This really helped. Same performance, FPS as before with my 2080ti but now completely stutter free! Love your channel and am so happy you're doing this! ❤️
Thank you for these tips Q8Pilot! I just set these settings and loaded up the sim and OMG!! What a huge difference. I was having pretty significant trouble with stutter and just wrote it off as MSFS short falls but now I have almost zero stutters.
you have no idea how much this has helped me. to the point I'd almost stopped using the sim due to 3 simultaneous pauses throughout flying, Especially takeoff and landing to the point where I was about to give up because tips from forums and the like although very much appreciated had no answer for me. This has fixed all my issues and I thank you greatly. If ever you decide to visit Australia I'd love to shout you a beer! Thanks again so much Daz
Tried this on my old PC and it worked great. I'm getting 20-25 FPS stutter free with an I7-4790K processor with a GTX950 GPU. Flew from JFK to Newark Liberty smoothly, very happy I came across your Video. I was about to give up trying to fix the frame stutter. Thanks.
well i could not clean all files inside the 2 folders i get a message " the files could not be deleted because they are open on explorer". I m with w11
I have an ATI card. Yet, some of the tips in this video was very helpful. So, thumbs up for that. Because I don't care what GPU you have, this game has been the most challenging with graphics I've ever experienced! I build my own pc's and thought I was fine. I've NEVER had to buy a GPU that was close to a 1k. This game basically requires a car note payment on a graphics card or something to run it smoothly. Heh And I've been gaming since the Atari days! Still, a video like this can alleviate a lot of issues with just simple setup. And I knew this but just couldn't find the right combo. I've never had to go a file to delete things to get the graphics to perform better. I mean, lot of crazy stuff just to play a sim! Regardless, yours has been the best I've seen (and I've watched a LOT) that gets rid of the jitters! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
my sim is now a lot smoother with those new settings, even at very high taxing airports, I am now excited to go to way more airports without worrying about shuttering. Thank you!
You said you use this with your M1 iPad Pro, I have the 12.9 M1 and want to pair this with that so I can cast the iPad onto a 77 inch TV using game pass Microsoft flight simulator …is that possible?
Those settings are great. Same fps, but my sim runs way smoother now!I also had the glass cockpit refresh rate set to high, which caused a lot of stutters on my system. Setting it to medium improved it a lot.
I tried for years any settings and tutorials that was out there on internet and with no success, I own 3090 and was furious how I can’t fly it smoothly but after this I can confirm this one is the one, thank you very much
If you find that some cache files are not deletable, disable shader cache in the Nvidia control panel, restart, and they will become deletable. Then set the shader cache to unlimited, and restart.
This definitely worked for me! I had to remove SimFX for extra frames but deleting the cache itself gave me at least 15 frames plus reduced stutters at landing. Thanks for the tutorial! Note : I have a Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3070, and a 32GB RAM. Had 25fps with massive stutters in PMDG 737 before but now I have 40fps with little stutters.
Excellent video - thanks. Every time I apply the game filter, it resets when the sim is re started. Does anyone know how to make the game filter settings persist?
Thanks for sharing this Q8 and I'm also seeing the same performance increase on my own RTX3070 rig. After following your guide. I also recently found out MSFS2020 was running beyond my PC 16Gb ram, and now I upgraded to a 32GB ram. Plus, I ws running MSFS2020 on a partiitioned 2TB HDD. Now in Jan 23 , you can now get av1TB NVME and SATA SSD for less that £80, I about a SSD and moved MSFS2020 on to it, to also give me a increase in performance and no more micro-stutters. Again, I suggest installing 32GB DDR memory or more to your rig. As well as moving or reinstalling MSFS 2020 on to a SSD, also helps a lot.
Hi Q8. A remark about the anistropic filter setting - you set it 16x in the NCP, and then mention you could/should turn that setting to OFF in the in-game graphics options. But then when you show some demo performance footage, you also show us your ingame settings, and I couldn't help but notice you still had yours set to 16x. I'm assuming that's a mistake/omission?
I'm not Q8, but the answer is clearly "no." There are several other RUclips videos, and all point out that anisotropic filtering is much more efficient when done by the GPU driver than when performed in the sim. Therefore, in order to take advantage of setting it in the nVidia Control Panel, you must turn it OFF in Flight Simulator. If you leave it on in the sim, especially if set to 16X, you've gained nothing in performance.
Wow! I tried this for X-plane 12 and did it improve my frame rate? No. Did it reduce my stutters? Not half!!!!! What a fantastic improvement. Thank you Q8Pilot for a brilliant bit of advice. Love your channel. Please never stop :-)
As mentioned in the video, these tips will not work for everyone. They have worked for many including myself. If it didn't work for you that's fine, but at least I have made an attempt to better your experience. Thanks for watching.
@Q8Pilot the reduction in stutters is great! "Not half" is an expression in English (possibly just in the UK - so a poor choice of words by myself) to say basically a "huge amount". It would seem that these settings don't alter frame rates themselves in x-plane 12 (at least in my case) but instead makes the fluctuation of them far less of an issue making the experience much better. Thanks again!
i was skeptical because ive never had much luck with improving stutters, but hopeful since it was q8 supplying the knowledge. it really did help quite a bit. i'm running a 3090 and 10850k (my bottleneck) and my stutters have seriously drastically reduced. i can enoy the a310 stutter free finally!
Hi, I watch a lot of your videos and this latest one has really sorted things out for me. I do not use the nvidia filters but everything else has really improved things for me. I never really got bad performance but there was always something niggling in the background as I always fly in VR, in particular when turning the nosewheel the scenery always had that slight lag. These fixes have cured them so I would really like to thank you for posting this latest one up...Thanks Q8 pilot
These tips definitely helped me, thanks Q8Pilot! My system 4k, I9 cpu, 64g ram and RTX 4090..all running on SSD's Smooth as butter on ultra with your settings..cheers again.
wooow this actually worked butter smooth thanks man i appreciate it im running rtx 4080 32 gb ram 4000hz ryzen 95900x samsung odyssey 49 inch 4k ultrawide and it actually made my game so smooth thanks !!!!
Love it. Another video claiming to get rid of stutters with very clear and obvious micro stutters and uneven frame timing all over the place. Its baked into msfs, folks. Sure you can get rid of hideous pauses and bad stuttering and poor fps using expensive hardware and some good settings. But the micro stutters when loading in scenery arent going anywhere. In VR they are VERY noticable, and to a trained eye they are all over this 2d video too.
Q8 Pilot, First and foremost, thank you for helping us with your advice. Results) To answer your most basic question, yes I think the stuttering improved and was almost fluid-though not quite as fluid as yours-to start off at KLAX with the A310. As I landed at Palm Springs Intl., I saw a few more stutters, maybe some artifacts in my medium-grade computer, picked up along the way. However, with issue to other things like lighting, color, etc. the image seemed less sharp & defined, and the color more washed out. While I was trying to follow your instructions as you gave them, I’ll note a few issues I came across, and number them down below: 1) I noticed my FPS at LAX was in the high-20’s, whereas I believe beforehand I was hovering in the high-30’s to low-40’s. 2) DISREGARD... other people asked about files being left over, so I don't need to ask it again. 3) Game Filter Settings (Alt +F3) won’t work. It says “A Supported Game is Required to Use This Feature”. I don’t know. I thought you said that the game had to be turned off before following your steps-which is what I did. I wonder if it wanted me to open the game? Well, either way, I couldn’t do anything you said to do in this section because of this. Again, why do you think it was displaying this message? 4) My NVIDIA “dashboard” (I don’t know what else to call the control panel), only recognizes my MSFS “game”, as “Game of the Year”. It doesn’t say it’s the “40th Anniversary Edition”. Why and is this a problem? It almost seems as though NVIDIA doesn’t recognize the latest version of the game, and I find that to be troublesome. And I say this because I don’t know if it’s actually making the necessary adjustments, if it doesn’t even know if it’s the right game. What are your thoughts on this? 5) My Graphics Settings in the Simulator doesn’t show the line, “NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation”, like yours did in your tutorial. I run an NVIDIA card, why do you think it won’t display this line on my Graphics Menu? 6) A lot of what you set to ULTRA in your GRAPHICS menu, I set to MEDIUM, only because I don’t think my 2019 mid-grade computer, is as good as yours. Even still though, some of my results were a little on the lack-luster side for me. In conclusion, I appreciate the hard work you did to help the community. I’m just possibly in that small percentage of people, who your suggestions didn’t quite help the way I was hoping they would. But it did help the stuttering for a little bit-at least leaving KLAX. However, as I said earlier, on the Palm Springs arrival, they seemed to increase, and the FPS was actually lower upon completion of your steps. Maybe I’ll reset the GRAPHICS values back to the way I had them and that may help. Thank you again. 😇
@@OCX600RR GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB) CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 @3.2GHz 6-core Hope this helps explain some things. This was probably medium grade by 2019 standards, and now I'm guessing quite a bit of things surpass it.
The ALT F3 key was great my monitor was impossible to set the brightness even when i went into the Nivida settings. For some reason this worked very well.
@Q8Pilot right so wouldn't it be beneficial to turn off the cache so you don't build up or create more corrupt cache files? I'm not arguing I'm just logically thinking about this sorry if I come across poorly.
I tried this out tonight with my RTX2060 Super and used all your settings. I was amazed. All my settings are now on Ultra and the only setting I had to change was Texture Level of Detail from 400 to 300. Frame rate is 30 fps but no stutters. I have just completed an approach and landing in the Citation CJ4 with no slow down or memory issues and using Direct X 12.
May I ask why you are using 300 with a 2060super. Even my 4070 can't handle 300. 200 creates stutter in some places. Worse case scenario you'll max out your vram.
Great video thank you Q8Pilot :) Recent changes to the NVidia installs have changed the location of the shader cache files which your channel viewers might like to know about.
@Q8Pilot One other thing, when you set Anisotropic Filtering to 16X in NCP, you said to turn it off in game. However in game, your Anisotropic Filtering was set to 16X. How should it be set?
Hi Q8 Piltot!! One of the best piece of advice ever! It really changed how my sim performs…. Just a question regarding cache … both Nvidia shade cache and MSFS Rolling cache… which is your recommendation for deleting them? Every once in a while?? After every sim session? Thank you so much!!!
Glad this was helpful. I recommend deleting them every time you experience stuttering. Also good idea to perform this after either an Nvidia driver update or sim update. Happy flying!
@Q8Pilot MSFS crashes to desktop everytime with the filters enabled. As soon as I turn off the filters from Alt+F3 the sim runs fine. 4090, latest drivers, Windows 10. SU12 RTM.
I have a few things to say 1. Do not use dx12 if you need fps. its experimental and can really impact your fps 2. I wish the title of this video specified for Nvidia drivers only considering i have AMD drivers.
Run msfs first. Then launch FPSMonitor. Select the metrics you want from the menu. Then minimize FPSMonitor. The metrics will be displayed on the screen.
@@Q8Pilot True, in your case it might not matter but for other people watching this video and mimic what they see visually will have it on in both locations. I noticed it visually and remembered what you said. Maybe edit the video to show that you have it off in the sim.
What is the issue in having it on on both? I do not think it will double the processing. In my case it gives no difference where you turn it on. So not sure why it is seen as a hint.
Hi Q8Pilot. Great video. With all the updates, over time my sim had become a bit jittery. Thanks to your tips it runs like butter now! Looks great too. Thank you very much. 👍
Would be so kind to indicate which nvidia driver version you have installed. I have 4090 but huge problem to use dlss in any version. Pop up panel instrument dramatically affect fps in negative way and monitors start to flash. I’m becoming crazy
Thank you for the tips. What software do you use to show the frames per second in the top left corner of the screen? Do you think that the Nvidia 4090 is a huge improvement over its predecessor? Best regards Medaht
Thank you Q8 pilot . You are the reason i purchased MSFS . I have a ASUS laptop( RTX 3050, 16 Gb ram. ) currently I get between 30 and 40 FPS the graphic settings in a high mode. I’m definitely gonna try this tomorrow. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial.❤❤
Thank you Q8 for this one! I am in the process of doing what you say. But I'm unable to delete all the files in DXCache and GLCache? The system reports that they are opened and cannot be removed!?

Do try out the settings, many have reported better experience.

May I ask why you are using 300 with a 2060super. Even my 4070 can't handle 300. 200 creates stutter in some places. Worse case scenario you'll max out your vram.
Great video thank you Q8Pilot :) Recent changes to the NVidia installs have changed the location of the shader cache files which your channel viewers might like to know about.
Thanks a million. Yes I need to pin a comment and update the video. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hi Guys, please can someone confirm where the shader cache files have changed too?? Many thanks 😉
The first and only real Game Changer tweak that really works for both MSFS and X-Plane 11/12
Thank you for sharing your experience. Happy flying!
One question. I Ve to delete the cache Nvidia every time ? Or Just One time ? Thankyou
After sim or driver update.
That intro is on another level!! Love it
Thanks, I am glad you liked it.
What are your settings for the traffic options?
Setting "unlimited"....not sure, but will the drive (c) then fill up very quickly? Is 10gb not enogh? =)
What settings do you use on your monitor? What are your G-Sync settings in Nvidia Control Panel?
Enable gsync for windowed and non windowed screen.
@Q8Pilot One other thing, when you set Anisotropic Filtering to 16X in NCP, you said to turn it off in game. However in game, your Anisotropic Filtering was set to 16X. How should it be set?
To Hags or NOT to Hags with at 3060Ti? (seems to give me stutters, which also reflex does).
My Nividia folder is empty? any clues?
when i delete the shader cache, it regenerates itself again, it's like a loop. How i can fix that?
No need. Just delete once and then after every sim update or driver update.
Yep, it worked! Even on my (almost) potato pc. Thanks mate!
QUESTION: Do we have to do that everytime or just one ?
@Q8Pilot you say to enable anisotropic filtering in the NVCP and turn it off in sim. Why are you still using 16x in sim then?
This was left over from a previous test. You can turn it off in the sim.
@@Q8Pilot thank you
Great instructions! Thank you very much.
Great show but I don't see rhe DXCahe folder,I only the GLCache folder and the NvBackend folder , do I delete anything in the NvBackend folder
nVidia has moved the DXCache folder here \AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion
I can't delete in the appdata folder. It says being used by another program.
That's ok.
I mean the cache in the the first folder you described.
Thank you Q8! Just improved my msfs2020 performance, much thanks!
Glad this helped! Thanks for sharing and watching the video.
Worked wonders for me mate. Thank you!
Most welcome glad it helped.
Can you explain why forcing anisotropic filtering in the control panel is better than just switching it on in MSFS?
It provides much sharper ground textures. Try it out.
So do you now recommend using DX12?
Yes
I don't have a Dxcache folder. Any ideas? Running a 3070Ti
Hi Q8 Piltot!! One of the best piece of advice ever! It really changed how my sim performs…. Just a question regarding cache … both Nvidia shade cache and MSFS Rolling cache… which is your recommendation for deleting them? Every once in a while?? After every sim session? Thank you so much!!!
Glad this was helpful. I recommend deleting them every time you experience stuttering. Also good idea to perform this after either an Nvidia driver update or sim update. Happy flying!
@@Q8Pilot Perfectly noted! Have a nice week!!
@Q8Pilot MSFS crashes to desktop everytime with the filters enabled. As soon as I turn off the filters from Alt+F3 the sim runs fine. 4090, latest drivers, Windows 10. SU12 RTM.
This is a known issue by nvidia and will be fixed in a later driver update.
Couldn't delete all files in the first shader cache folder. Said things were open in dashboard.exe any thoughts?
That's ok, as long as MSFS is not running, you are fine.
I have some problem to delete the nvidia shader cache because I receive the message that the file is running. Could you help me to sorted out?
It's ok leave the remaining files. Just make sure Sim is not running when you delete the files.
I dont see DXCache folder in NVIDA folder, even though in NVIDIA Control Panel setting, my shader cache size is set to unlimited
Nvidia moved the DXCache in the recent update. It is under LocalLow, Perversion then DXCache.
To delete nvidia cache, MSFS is or isn’t running?? i can’t tell from the video sound..
Sorry it should not be running.
@@Q8Pilot thank you! i will check the tips!
It works very fine ! also in an old and low performing pc it delete completely every stutters.... Many many thanks Sir ;)
Glad this worked out well for you. Happy flying and thanks for watching!
I have 32 “NVIDIA” folders, they all have dxchache but none of them have a glcache?
I have a few things to say
1. Do not use dx12 if you need fps. its experimental and can really impact your fps
2. I wish the title of this video specified for Nvidia drivers only considering i have AMD drivers.
Without DX12 you can't have frame generation.
dx11 really helps my pc run msfs better@@Q8Pilot
hi, bought the FPS Monitor via Steam, nothing is displayed to me in MSFS ?!? Am I doing something wrong or have I forgotten something ?
Run msfs first. Then launch FPSMonitor. Select the metrics you want from the menu. Then minimize FPSMonitor. The metrics will be displayed on the screen.
What is your FPS counter? Thanks!
You said to change anisotropic in nvidia panel and then can turn off in sim but when you showed your sim settings it was still on
In my case, it does not matter due to the specs.
@@Q8Pilot True, in your case it might not matter but for other people watching this video and mimic what they see visually will have it on in both locations. I noticed it visually and remembered what you said. Maybe edit the video to show that you have it off in the sim.
What is the issue in having it on on both? I do not think it will double the processing. In my case it gives no difference where you turn it on. So not sure why it is seen as a hint.
What hardware and frame-rate monitor are you using? I like it better than all the others I've seen.
I am using FPSMonitor.
I turned all of the apps off. when I try to delete the DXcache files many can't be deleted because it says File in Use or file open. Any suggestions?
That's ok, you can proceed. MSFS files were deleted and remaining files are held by other programs.
can't delete the dxcache files because pc says that this files are open ion nviadia share and if i close it, it reopen automatically
Hi Q8Pilot. Great video. With all the updates, over time my sim had become a bit jittery. Thanks to your tips it runs like butter now! Looks great too. Thank you very much. 👍
Glad this has helped. Happy flying!
frames generator on or off?
If i copied your MSFS2020 settings with my 2060, would i still be able to play the game smoothly?
No, your card can't take it for sure.
do you have any problem to pop out windows panel in external monitor? I have 531.68 driver Ge Force
No problems there no.
No lower fps, you can move windows anywhere, close and reopen. I have a lot of instability when I pop out window
Thank you Q8! I also set MFS to "priority" via Task menu and that helps as well.
Thanks for watching, yes, this can help on lower to mid range machines.
+ msi utility and give gpu HIGH priorization.
Would be so kind to indicate which nvidia driver version you have installed. I have 4090 but huge problem to use dlss in any version. Pop up panel instrument dramatically affect fps in negative way and monitors start to flash. I’m becoming crazy
I have and always have the latest nvidia drivers.
Thank you for the tips. What software do you use to show the frames per second in the top left corner of the screen?
Do you think that the Nvidia 4090 is a huge improvement over its predecessor?
Best regards
Medaht
FPSMonitor for FPS. 4090 is the best card in market today.
Thank you Q8 pilot . You are the reason i purchased MSFS . I have a ASUS laptop( RTX 3050, 16 Gb ram. ) currently I get between 30 and 40 FPS the graphic settings in a high mode. I’m definitely gonna try this tomorrow. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial.❤❤
Thanks for watching my friend, I sure do hope this helps you.
Did you make the changes? i have the same laptop only seeing this video today at work.
Thank you! Finaly something works for me!
Hi !! Can you write how you open the Nvidia filtering tab ?? Thank you
It is mentioned in the video. ALT + F3
@@Q8Pilot tks!! and y have to do it while the Sim is running wright?
Thank you Q8 for this one! I am in the process of doing what you say. But I'm unable to delete all the files in DXCache and GLCache? The system reports that they are opened and cannot be removed!?
That's ok as long as MSFS is not running, you are good to go.
In the video u sed to set filtering to 16x in the nvidia settings and to set it off in msfs but u have it set to 16x in the sim.
What software are you using for measuring the FPS in MSFS?

What are you using for fps counters?
FPSMonitor
I do not have a GLCache folder? Is that an issue?
No not at all.
