MSFS Graphics Settings - Finding The Sweet Spot of Visuals and FPS

MSFS 2020 Graphics Settings. Today I walk you through my graphics settings for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and how I achieve a stable frame rate while keeping my sim looking awesome. We discuss DLSS, terrain level of detail, object level of detail, building quality, waves, shadows, ray marched reflections and more. Hopefully this video gives you an idea of which settings have the largest impact on your frames per second, empowering you to find your own sweet spot with your system. If a career in IT has taught me anything, it's that every system is different so don't take this as an absolute recommendation for what your settings should be, but instead take inspiration and see what works best with your hardware. Please leave us a comment with how you set your sim up, it would be great information to share with the community. I use the “Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition” joystick along with the “Thrustmaster TCA QUADRANT AIRBUS Edition” throttle quadrant with a set of Logitech Flight Rudder Pedals. ▼ My PC System Specs ▼ CPU: AMD 5600X GPU: Nvidia 3070 (Gigabyte Eagle OC) RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 3600 CL16 Motherboard: MSI B550-A Pro SSD: 1TB Samsung 980 Pro PSU: Seasonic S12iii 650w Case: NZXT H510 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this video.
