Bad Performance on good PC

tryviation

I've got a massive problem with the Performance in the MFS.
My specs are:
[FullHD@144Hz]
[Microsoft Store Version]

i7 4790 4x 3,6Ghz (Boost 4Ghz)
NVidia RTX 2070 8Gb 1880Mhz [7000Mhz Storage]
2x 8Gb DDR3 1666Mhz RAM
220MBit's Downlaod, 22Mbit's Upload avg. 13 ping
1x HyperX Fury 128Gb SSD [OS]
2x 1 Tb HDD [One only with the Sim itself]

Now the thing is...
If I'm flying on Ultra settings in the cockpit view im getting an avg. of 17-18 fps. [B787,A320,B747 and some GA]
But if I lower to High or even Medium settings, the game stays at an avg. of 17,5 FPS in the cockpit, even on low.
On the other hand, the FPS on the outside view got massive impacts.
Ultra: 32-38 avg. Max 55fps (Depends on Scenery)
High 45-50fps avg. MAX 66fps
medium 55fps avg. MAX 82fps
low 68fps avg. MAX 112fps

Does somebody know which component or maybe even software is causing those lags/?bugs?
Re-Installed twice already.

Thank you for feedback!

Hi,

The airliners in the game are known to drop frame rates. My guess is they aren’t as optimized as the GA cockpits (yet) as I notice this as well (being only the first couple of seconds after it’s fully loaded).

Having said that, your GPU is a bit too advanced for the rest of the system and this causes bottleneck issues: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-4790/GeForce_RTX_2070/0zU12xlu/16/100/

Meaning you’re losing about 27% of your 2070’s power because of this. Also, more and faster RAM
will certainly speed things up as 1666mhz is not really in the league of this next-gen memory eating game.

So... what to do? Faster DDR3 (and not that much faster) is quite expensive and does not solve the graphical bottleneck. Upgrading to DDR4 (way faster) and a more compatible CPU will put you more out of pocket as this requires a new Motherboard to go with it (but does the most right to your 2070). Adding 2 more bars of the same RAM you have would help the game overall and is the most affordable option.

Or just wait a little for some optimization as updates are rolled out.

There is a lot of variants on that and I can see a few problems. Your pc is not "good" as you advertised for FS2020. I've seen lots of people running on I9 CPUs and RTX2080TI and having not too high FPS.

Also, the place you're flying, weather and plane can interfere on your results so if you want to benchmark for us you will need to be more specific.

Bottleneck

I might be missing something here but if you are running the Sim and CPU is constantly at 100% you have a CPU bottleneck, otherwise you don't.

Memory - Because this game uses a lot of Memory the faster your memory access smoother will be your experience. check if your memories accept XMP profiles and boost them up to higher frequencies. Also, consider buying an extra 2x 8GB and run your system in QuadChannel. I've seen some positive differences when using quadchannels instead of Dual.
HDD - I could improve my Sim performance a bit ( less hangs) when all contents of the game were moved to a SSD. If you open task manager you will notice how much disk your Sim uses to render the scenery. In my case SSD made a lot of difference. Consider to buy a 512GB one, its cheap these days.
You can also tweak your FS graphic settings and find the sweet spot for you. I bet when you first started the Sim the default config was on Medium, right? Try to bring render scaling and terrain detail down to 100 and turn off V-Sync and check the results.
