In this Microsoft Flight Simulator video, we take a first look at the performance of the sim utilizing the RTX 4090 graphics card as well as the I9 13900K processor. The video will show tests of DLSS3 when compared to DLSS2 The video will also cover all my in sim as well as NVidia control panel settings.

I will also show you how to enable DLSS3 for Microsoft Flight Simulator during the course of the video. Enjoy the show!

i was so happy to find out that frame generation wasn't a gimmick. it's wild to play msfs at max settings at over 100 fps. this is a genre where 30 fps is seen as a solid level of performance

[willembont]

Unprecedented performance at an unprecedented price.

[jaerbear]

Thank you for this. I’m waiting on a custom build with the exact same gpu and cpu. Your testing is always top notch, along with your content.

[FadeToBlack]

I would be very interesting to see your fps results with FSLTL running as well at these same locations in a complex airliner.

[michaelwilliamson]

This is the flight sim you always dreamed of... congrats. you are there!

i recently upgraded from 3080ti to 4080 with i9 13900k and ddr5 32 gb, now the sim feels so smooth! . i didnt need to upgrade because i ran every game so well but the sim was struggle with my 11700k back then . now its glorious

Hi Q8Pilot, I found that the best results is to use TAA with Frame Generation On. You need to make sure in game vsync is off but do use Vsync On in the Nvidia control panel as this fixes the screen tearing caused by frame generation. With same set up 13900K and 4090, Im getting 100+ fps with Ultra settings at 4K and TLOD at 400 with Fenix A320. It’s amazing. Try it out!

[ironecke]

I just bought a 4080 and….wow…. TAA with Frame Generation is absolutely awesome!

I want to get a pc with the built in graphics card. Thanks for this video cos it really makes it seem worth it!!!

[countvonaltibar]

another fantastic video from Q8Pilot, helped my sim look a lot better many thanks!

[DeepSkySimulations]

Thank you for your video. How is your experience with the RTX 4090 and heavy AI traffic, e.g. FSLTL with 100 IFR aircraft? Do you still get 60 FPS at Ultra settings?

[Jonesey]

Well I got my ROG STRIX 4090 Yesterday after a lot of Patience trying to secure one and it turns out it does perform as well as you’ve advertised, felt sick in the Stomach paying what I did but it provides 100FPS+ (80-90 in Cockpit) whilst going over New York at Low Level with the PMDG DC-6 With all the settings on 4K Ultra and the LOD Slider on 325, its just incredible, There is Artifacting on the Tail and Props if you pan the Camera too fast, needs to be moved quite slow to make it not appear
(looks like ghosting) Light Poles at the Airports do the exact same thing quite bad if you pan to Quickly, And in the cockpit the left and right Pillars are effected by the same effect, also whilst sat at JFK in the DC-6 The Frame Rate was about 80, if you pan up to look at the roof instruments the FPS Shoots up to 120-130, when you pan back down there’s a lag spike during the Transition back to 80FPS, Airports like KASE are not effected as it’s less Performance Heavy and just runs a steady Frame Rate

But....we cant have it all so these little things will just have to be overlooked

I Personally Have Frame Gen switched on and Anti Aliasing on TAA With the Slider Below it at about 140, That makes it look Extremely Clear and Sharp, Loving the Card, wouldn’t be to impressed if Games Like RDR2 and MSFS Didn’t have DLSS as at 4K Ultra it still doesn’t perform all that Great given the Price point being $4, 000 AUD For the ROG STRIX but regardless I’m loving the Card and it’s main purpose was for MSFS, It’s Definitely altered the Experience

Thanks for the Video

Hi i have the same rig as yours btw. Lately i got some badly stutters and the game wasnt playable anymore with my 4090. It even worked better with my 3090😮 but since i followed your video and did all the steps, man now it runs like butter sometimes a stutter. But this is crazy! Thanks a lot bro!!!!

[Ajledbetter]

Wonderful video. Really nice to see some real tests, would it be possible to add VATSIM traffic, along with PMDG/Fenix and EGLL/EGKK/KLAX etc in an upcoming video? Thanks

[unstoppablememory]

What are the average fps and GPU utilization if you disable frame generation?

[Augustiner]

Thank you very much! May I ask which Nvidia driver you are currently using and if you are always updating it when a new version comes out?

[flywithusMSFS]

Just ordered the aame setup, more or less! Great video man!

Ps.: you have a funny voice

[thomasbriscoe]

Thanks for the video and have your settings recently changed?

[richritter]

Great video! Couple of questions, what framerate monitor are you using here? And, how are you keeping your processor temp below mostly 80C-90C at the most? Is it the Corsair alone? Doing this, mine's at like 92C+! I'm using a liquid cooler on mine... (I have both the i9-13900K and RTX 4090)

[thomasbriscoe]

Great video and I’m having a new rig built by Micro Center and it was the quickest way to secure the RTX 4090. Are you still using Windows 10 or 11? I’ve seen some post on FB where simmers were getting a lot of studders when using the Intel 12 or 13 generation CPU’s with Windows 10 and the 4090. Something to do with P-Cores and E-Cores getting better utilization when running MSFS with Windows 11 installed.
