Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Boost Your FPS with NVIDIA Frame Generation on NON 4000 Series GPUs

On my RTX 3060 with everything on high I get very smooth performance over London, which is something I never did get in 2020. No idea what the fps is, I don't care as long as it flies smoothly. Gonna try this technique though, it could be useful for other situations. Cheers.

Frame generation isn't supported by the 3060 anyway, but like you said the 3060 holds up well.

Thank you so much! Works fantastic on my 3080ti (laptop) when flying a Fenix A321. No need to upgrade 🙂

[@blastofo]

VR performance has been significantly improved too, which is awesome. I think my framerate might even be better in VR than flatscreen. Once the game gets fixed up, it's going to be awesome.

[@BPMa14n]

This does not hold true for me Quest 2 RTX 3070 3700x 16GB. In fs 2020 I could do max resolution2560p and get 30 frames. In msfs2024 I have to drop to 1636p for the same effect and my link keeps crashing

[@blastofo]

@ I also have a 3070, but with the recommended 32gb ram. You should add that memory, its less than $50. Link cable is not always better than wireless. With wireless you can use Virtual Desktop which uses ASW and improves performance. Also if you are having performance issues playing flatscreen then the problem is likely with their servers and not an issue with VR. Whats certain is that 2024 uses multi threading and is no longer bottlenecked by the cpu like 2020 was. My gpu is being utilized more. Also you should have the sim set to use Nvidia DLSS.

[@Michel-ts4gp]

I can’t see a frame generation button in the vr settings tab, how did you enable this? I can in the regular settings though

[@blastofo]

@@Michel-ts4gp settings menu>general>graphics, and its under anti ailising, then select nvidia dlss, and try the balanced or performance presets. The sim has a bug where it can forget settings and go back to default settings. If you do decide to try wireless and virtual desktop, in the options setting, set OpenXR runtime to VDXR.

[@sweet1]

⁠@@BPMa14nDo upgrade to 32 gb and get Virtual Desktop. I bought the link cable thinking it was an improvement but wasnt. Its easier with VD and it has cool environments, easy to change resolution and bandwidth. Plus you can move around and not be constrained by a cable.

As a professional for heating systems, I just realized that Flight Simulator graphics tweaking follows the thermodynamic laws of combustion: CPU latency is the burning gas (f.e.) and GPU latency is oxygen. you need a small amount more of oxygen than fuel to get a clean burning.. ;)

[@regwatson2017]

You know what is pretty evil and makes me angry ? NVidia could have written this software for us 3000 Series Users but deliberately withheld it from us to make us upgrade our cards - as if NVidia isn't rich enough already. Good on the person who made this for the masses but sending plenty of hate for NVidia.

[@Malloriak]

We live in capitalists economic formation. The goal of NVidia is making money. If they make software upgrade to 3000 series..who will buy 4000.. i assume somedays they will make driver update, that would derate 3000.. Some years ago Apple was cought in cheating. They made OS update, that slow down old Iphones, so people like to buy new ones for faster work
