2 of the best videos i have seen for MSFS2020, and have subscribed :D But one question, in the Nvidia Control Panel i have selected the program settings for Microsoft Flight simulator, and set all the same settings, i set vSync to fast and use 3D application settings, and in MSFS2020 i have turned on vSync 60FPS, but my sim is reporting 155FPS in the menus. My monitor is a Acer Predator Z35 and it has G-Sync, can this be why it is still running above 60FPS?
ok so if you want to use the vsync in the sim you need to set the nvidia control panel to application controlled and then you will be set .. what ever you enter in the control panel will override any setting in msfs thats why you need to set it to app controlled but if you dont have any tearing with the panel set to fast i would leave it if you have tearing then set it to app controlled. Thanks for the comment and the sub really appreciate it.
Using "maximum performance!" can cause ctd. Using normal AND limit fps limit gives the smoothest and most constant experience by far. 11900k/3090
Thanks for the comment . Everyone should do what makes their system smoothest no one setting will apply to everyone. Thanks for posting your settings . May i ask what you limit your frames to? And do you sim in vr or monitor?
@@2020fsers Hi,
I am in VR/G2. I limit to 27 fps. Got them always, everywhere. Absolutely constant. 3090 runs at about 75% average load but can handle all the load spikes without stuttering or lagging. Spikes go up to 90% in SD area but still up to 100 in hd/PG areas. Have experimented for myself a year or so, now I am fine (beside the ongoing ctd/ctr). Most important trick was to use normal power setting instead of max. performance. Sounds strange but thats it what give me smoothness. Now waiting for 4090 to see something about 40 smooth fps. And lets see what DLSS have to give.
Thanks for the reply. You don't find the 27fps is to low. When turning your head doesn't it jump frame to frame?
@@2020fsers No, thats the funny part. If I use max. performance I got sequences like 38, 32, 27, 36, 24, 16, 21, 37 in the fps counter what feels stuttery and head aching. Locking the fps give me 27, 27, 27, 28, 27, 27, 27, 27 ........ That feels much smoother and comfortable to me.
Hmm ok ima have to test it on my pc
Went from 15fps stuttering mess on landings to 30 to 40fps with these specs using this: Ryzen 1700x | 1070ti | 32GB ram PS also lowered a few settings here and there to low. So I am rocking a low and medium mix
Hey thanks for the comment glad it worked for you .
very great video and lots of good hints.. thanks a lot
You are welcome thanks for the comment 😀
Thanks so much for this video.
Now that System Update 11 is out, are there any updates to the graphic settings that we should know about for even better performance?
Thank you.
Im.going to put together a video for su11 im.still testing
Thanks for the comment !
@@2020fsers Thank you! Looking forward to what you have discovered.
I have the new video in editing now
Thank you!!!! Can’t wait to see it.
Blessings to you great sir! you have me up in my cfg file like a pro.
If you have an fps drop with raytracing turn it off. Thanks for the comment 😀
Amazing points of interest. Thanks
Very welcome thanks for the comment 😀
Hi, awesome vid, mate!
Got a question and hope you can help: It's about the Vertical sync setting that has me a bit confused. I'm on a Ryzen 5 5600x @ 4.35 and a GTX 1660 OC (I know, I'm saving for something better lol), 32 GB 3200 DDR4. Which vsync setting would you recommend? Oh, monitor is a 60Hz 4k 43" TV. I have the in-sim resolution set to 1920 x 1080.
TIA ;)
try both methods i showed for vsync 1 of them probably wont work well for you and 1 will. you cant mess anything up . also make sure in the monitor settings you have that refresh rate set to 60hz as well .
@@2020fsers Thank's, will do! BTW, just subscribed to your channel. For me being a beginner, you make it so easy to understand all this techno mumbo-jumbo. I'm a total noob in this regard. Thanks again and keep'm coming!
Thanks so much for the sub . I try my best to make things as easy to understand as possible .
Fantastic video - AMD user here - any chance you can do a similar video on the AMD RX 5700XT or similar cards?
Unfortunately I don't have any amd stuff so you definitely don't want my advise lol thanks for the comment
If you're like me and want to keep shadow play. Just hit Alt+Z and turn off recording, go into settings and turn off all of the recording settings in there as well. I gained 15fps by doing this.
Great tip
There was no cfg file in the path you showed for the steam version on my computer alteast. I had to go local disk c:, users, username, appdata, roaming, microsoft flight simulator. Awesome video btw
Thank you for the info .. im.not using the steam version so this is what I found online .. so thanks for this I'm sure it will help someone that can't find it.
Many thanks Pal, you're a diamond! I was myself really struggling with this. Your comment showed me the right path (pun intended!).
The vid perhaps needs to be updated.
If for some reason Microsoft Flight Simulator isn't listed in your 3d settings (2:30) you can click ADD and if you had recently run the program, it should be somewhere near the top of that list.
Thabks for the comment
Another BOOMSHELL BROTHER!
Thanks so much 🙏
Many thanks for doing this, I have a decent AMD with 32G Ram, Do I follow the same as described in this Video?
I am not very smart at his, but Just a simple yes or no will be very helpful. Thank you so much!!
Yes this should be good for you but please remember that I would keep track of what you do so if you get an undesired result you can revert back. . Thanks for the comment .
My user config file wasn't where you show for the Steam version. I don't know if something changed since you made this video, but I found it at C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10. A little heads up for anyone else not finding it.
Hey thanks for the info 👍
3080 ti? Do YOU need to optimize the game ? lol. Thanks thought. Great vid
Lol yes I do especially for vr . Thanks for the comment glad you enjoyed it .

Thanks for the comment
@@2020fsers you’re welcome , thanks God I have found you , you are amazing , I have downloaded Open XR Toolkit and I have a better clarity in VR now , I did all the settings exactly like yours , I have an I9 9900X , 3,5Ghz , 64 Ram , 3070 ti , but there is only one small issue , I see 2 thin black lines flickering at the edges of my VR headsets , how can I get rid of them ? If I will manage to get rid of them , everything will be perfect. Thanks to you sir. ! One more time , thank you very much , I appreciate your work , I find it very valuable , keep up the good work , bless your heart. !
Hello thank you very much for the kind words . What may help you is bump up your middle ring resolution to 1/2 . Not sure what you have it set at
@@2020fsers aaaa , ok , I think I set it up the same like in your tutorial ! Thank you. !
Thanks, great video!
10850k 3090 user here. I understand why you match the PC and VR texture resolution, but you didn't actually specify why you use high in VR and not utlra? Is it VRam related or something else?
Also, do you enable motion reprojection with the G2? I prefer MR enabled for the smoothness, I hate the ghosting I get in the cockpit otherwise.
Hey thanks for the question. So for the texture I use high yes for vram and also I'm just trying to get a real smooth gameplay. And honestly the headsets probably won't be able to show us the benefits of ultra anyway so I don't bother using ultra in vr unless it's the off screen cache and terrain something i forget now it's up there next to the screen cache . Hope this helps answer your questions . 🙂
The difference between Ultra and High textures is not noticable at all. Don't see a reason to set it on Ultra.
Also difference between 4x4 and 6x6 supersampling is barely noticable. And 8x8 is surely overkill. You can set it 4x4 for the high quality. Or 2x2 for better performance. Turning it off degrades quality of runway strips textures significantly. It should be very noticable in VR.
Light shafts can cause performance slowdowns while in the clouds. I sugget to set Light shafts: Low.
On the other side, contact shadows doesn't affect performance much. I think you can ramp up it to High without performance loss. Image quality differs.
I see a big difference between ultra and high texture resolution as far as how sharp and detailed the image is. There's also a big difference in how much v Ram it uses on your g. P. U But you have to do what works best on your system. Everybody has different software and hardware on your PC and that causes different performance issues.
@@2020fsers I wonder difference on which parts? Airport asphalt, runway itself, ground from above, or something elsewhere?
Maybe I don't have enough VRAM to have an effect (8GB VRAM btw).
Outstanding as always, thank you
hey thanks Mat i appreciate the comment
Note G-Sync and Variable Refresh Rate monitors. You probably don't need V-Sync both in Nvidia Control Panel or in MSFS settings.
Thanks for the info.
Thank You!!
Your welcome
Really usefull video!!! But, what about "Game Mode" & "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling" options from Windows? Should be leave ON or OFF according our actuals RTX 2000/3000 and I7 or I9 CPUs? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
Hello and thanks for the comment and the great questions 😀 please head down to the description and click on the video that I have for best windows settings and that should answer all of those questions. Also and the end of this graphics video thee should be a link pop up for that video as well .
Thanks for the video, i read that almost all curved monitor must use V sync, whats your opinion about? i used to have it on because of that, im following your advices descripted in the video
Thanks for the comment .... so vsync for msfs in my opinion is based on processor I'll explain . When I had a rtx3060ti and an i7 I ran the vsync on fast in the the nvidia panel and that got me best performance with no tearing when I upgraded to a i9 that didn't work so well anymore I had lots of tearing in the screen all on a 32" curved monitor. So I had to turn on vsync In msfs and set it to 60fps even tho I can't get 60fps it removed all tearing and I had to put the nvidia panel on app controlled for vsync .. I also have other i9 users say the same .
@@2020fsers well im with an i5 11400f and rtx 3060, ill try it in FAST im the nvidia config window, and Vsync OFF in the simulator and see, thanks for all your help
Sure let me know what you find
@@2020fsers WIERD thing, i installed the nvidia drivers update as you said, and setted up the nvidia panel config as you did, im having the same or just a bit less fps. maybe its the update, i was having 43 fps over crowded citys now i have 38 in the same aircraft and city.
Always remember the nvidia driver updates don t always give the performance we expect just as they have been in the past 1 driver works better than the other .
Thanks again as I can add an additional 10 fps to my VR! The one thing I would like to have a sharper image outside of the cockpit - even with the sweetspot of the Reverb G2 that should be possible right?
Thanks for the comment . Yes are you using the openxr toolkit I dis a video on that and how to set it up for the reverb.

Hi mate . wonderful tutorial . One doubt what will VERTICAL SYNC setting for RYZEN USER
Not sure exactly but try both ways and see what works best for you and I could be that neither will work for you .it's something you need to play with and test let me know what you find out in your testing.
@@2020fsers Ya thanks bro . As far I saw its 97% smooth now . As lil stutter here and there . But it's huge difference . Loving it
Fantastic thank you 😊
Great video, just a small question, how to get the little performance box on the upper right corner?
RTX 3060,i7 12600kf, 32GB RAM.
go in the msfs general settings and check the dev tool then at the top you should have some meus pop up go to option i think and go down to fps counter and check that on. Thanks for the comment
Ok I did this with the Nvidia performance hack and I was skeptical. but wow at Newark had a solid 45 on the ground and 45-55 over Manhatten. Nice one.
I'm running a Ryzen 5600 and RTX 3070 with 32 GB of ram btw.
Fantastic thanks for the comment and posting your system specs and results . 😀
@@2020fsers No worries. I might have to revert though. Noticed when loading that it's introduced alot a system instability and have been having more ctd's. Not sure if thats SU9 though!
Prob su9 lots of issues there . The only way to know is to go back to the full driver but I don't think it can be the debloating of the driver all we are doing is removing the things we don't need so it can't be that but that doesn't mean that the driver itself isnt the issue. Just like we always test new drivers in the past they suck and we have to revert back to the previous version, same can still apply here.
@@2020fsers Good point. It might be the 512.59 driver i'll try reverting to an earlier driver and see if that getsme more reliability. I also have found that the ammount of CTDs i have vary between sim updates. SU8 was relativly stable for me. Due to life being busy the only time i've ran SU9 was after i've done the improvements. . Hopefully we see some good stuff coming in SU10. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the good tip video, I myself have a good CPU just limited to my 1660TI that means rather being on all high I have mixed settings on Medium then high. I also let the control pannel deal with the FPS rather then the sim settings. I always have it set to 36FPS but no idea if maybe 60FPS is a good idea? then again when I stream is a different bomb game Xd When it comes to streaming I have the settings lower again. But at the same time to able to have the sim so good looking. Wish I had an 3000 series. at 60 FPS seems ok and workable but it's far better at 36 FPS
Thanks for the comment
