MSFS DLSS Graphic Boost With This 1 Trick Setting

[@cpt-bossman]

⚠ *Important Note:* If you’re using GPU scaling like NVIDIA DSR, be cautious-it can overload your GPU and VRAM, especially at 4K or higher, potentially causing performance issues and game crash. For lower resolutions, it can boost quality without major FPS loss. - TAA offers the best visual quality, but not all systems can handle it. For performance or preference, try DLSS. If TAA works perfectly for you, skip tweaking this-it won’t add much. - For DLSS users, experiment with presets like Ultra Performance, Performance, Balanced, Quality, or DLAA (focused on Anti-Aliasing). Test to find the best fit for your hardware. - Update your NVIDIA drivers, and don’t forget the AMD FidelityFX Sharpening slider in the sim for sharper visuals! 👊

I have to use DLSS cause that's how I get the smoothest result despite the bluriness and you my guy found a way to make it clear!!!!!!!! RESPECT CAPTAIN!!! 💯

[@cpt-bossman]

Thanks, glad this helped, enjoy the smoother performance!

[@Icaruj]

Awesome tip, if you have an intel CPU i9900k, i10900k, 11, 12 and so on, make sure to disable Hyperthreading and Virtualization on your CPU config on bios as it improves performance and removes stuttering.

[@cpt-bossman]

Interesting tip! I'll have to give it a try on my next flight! Thanks for sharing

[@arescyp]

I am using DLSS with my NVIDIA 3080Ti only and it works perfect. But till I finally switch over to 2024, there still need a lot of approvement from the developer.

[@cpt-bossman]

Good to hear that it’s working! Agreed but I think it should be expected, we are experiencing the same effect when MSFS2020 was released but this one is going to get fixed pretty quick I’m sure!

[@JuanchiFalu]

It works well!! Thanks you are a genius

[@cpt-bossman]

You are welcome, Glad that it worked for you!

You are welcome, great to know it worked for you! And this is a great point, I’ll have to find the path for Xbox and Steam

[@zempwyd8098]

Very good video! I will use this with my 4070 SUPER

[@cpt-bossman]

Let me know how it goes Captain Zemp!

@ one of my friend tried it he said it helped a lot.

[@ht6501]

Thanks. Do you have any performance settings for VR?

[@cpt-bossman]

You are welcome 🙏 Unfortunately I do not have any VR device to test :( I’m not sure if MSFS add additional command line and such when your VR is connected

[@ht6501]

@cpt-bossman no worries, thanks for the reply. I'll give it a go when I get a chance and report back. 🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@ roger!

[@RATTMAN]

Gotta try this later when I get home. I use TAA because I hate the blurry screens

[@cpt-bossman]

Yeah let me know and tell me which card you use

[@willyr6raven]

Subbed! You the bossman. Will try this on my 4080. My performance is already smooth enough but I will try this also! Does that have any help on the blurry scenery or we still have to wait for a microsoft fix do you think?

[@cpt-bossman]

Thanks my man! 🤜 I hope this give an extra help! This is just for your raw performance when flying by using DLSS. The building form and blurry texture terrain is on MS side.

[@VincentChengg]

Tried on RTX 2060 and still got the ghosting on PFD unless I zoom in a bit.

[@cpt-bossman]

Good to know, how about clarity? Is it still blurry? What’s your base resolution?

[@PoochAndBoo]

I have an AZUS laptop with an RTX2060. It runs this? I haven't purchased because I figured my machine can't handle it. I play on 1080p of course. Runs 2020 on high just great.

[@cpt-bossman]

@@PoochAndBoo if you can run msfs2020 with no issue then you can run msfs2024 with no issue

[@PoochAndBoo]

@@cpt-bossman I'm going to buy it, I think. But if it doesn't run, I want you to give me a refund. (Only Kidding!).

[@cpt-bossman]

@ haha!

[@hyperion2502]

The blurry effect was mostly due to the motion blur. At 0, i can read... almost. My screen is kinda small.

[@cpt-bossman]

Resolution will affect it too for sure! What is your screen size? Are you ok 1080p?

[@hyperion2502]

@cpt-bossman 1920×1080p on a laptop 17inch.

[@KoPilotFlys]

Tried your trick and then went to test it out. Two things happen, one I got a danno crash or something like that and secondly my FPS went from averaging 80's and 90's to 34 fps. After that I said hell no went and put it back and all was fine. Not a good trick to say the least. I noticed in your video you never did show your fps, regardless these were my results. My graphics card is a RTX 4080, 64 gigs of ram, 7900x3d CPU. Edit: blurry graphics was never a problem for me but the ghosting of numbers was a problem. I am running on DLSS and was using DLAA, switching from DLAA to Quality did fix the ghosting numbers. Just wanted to add that.

[@cpt-bossman]

I’d like to know more about your case, hit me on discord so I can show you my FPS then we are going to check your issue 👍🏼

[@vice111-g8v]

DLAA looks crips for sure but I prefer using BALANCED, while it’s not blurry on my side wit this 1 setting, I feel my sim is still smoooth. Thanks for the additional info

[@vice111-g8v]

I use TAA which my fps is around 35 but I tried this an it feels like butter especially regarding the imput on the joystick, thank you for sharing SUB!

[@burgadahz17]

Man literally found a loophole in the regulations

[@cpt-bossman]

Hahaha 😎

[@ebojager]

Wow thanks for this! I’m trying it now on my i7-13700f and RTX4070. It’s causing quite a bit of performance hit for me but looks so much cleaner. Had to drop down to performance where before I was on quality/ balance. Do you have any information on what this setting actually does ?

[@cpt-bossman]

DLSS essentially takes a lower resolution version of your game and uses AI to upscale it, improving performance while trying to maintain good visuals. With this setting, we’re effectively doubling the scaling, which enhances image rendering based on your base resolution. However, if your base resolution is already high, you might experience some performance degradation in exchange for a sharper, clearer image with DLSS.

[@ebojager]

@@cpt-bossman Thank you, ya I think my base resolution was too high to use this, though it wasnt too bad. I havent really compared a lower than native 4k resolution with your edit yet. Now If we can get the airfield aircraft to load in with higher detail before Im right next to them, we will be set :)

[@vizzieizzy]

So I have a pretty high end PC and have heard that the DLSS in 24 is running an older version. Would just updating this on a higher end PC give the same results? Or would I still need to modify the config file? This sim being so buggy and knowing many many fixes are coming I want to try and avoid editing a config file....

[@cpt-bossman]

The performance gain from updating the DLSS file is minimal, around 2-5%, but you might notice a slightly clearer picture. Unfortunately, this is due to how DLSS is implemented in MSFS2020 and MSFS2024, where the rendering resolution is set low by default. To improve it, you’ll need to adjust the value in the config file unless Microsoft introduces a slider or setting to tweak it directly in the sim. As I mentioned, this tweak is optional and easy to reverse if you’re not happy with the results but doubt that MS will do something about it. Cheers 🥂

[@FinZippo]

For me it didnt work. I am using Ultra Settings and pretty much same as you on DLAA, and it dropped FPS to 2-10 on 4080 gpu. When using Ultra performance, I did get frames back, but Fenix 320 had all screens black. So, went back on using 1.0000. Thanks for tutorial thou. Maybe someone finds this usefull.

[@cpt-bossman]

It’s so interesting that we can all have the same or similar hardware set up and we are not all getting the same results I’m still glad that you try and get me your feedback! See you in the skies ✈️

[@FinZippo]

@@cpt-bossman Yeah i try usually if I can get better frames and quality. New sim so not alot of information there yet.

[@rekhyt1556]

Hi ! I have the impression that it works, it's not bad. On the other hand it changed the color of the ath which is really not pretty now, is that normal?

[@cpt-bossman]

Are you able to screenshot before and after?

[@marccastlerock6997]

Awesome with my old i7-3770K & RTX3060 a game-changer setting. With my specs the walk-around is awful... the movement is very laggy and walks always after releasing the key..... i hope in a mod to skip it

[@cpt-bossman]

Sir! Am I reading this right? You are still rocking on a 3rd Gen i7 CPU to handle MSFS2024? Christmas is coming, I think it’s time ⭐️ Glad that it did something for ya!

[@lionhellll]

Argh ! This trick is crashing my GPU ! RTX4070. Giving an error popup windows saying the GPU has crashed ! Before the crash itself, scenery takes a long time to load a Minecraft type scenery ! After few seconds on the tarmac CRASH and error message !

[@cpt-bossman]

I'm willing to troubleshoot come to discord we can look into this

[@MyMach4]

So if my native teso is 3860x2160 How should i use this setting on a 3080ti

[@cpt-bossman]

Because SecondScaling 2.00000 will double the size of your current resolution. Try 1.1 then 1.2 increase until you see perf degradation

[@SHOCKSTRUT]

Great Video! Thanks. Does anyone know how to brighten up the instrument panel lights? It's almost as if turning them up does nothing.

[@cpt-bossman]

Thank you! Did you move over a third-party plane from 2020 to 2024?

[@SHOCKSTRUT]

@cpt-bossman No I'm using all stock 2024 aircraft.

[@MartinGraeff]

Great stuff man. Thanks a lot. Well I was excited too soon too early. My system froze. Running a 4090 and a 7950X3D here. Plenty of headroom but didnt work out. Latest drivers installed. DLSS in quality mode. The numbers are blurry when I push the stick forward. Was the case in 2020 and again in 2024. How do I fix this? Any suggestions? Thx again. Keep up the work.

[@cpt-bossman]

@@MartinGraeff After updating the DLSS version and applying the setting you still have blurry issue?

[@kamex11]

Well, you clearly missed something cuz i use the same hardware and it definitely gives results

[@MartinGraeff]

@@kamex11 I agree but what?

[@MartinGraeff]

@@cpt-bossman I think I know what causes the issue here. I use DSR factors in NCP. My resolution in MSFS is 3840x2054 and fullscreen 4096x2160. I read some stuff about SecondaryScaling is talking about scaling within MSFS but can be done outside MSFS as well with NCP. This is what I found: "...secondary scaling set to 2.0 simply let the sim being rendered in 2x the resolution you selected ingame. Means: you can achieve this using render scale set to 200 or simply using DSR factors." So my guess is you use Sec scaling or you use DSR factors not both. Means overkill on the GPU.

[@cpt-bossman]

​@@MartinGraeff Ah, there it is-you’ve pinpointed the issue! DSR scales the image based on the post-DSR resolution, and using this trick essentially doubles that scaling that you already have. For example, if you're working with 4096x2160, doubling it brings you to a near 8K resolution, which puts a heavy load on VRAM and tanks your frame rates which could cause crash. DSR and Secondary Scaling achieve similar results, so it really comes down to which one works best for you. Personally, I’ve noticed some ghosting with DSR. If you want to stick with DSR for general scaling but leverage Secondary Scaling specifically for FS, you might consider starting with a lower base resolution like 2560x1440 or 3840x2160, then let Secondary Scaling do its thing. With a 4090, this setup should be a breeze! Hope this help brother!

[@brin57]

Maybe if you've got a super high end rig you might try not using DLSS ! You don't need to. We mere mortal moderate and low end rig owners might need to use it because budget constraints, but we are also not against turning the odd setting down a bit to get performance. Hell, I'm on a 5600x and a 4070, and get acceptable performance on High settings without DLSS. So sick of people with mega rigs spending $2k + on GPU's bangin' on about there problems . You got no problems Bruh !!

[@cpt-bossman]

I did explain at some point that some people have to use DLSS and if this odd solution helps, then good for them! Now Bruuuuuuuuuuuh!!! Why are you getting sick over this, relax!! I can use TAA with no issue if that makes you feel better

[@rakon8496]

how often do you see vram usage > 16GB? Thank you

[@titelrolvertolker]

I tried this for both MSFS2024 and 2020 and it works. However this will eat up your vram so there is no benefit for me with a 12 gb card. Still getting better performance by just using TAA.

[@cpt-bossman]

I am interested to know which card you do use?

[@titelrolvertolker]

@cpt-bossman a rtx 4070ti. Msfs 2024 already is quite heavy on the vram and if i load in some heavy scenery it likes to eat up my vram quickly
