Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Benchmarked

Just looking at some Reddit threads with regards to RAM usage for FS2020 and it can make use of more than 16gigs of RAM in certain situations but 16gigs will work.
What are your current visual settings in the game? Medium generally seems to be the most recommended.
Yes going to try It on Med now but I think Nvidia sets It to low for opt performance, went Into my settings In the game and dropped the frame rate to 30ps
Soldato
You do know that 30 FPS for your system is correct?
Nope lol, Did say I know very little about pc stuff....
Soldato
No, ignore that. Just put a fan over the VRMs to keep them cool which will help performance.
You do not want to waste money on an outdated system.
what's sort of fan (stupid question)
Soldato
Any computer fan.
120mm would be fine. You can plug it into your motherboards fan point and just keep it pointed at the VRMs using cable ties.

I think you need to understand that you're trying to play a game that was designed for hardware in 3 years time so your current rig isn't going to play it at high quality 4K at 120 fps.

Can better cooling fix a TERRIBLE 3-phase VRM

You could also consider getting a 5700X (£270) and a cheap B450 motherboard, keeping your RAM and getting a new psu.
The 5700X Has 8 cores 16 threads and is a very tidy upgrade.
The new AM5 socket is going to be DDR5 only so very expensive. Rocket lake is also going to be expensive.
Socket 1700 has the Some great CPUs too, I just can’t help but point out how cheap a B450 motherboard is.
You could then save up and get a 4080 in September, it really depends.
Your whole rig needs to be improved upon to play MSFS

Lol I have so many windows open trying to see what all these things are, getting confused lol.

No worries. Do your research.
The 12700KF plus a good Z690 motherboard (MSI- Pro is £169 and good) would be a great upgrade

It’s very tasty.
12th gen very nearly made me ditch my current rig (in sig) for a 12600KF and a B660 ITX build.
I bought a surfboard instead.
Just know that there is 13th gen coming in September but it’ll probably be more expensive.
Hi JollyJamma
I got offered an GTX 2060 super today do you think It's worth It
Soldato
What's the price?
Soldato
I don't like it for that price. I would be happy to pay £180.
I've seen an RTX 2080 for £300 so rather check the market out and see what the second hand pricing is before you commit.
where Is the best place to look as I was told the bay Is a big no no thanks.
