MSFS 2024 Recommended Specs Published | Will You Need To Upgrade Your PC?

[@hobanagerik]

The answer to this video is simple. Wait until November 20th before making a decision.

[@TWOKDOK1]

or even December?

... i ll be more precise ... i ll wait for November 2025 . Every new FSim needs one year to get ready in the community .

Great video Mark! I'm gonna hold to what i have .....for now. Win 11, i7 9700K, RTX 3070, 32GB of ram and 400 Mbps internet, It's running the sim very nice.

[@tasercs]

Another great video with your usual balanced viewpoints Mark. I can't wait to try 2024 but I'm old enough to be at least a bit wary. I cannot imagine the Microsoft servers handling the amount of people who will download it on day one. And not to forget the installation issues that plagued the initial release of 2020. I have loads of patience anyway, so I have time to let it bed in and have the wrinkles ironed out before I step in.

[@Stringbean421]

@tasercs That's why it's best to pay for the pre-order available on Steam, not sure about the other download platforms. By going the pre-order route, you get to download it before the official release day but of course, the Sim will be locked until release day but at least you won't get caught in the dreaded download queue on the day.

[@tasercs]

@@Stringbean421 Thanks. Useful info

[@HammieNL]

This is something you plan ahead for. So it should not be an issue. The new cloudbase system is designed for this purpose so same thing. The steamdownloads are always stable so also no problems there. Can't wait ❤

[@StrGzr101]

Thank you. Best breakdown so far. I'm looking at the box with my new intel i7-10700F in it. I've got a GTX 3060 card, so I feel comfortable now. I've even uninstalled and deleted the terabytes of 2020 content in preparation. MSFS 2024 appears to be everything I wanted 2020 to be. Really looking forward to it. Thanks, again. Your presentations are just wonderful. I see the work.

[@RIKAAR_Ambient]

That's good to know! So the rtx 3090 can just work on. The AM4 platform with 64 gb also! We have a good connection here in hungary for quiet cheap money. Round about 400mbps.

[@richardcarter5404]

I’ll also be sticking with my i7-12700K, 4090 & 32GB DDR4 3600. I’m running 4K@120Hz on a 55” Sony X90K with zero issues. I think I’ll wait for a bit to see what happens on release week before I jump in, I’m very happy with the sim right now.

[@OzzySafa]

As they have optimised the cpu multi threading I think the need for a better gpu than that you’re currently using for 2020 will be less necessary. Even more so for VR but more v ram will always help. They mentioned in the live stream that 64GB ram is only recommended for people streaming and recording and the same time, otherwise 32gb will be just fine.

[@rolandgardiner3059]

Thanks Mark, informative video as usual. Wait and see how it runs on your current unit is sensible!

[@RedRuffinsore]

My current setup is the "ideal" nVidia/Intel setup except for only having 32 gigs of RAM. I am fortunate to have gigabit internet.

[@dave-j-k]

Nice video, I think server-internet-pc bandwidth is going to be an issue for many users.

[@707liner8]

Yeah, that's my main concern - the max I can get is 40 mbps, so I'm hoping it's going to be sufficient as there's no broadband upgrade on the horizon for my suburb in Perth, Australia.

[@mmagowd]

Probably not. I have a top of the line monster pc but a 80mbps internet connection and I can't run 2020 without stutter because of server and network limitations... I think you should be able to try it and return it. ​@@707liner8

[@eddiezetlein6582]

I well remember the initial release of FSX back in the day. Performance compared to FS9 was awful until the 2 service packs came along after a couple of years. The official ME add-on was called Acceleration which gives a clue. I shall ask and see , because my current PC runs FS 2020 really well. I have however upgraded my internet provider to Community Fibre and now have 1 GBS download and upload for the same price as my former provider with 75 MBS.

Right now, I am using about 20GB RAM with FS 2020 plus what i run on the side, browser, Navigraph, etc. My system only has 2 RAM slots and it cost about $150 for 64GB RAM, minus what I can sell the 32GB for.

Note. The machine specifications stated are for ONE monitor. 3 monitors or 1 monitor and VR, think about going better tham 'Ideal' of reduce the Graphics settings. On 2020, My rig is 13900K, 4080ti, 32GB. 4K monitor + Vive Pro 2 HMD. Internet is 500 Mbps. I have to reduce some graphics settings to Med or Low. I have AutoFPS to optimise TLOD and frame rate. I will wait to read or view vlogs before I purchase 2024

[@REEDFSX]

Agree with others - wait until it has been out and there are a few benchmarks. The new generation of AMD CPUs are coming out in the next few months, so it makes no sense upgrading now before we know how well 2024 will handle multithreading.

[@Lonsome1223]

VR PERFORMANCE is what I'm interested in.

[@julianneale6128]

I'm currently running an R7 5800X3D, with RTX3090 and 32Gb of RAM, with 66Mbps of Internet speed. I fly in VR all the time and currently have no issues, apart from sometimes it takes time for terrain to build. I assume that my fps should at least somewhat improve, given the CPU multithread and the new way of graphics building the new sim has. What are other people thinking?

[@haroldnicholson8603]

I got over 900 mbps where I live and I'd rather give up heating than intenet right now.

As always a great and informative videa from you Mark.

[@kennedyrice1517]

Good info. When I run my sim, it's the only app running. I'll use my iPad for e-mail or streaming if I want to do that while I'm flying. I currently have 32GB, so I'm good. But the tech in me always want to upgrade😊.

[@TENGILL]

So if they are going to stream the game to you, you are going to need a real good internet connection. I am so happy i live in Sweden, where we have that infrastructure built AND it is not costing an arm and/or a leg. I feel really sorry for the countries where that is not the case.

It's very exciting Mark, and I personally think MSFS 2024 is what we need. As an ex Microsoft employee, I'm waiting to order on the employee purchase scheme which I'll do at the end of Nov. My new 4TB SATA goes in tomorrow as my Community folder has exploded across 3 x 1TB SSD's. My biggest question is how we share 2020 addons in 2024? Will the likes of PMDG/Fenix/Orbx/Contrail/etc. have a way to share their installs (on separate SSD) sync'd across both 2020 & 2024 comunity folders. Anyway, we don't have long now to wait. Thanks for your videos - great job.

7800xt paired to a 9700x and 32 gigs of ram. I can run MSFS 2020 decently and we are supposed to have a performance boost with the new sim so I should be good.

[@eracer1111]

I have big concerns about how the 'just-in-time' scenery/object loading will work. As I look around the outside world now, the sim loads objects from my very fast SSD's, because they're loaded into the drive before I hit 'Fly.' Holding those objects back until I look in their direction means comparative latency and lag. There's no way around that. I hate to say it, but it's yet another example of how the sim cripples its potential in order to accomodate the lesser capabilities of the console.

[@bsd107]

I totally agree. I’d rather download everything

[@RubenvanKuik]

I'm personally running a liquid cooled (with 360mm radiator) 7800X3D and 4080 setup. I upgraded from 32GB to 64GB ram last week after running a few tests. I noticed that I got a lot of stutters due to memory shortage in high detail areas (such as large 3rd party airports) when in high fidelity planes. They were pretty much gone after the upgrade. Turns out it was only around 2GB short under those circumstances. I fly in and out of FlyTampa's EHAM (Schiphol) all the time, so it was definitely worth it for me.

[@slizzy418]

You need more faster cores 8 cores will not cut it

[@RubenvanKuik]

@@slizzy418 Could you elaborate? I'm not too tech savvy. My CPU and GPU weren't maxed out, but my RAM was. Simply adding more memory solved it for me.

[@anbrod1]

Bring it on!!!

[@DG-xh8fz]

I'm 1 gen behind on both my CPU and GPU, (i9 / 3080 Ti). I have 64 GB of ram and a 1.2 Gb internet connection. I was able to run the tech demo on ultra settings and maintained around 30fps with no stutters. MSFS 2020 I often get stutters with low frame rates. So, I have high hopes I don't need to upgrade anything.

[@bobbrown8661]

If its heavily reliant upon streaming, I suspect internet connection quality is going to matter somewhat more, latency should also be spec'd.

[@topofthegreen]

that’s how it goes, new sim, new computer.

[@Isobel201]

my Predator Helios 300 is in between recommended and top spec, so should be good to go, although I don't buy games for a while after they first come out.

[@alanharris2799]

I am more concerned about the streaming side of it because of the number of outages they have in playfab and azure. The specs listed seemed odd to me, especially at the lower end of the table. Time will tell but until I can confirm all my addons work with 2024, I’m not purchasing. Might have taken a punt if there were discounts for previous owners but full retail on premium deluxe is higher than I’d like

[@icykenny92]

You can download the plane and scenery to reduce the need for streaming, I wouldn't be too concerned.

A key question is how the game looks at "minimum graphics".

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

I have a decent CPU Ryzen 9 5950X 16 cores, 32GB Ram. But I will be held back by my RTX 3060 graphics card. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to upgrade my graphics card at the moment. But at least my 3060 has 12GB of VRAM, so that should help a bit. I have Virgin internet at 120MB/s, so I should be OK there too. I run on a 3440 x 1440 Samsung 32" curved monitor. MSFS 2020 runs OK until I get to a busy airport. Then my FPS tanks. However I can help that a bit by using the Lossless Scaling App from Steam. I could maybe upgrade to 64GB of ram for about £70, but I am restricted to DDR4 ram.

If the antiquated core of 2020 would be the problem - then it should be possible by using multiple cores and threads to reduce the specs .

MSFS 2020 runs well - XP11 runs well - but already XP12 is installed but not used , because it doesnt follow MY SPECS . I think MSFS 2024 will also stay outside .... so what .

[@Lovecars1218]

As the MSFS2020 was very poorly optimized and heavy relied on sinngle core performance, the 2024 version should not be much more demanding, especially CPU wise, as it will finally utilize more cores so single core performance will not be that important anymore. I also believe, it could be benefetial to upgrade to 32Gigs of RAM. As the by far most expensive piece of hardware to uprade would be the GPU, i believe only VRAM should be a concern. As the FS can be perfectly enjoyed with less than 60 frames, i´ll stick with my 3070 for now.

[@Pixelatedworld-iu2dd]

MSFS 2024 is basically identical to MSFS 2020. So yes if your pc can run MSFS 2020 then it will be fine. Any changes to the new sim are not major changes from what ive seem or heard. Its the same game engine, complete with flaws, ie the Horizon bug is still there. Oh and still no basic flyby camera or tower views, which am starting to wonder if this is deliberate despite Asobo saying they will implement it. Still MSFS 2024 looks amazing and no doubt is a great addition to have. I just wish they would include a basic flyby option, rather than the gimmicky ability to get out of you plane and take photos of animals. 🤣

I agree with your comments about the CPU specs - the 2700x suggestion is,,, a joke, as is the suggestion that it will run with just a 10Mbps connection. It's as dumb as the 64GB suggestion, when the guy himself states it will not use 64GB!

2020 doesnt run well with a 14900 and a 4090. 4090 gpu utilization is at 50% while threads in the cpu are maxed out.

I'll wait and see. Do we know if the 2020 add-ons will work in 2024?

[@SimHangerFS]

Most, yes.

[@georgesiebes]

@@SimHangerFS I hope 2024 can use file links to existing 2020 add-ons. I'm running low on disk. Now that we are getting closer to launch, the practicalities of the switch are starting to line up.

​@@SimHangerFS If you have the store Version of MS2020 and buy the Steam Version 2024 you lose the buying addon?

Doesn’t really matter. I have an RTX 4090 and i9 14900kf 32gb of ram and msfs 2020 doesn’t look anything like some of these KZbin videos. I believe There is a lot of post processing in the videos and a bucket load of add ons. Straight out of the box MSFS 2020 is good, but starting at the the minimum graphics and performance you can bare, and then stepping up settings until it’s unplayable, then back tracking is the only thing I found that works. I stopped chasing FPS a long time ago. If you can accept poor graphics then that’s fine. But if your computer doesn’t match the recommended performance as a minimum, then I wouldn’t waste my time bothering with MSFS24. As for streaming a lot more data, that is extremely disappointing. I live in a village in UK. Using a donkey would be faster than sending a message by email. Internet in UK is generally beyond pathetic. I personally would be quite happy to have the ability to download EVERYTHING that I would want to use. I have 64-70gb BUT it is extremely unstable. Again I would point out that the video shown IS NOT OUT OF THE BOX GRAPHICS.

That's what everyone seems to ignore, RAM and storage are just a few clicks away, but you can't just go and get 100Mbps

[@patrickokafor8889]

Would a 3090 be good enough for 4k ultra… thats what I’m currently using for MSFS 2020 at 4k ultra… trying to wait it out for a 5080 or 5090

Very curious what settings i'll get running on my ROG Strix G18, i9-14900HX, RTX4080 with 64gb RAM.

[@adrianstealth340]

10900k & 3080 VR & I'm stixking with it , if msfs2024 doesnt run well then I'll not buy

[@paulthurston2883]

My data plan isn't cheap so I can see it getting pretty expensive as it downloads GB's of data every time I run it.
