Big Improvement Fix | How to Stop Micro Stuttering & Boost FPS Performance in MSFS 2020

One of the most exciting parts of flying, is the landing! However, recently my sim was encountering micro-stutters which really ruined the immersion and also made it difficult to land properly. In this video we take a look at a way to fix MSFS and remove the stutters so that it all works perfectly again.

For my 4070 laptop the process is different since the glcache and Dxcahe folders are not in the same  folder.

After going to the nvidia control panel and disabling the shader cache size, restart the PC. (If you do not restart you will not be able to delete the Dxcache folder files)

Find the Glcache folder in the /Local/Nvidia folder and do the deleting procedure.

Then go to the /Localnow/Nvidia folder where the Dxcache folder is located and do the deleting procedure.

The rest of the process shown by Gavin is the same.

Hope these help for the 4000 series card.

Tip: Before manually deleting the Nivida shader cache files, boot Windows into Safe Mode beforehand. This will allow access to all files in the cache directories whereas normal Windows mode might lock certain files that are in use at the time.

I've been scratching my head for months trying to figure out what caused the stuttering (and it really was like a slide show on some landings) because I have a very good GPU and CPU. After following your tutorial I am now 100% stutter free! Thank you so much! You're a legend. :) :) :)

Had bad stuttering in VR, which is a worse experience than on screen, and after following these instructions now it's smooth. Thank you so much!!

I once asked, 'What should I do to fix stuttering?' and someone from Microsoft replied, 'Lower your settings.' I'm sorry, but if I consistently get 40-50fps, even in larger cities, why should I lower my settings? My CPU and GPU aren't even fully utilized, my RAM is only half full, and my VRAM too. Additionally, my SSD is plenty fast. It sounds like an optimization issue to me, not a hardware overload issue, and this proves my point.

I use a AMD RX 6700 XT graphics card but some of the steps helped me a lot as I land often in Lisbon airport.
Very smooth approach last night.
Thank you very much.

Step 1: 2:41 clean up the cache in MSFS. Options>General Options>Data[scroll down]>Rolling Cache>Delete>Apply & Save.

Step 2: 3:11 exit MSFS>Launch Nvidia Control>Manage 3D settings>[scroll down]Shader Cache site> Disable>Exit & Save Settings.

Step 3: 3:45 open Appdata>Local>Nvidia>Keep Folders but Delete ALL files [or sub folders] within DX Cache and GL Cache folders.

Step 4: 4:31 type in Disk Cleanup App>Open Disk Cleanup>Delete ALL in Direct Shader Cache

Step 5: 5:04 Restart PC

Step 6: Open back Nvidia>Manage 3D settings>set Shader Cache Site to Default.

I hope this helps.

Oh gosh, you are my hero! Finally a procedure that actually works (amongst these wonderful videos that perhaps do not, although they claim they did!)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I was almost ready to give up when I stumbled in this priceless video of yours!! It actually really solved my annoying micro stuttering that started many months ago for an unknow (to me, at least) reason. Every airport was suffering from this horrid micro stuttering, and I must say, even at the beginning, as soon as I started taxiing the stuttering started as well! This is wonderful a fix, amazing a solution! I admit I never thought it would have worked for real... but then, after following your suggestions step by step and reloading the flight plan and more or less starting my flight again (but this time almost at the approach, which is quite complicated a thing to achieve withing MSFS, but I eventually did it, flying to Hammamet in Tunisia departing from Cagliari in south Sardinia, with 'my' ATR 42 and avoiding more or less 45 minutes of 'previous' flight!), I witnessed no more stuttering AT ALL! This is incredible!!
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Cheers from Florence, Italy!!

I can tell you this works 100%. I used to get really bad stuttering on approach and landing and also on takeoff just as I am about to rotate. This fixed it and it almost brought tears to my eyes that I could land smoothly. Thank you so much.

[AviationIntelligenceEveryday]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, all because I thought my PC was losing performance, and now it works perfect again

[waareagle]

Those weren't micro stutters before you cleared out your cache... they were full-blown stutters. The micro-stutters became apparent after you applied all of the fixes.

[princekrystian]

Wow, your video is a game-changer! I followed the instructions and now my MSFS 2020 is completely stutter-free. It worked like a charm! Thanks for the amazing tips! ✈

[jip]

Thanks Gavin, great tip! There is a more thorough way to delete/update Rolling Cache: Rolling Cache OFF> Cache ON. It will then fully rebuild. That rebuild takes around 20 sec. Again thanks for the tip, it''s an annoying issue.

[sybeck]

I just turned off the MSFS 'Rolling Cache' forever and the stutters disappeared and never came back. Over a month of stutter free flying so far and no drop in performance or visual quality.

[AGMTB.]

Thanks for making a video on this! I was having those exact issues. Barely any frame drops throughout the flight but as soon as I was about to touchdown, the framerate stuttered and made landing almost impossible. Gonna try these steps, cheers!

[gamesmore]

Thank you for this guide. I have not been affected by this problem until today. Today these small micro-bounces suddenly appeared on two landing approaches. I have now followed all the steps and hope for a satisfactory solution.

[stevehulbert]

Followed what you said in your video and can confirm mine finally no longer stutters and runs miles better .Thank you 😊😊

[felipeturbayr]

what could be the reason of not being able to find the Dxcache on a 4090 card? i was not able to find this folder...
update: i was now able to find it under:

THE biggest roadblock in MSFS when it comes to performance is traffic. No matter how much you optimize the sim, you will experience stutters and abysmal 1% lows due to CPU bottlenecking when flying on VATSIM and there's more than 10 airplanes (unless you own a 5800x3d or better). Unfortunately, there's not many people who notice these stutters while on VATSIM.

Another excellent video by Easyjet! Every time I have a problem or a question about the sim I always come to you, thank you so much for the tips!
