Does a 5950x and 3090 PC Build Completely Destroy Flight Simulator 2020 at Max Graphics Settings?

How Good is Flight Simulator 2020 with AMD 5950x + NVIDIA 3090? Can Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 run smoothly at MAX SETTINGS with an AMD Ryzen 9 5950x processor and an NVIDIA 3090 graphics card? The short answer is YES, you can run MSFS 2020 at MAX SETTINGS with this equipment. Find out how good it runs and get my perspective on flight simulator gaming with this hardware in 2021.

What kind of PC are you running, and at what kind of settings? Share your MSFS 2020 flying experience in the comments below!

Gonna be cool to see in 2 or 3 generations of hardware if we'll be able to run this at over 100fps through NYC at max settings and how smooth that will be.

My dual core laptop with mx940 gpu doesn’t stand a chance for this game 😭 I’ll never understand how people can afford all these computer parts these days, maybe one day if I hit the lotto

[@chalupaairlines8849]

You can make a solid build if you save up $2000. Building a PC on your own is cheaper and fun to do as well. I would invest $2000 minimum in a PC to play this game with great visuals.

Running mine in 4K medium - ultra mixed settings. Rtx2060 32gb Lenovo gamer laptop

hi i wantto know what is your mobo you for your pc thanks a lot

[@jamesvelvet3612]

Midway eh? Twenty or so years ago my Microsoft Flight Simulator started there also. What about a Threadripper? Would the additional cores/threads be of significant improvement if running multiple 49 inch curved 4k monitors? What about multiple RTX 3090s ? A Threadripper on a SuperMicro Mobo could take a TB or two of ECC RAM ;-) 64 cores/128 threads with quad RTX 3090 Hydros would be sick.

[@chalupaairlines8849]

Yup, remember the old FS 98 in Chicago for sure. Threadripper is not designed for gaming so I hear you wont see performance gains like you're thinking. It's better at multitasking and video editing. Multiple 3090s, you'll definitely have more horsepower but not sure if you'll see huge FPS gains - you will end up using more power draw for a little FPS gain that it wouldn't be worth it. Of course I'm just speculating based on the research I did to build this PC. I thought about Threadripper and potentially 2 3090s. Someone should do a benchmark on that!

[@MrThuggery]

My rig is very similar with a 6900Xt and a 5950GPU Same Matched DIMMS, Avg 50 FPS all day and smooth as butter on ultra settings. Spending an extra 1500 bucks for a few extra frames (But not always as it is game dependent) just is not worth it.

[@rydawg7629]

I have these same specs with the exception of 64 GB of RAM, and get horrible stuttering on final approach!!

[@neoonebugc.flyboy]

What are your thoughts on the 5800xt3d. I'm wanting to upgrade my 3900xt but torn between 5800xt3d or 5950xt. Thanks

[@chalupaairlines8849]

I hear the 5800x3d has better gaming performance. Check CPU benchmarks online to see how it stacks up. KZbin is a great place to search for this.

[@jaystay1514]

anti aliasing at 4k is kinda pointless

[@diogomc2821]

Hi! What is your opinion about i5 12400 + 32gb 3200mhz RAM + rtx 3060 ti for Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS)?

[@chalupaairlines8849]

Considering that the 3060ti has a 3D Mark score of around 20,000, you should be able to play at least on High settings for most. I am playing with every slider maxed with a 3090.
