    The 6600XT is an overlay mistake, it was overridden for our 6600XT testing and was not changed immediately, apologies for that. All the tests were done on the 1660 Ti.

    When I watched this video, I thought of yet another video out of the dozen I watched on the same subject (with no noticeable changes and often very complicated settings). I still applied the settings which for the most part were higher (extra) than mine (high / medium / extra). My graphics card is an Asus 3070, CPU i5-9600k @ 5.0 mhz, Mem 32k 3200, TV LG 42 "1080p, VR reverb G2 headset. FOR THE FIRST TIME in a year I have had excellent results. (Screen & VR) Even over London, Brussels and N-Y..... Thank you, a thousand times thank you for this excellent video.

    Doesn't it make more sense to start from the Low Preset and turning the settings up one by one? If you start with the Ultra preset, you may turn one setting down and see no FPS difference because the FPS is limited by another "ultra" setting.

    I have a 3080ti, i9-9900k 32gb ddr4-4000mhz ram. I don’t even run everything on ultra, rather a mix of ultra, high, and even medium. I don’t even turn on vsync. or else my frames drop even lower. Even with my specs and lowered graphics, I only get 45 fps when flying in the air and 30 fps when on the ground. God forbid I try to fly over NYC. My game also crashes randomly at times which just bugs me on. I do get a “limited by mainthread” message on the fps counter thing. Any suggestions on what I should do? Is there anything I can do at all?

    Although not expected, the TAA anti aliasing setting and many other settings in your video that were set on Ultra appeared to be consistently better than all of the other setting (when comparing all 4) with the average fps firmly outdoing many other averages - yet you ended up recommending the FXAA setting in the case of anti-aliasing and low or medium on other features. That didn't make sense when comparing each on a like for like system (i.e. all four were running on the same system). Other than that, thanks for a great video! As expected, clouds have a huge hit, but they add to the realism.

As for your explanation of each setting, I think the video is worth it and better explained than Microsoft help for each setting.

    Unfair comparison - the one with the double FPS at the end is an Nvidia GTX 1660 TI whereas the one running ultra settings is a RX 6600XT (according to the overlay at the top of the screen). Why couldn't you have done this properly if you went to the effort of putting this video together?

    I don’t understand your conclusions in a lot of cases. Take all of the following Windscreen Effects, Ambient occlusion, Reflections, light shafts - looking at the FPS you show in the video, In all those cases Ultra had the best FPS for current/1%/0.1% of all the settings. But you still choose low. That seems odd to choose low if ultra is better quality and better frame rates. And logically ultra being best makes no sense. Are the frame rates above the correct settings?

    It's a flight sim. They don't need high frame rates for an optimal experience. 30 fps should be the target to be maintained. Also making sure that your monitor is syncing with the frames so there's no tearing which really degrades the experience more than anything. Your system will run this sim beautifully but shoot for the best quality while maintaining that 30 fps.

No matter what you do, Microsoft flight simulator always designed it's game for future gen Gpu and that is why i didn't pay extra for the RTX 3070ti, 3080ti or a 3090 because no matter what! you will not be going pass 80 fps not even on the RTX 3090

    If you dont see it its fine, other have it their way. for me 30-40fps is fine when you are mostly flying very high up, like big passenger jets, but if you fly only couple hundred meters above the surface then its nice to have a higher framerate for sure to enjoy the flying by of the scenery and it also helps with keeping textures sharp as side moving 30fps texture appears blurrier to the eye than a 60fps one and so on.

And many of the low or medium settings suggested here make a huge reduction in quality. There are many recent videos showing settings for graphics that improve performance while allowing high TLOD , OLOD, super sampling, clean shadows etc.
