fireartist Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hi all. I don't know what has hapenned since update 10, but my ancient computer has a new lease of life. SPEC: I5 3570k OC 4.3mhz, GTX970, 3200mhz 16Gb ram, 1TB HDD, 30mbs internet, 43" TV with a 32" monitor Unfortunately due to ill health I have not had the funds to upgrade my computer, but since my son bought me MSFS 2020 and I have now completed 650 hours flying with it, the latest update has been brilliant. Firstly, every upgrade I have been fortunate to not have CTD's, the only problem i encounterd was the USB disconnect and that is now sorted. I have spent hours getting the best out of my ancient system, but as I said, this latest update and DX12 is amazing. My settings are 1920x1080 with game settings at medium preset with 16X antisotropic. clouds set to high. TLOD 100 and OLD 100. I have found this the best setting and I am achieving 30fps at airports such as KSFO, KLAX and the enhanced MSFS airports. I fly mostly GA along with the Citation Longitude. It's not 100% perfect I get stutters when coming into land but not enough to stop my enjoyment, but moving about the airports are smooth aswell as takeoffs and cruise. DX12 has made a big difference to my flying experience.Just did a TBM flight from KVNY to KHAF. The clouds and scenery absolutely stunning and a very smooth flight. I follow the threads on the forums and the amount of people with high end systems who get FPS problems is amazing. Don't know why my system keeps performing, maybe because I know and have experimented with all combinations and settings to make sure all my components run in sync. Good news though I will be upgrading to a new computer this time next year, I hope Asobo do not mess any future upgrades for performance as I am thoroughly enjoying the sim at the moment. i5 3570k oc @ 4.3ghz, 16gb DDR3 Ram, 1TB HDD, GTX 970, 43" 4K Hisense TV , Logitech Yoke and Rudder, Logitech Flight panels.

chicagorandy Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Good news, I had to check my system and Google. DX12 is built in to Windows 11, so my latest Windows upgrade must have given me the capability/features it offers?

nsproles Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 ..., so my latest Windows upgrade must have given me the capability/features it offers? Have you installed the latest 22H2 update of Windows 11? If so, is it running OK? I have seen elsewhere that it causes MSFS to CTD.
