I have poor graphics; low to ultra almost no difference

[Citab]

I expected better graphics and wonder if I have something set incorrectly.

I expected to get at least the quality I had with FSX but his is no fun at all.

My computer is i7-6700k, 32GB, 1TB SSD, Nvidia 1070 8GB Win10 Pro

I have one 1920x1080 monitor.

I have turned off photogrammetry and all data off.

I tried low, med, high, and ultra.

I updated to latest Nvidia drivers.

The Win10 Pro is a fresh install with only FS2020 installed.

I don't get any errors.

FPS looks like 60; vert sync locked

Appreciate any advice or comments.

I think the problem is that you have data turned off, so it can't get the textures from bing, turn that back on and see what happens.

Your screenshot still looks better than FSX to me. A lot better!

But yeah, without data being on you will get the offline (basic) scenery.

Thank you for the reply. I can't agree. I can't begin to fly on instrument with this. Here is a screen shot of my C-172 console and it is unflyable on instruments. I can't read the compass or any instrument. The second image is flying out of SFO over the city. Maybe the static images don't show the big problem. Jaggies are all over the aircraft model. The ailerons and flaps are often just blurred into the wing and sometimes they have very ugly jaggies. My screen looks like it is a 1024x768 image enlarged to 1650x1050.

There has to be something very basic wrong with my system, configuration, or hardware. There was an RC aircraft simulator about 20 years ago and my FS2020 looks like it. I moved to a box with a i7-7700 and the results are the same.

 

Can anyone post a screen capture of a Nvidia 1070, i7 4GHz image? I see youtube videos that look great to fantastic.

Wow, I see what you mean. It looks a bit blurry.

It should look a lot, lot clearer than that. As you say, there has to be something wrong with your setup. I’m not sure what though. Hopefully someone else here can help.

Maybe you could post a screenshot of your graphics settings?

What's the native resolution of your monitor?

I see you have a 1680x1050 resolution set, and if your monitor has a 1920x1080 native res (that's the usual basic standard even for low end monitors and laptops right now) that's what happens.

 

I'm sure if you set the game res to the screen native res you will experience a better graphic.

I uninstalled and installed over the last 5 hours. That had no effect. But in the FPS display I noticed that my game is being rendered at 504x315! There are three lines below what I think is the frame time or loop calculation. They show:

1690x1050

Game 504x315

Post 1690x1050

 

My resolution in the Options General GRAPHICS is set to 1680x1050

 

Anyone know how I can change the Game resolution?

[Citab]

I found it.

 

Options General GRAPHICS RENDER SCALING

 

This was at the full left position. I can't imaging anyone wanting that setting. A more user friendly label might be ACTUAL RESOLUTION and they could have displayed the scaled resolution in place of numbers from 30 to 200.

FYI this was somehow my default. And changing it to 100 (percent I think) actually increased my FPS by 18%.

Thanks to all for trying to help.

Maybe you have a Nvidia graphic card? I had poor graphics and could in Nvidia settings at Manage 3d settings and under the program Microsoft Flight Simulator use the knob Restore and then I had perfect graphics

I found it.

Glad you were able to sort that out. That is weird. I wonder how it ended up that way.
