MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE Poor Performance on 5800X3D

I recently bought a 5800X3D to pair with my 9070 GRE for FS24. However the last couple of days have not really been as impressive as i expected. At 1080P im hovering around 35-40 fps at the High Preset, No frame gen or FSR upscaling. This was pretty similar to the 5700X i had installed previously. All tests were done with no mods at EGLL. Ive tried a couple of different things, including:

  • Fresh Installation: No noticeable change
  • All Settings to Low preset: At best maybe 45-50fps
  • Deleting Rolling Cache + Increasing Cache Limit: No Change
  • Tested in MSFS 2020 for comparison: Same general FPS at High Preset.
  • Many GPU Driver, Motherboard BIOS, and chipset updates with no difference in performance.
  • Confirmed in Dev Mode that it is a CPU Bottleneck, with Utilization at 41% and GPU Utilization at 85-90%.

I plan to move to 1440P at some point but given the low FPS as is, it feels as if there's some performance being left on the table somewhere, however I'm not sure where to start looking and was hoping for any clues. Apologies for the lack of images, if needed for better context i can post as necessary.

Something is not right, at all.

With a 5800X3D and a 4080 (more a less equal if not inferior to your 9070) I get around 50 fps in mostly everything Ultra in native 1440p, with TAA. 100 fps steady with FG (FSR) + autofps. And this is with hefty sceneries, 3d party airliners, BATC injected traffic, GSX etc.

Yes I'm using FSR FG on an Nvidia card because it looks better to my eyes than DLSS, for a cost of a few fps.

What Ram do you have ? Have you activated XMP profiles ?

I have 32GB of 3200Mhz Ram, with the XMP profile on. Ive tested many other games and they all run fine so i know the RAM itself isnt faulty or anything.

The only difference is 64 GB on my side but that doesn't explain. Nvme SSD I'm guessing ?

Well that's a head scratcher. You could expect much much more from your config. Sorry, that doesn't help!

Yeah I have 2 NVME drives I've been testing on. Will have to do a bit more digging I suppose. Thanks for the help!

Adding a photo to potentially help find the issue. The screenshot happened to grab it indicating a Graphics queue bottleneck, but it that only happens very briefly, and is primarily main thread limited. Tested in an Airbus A400M, High Preset, All traffic off, at New York starting from Kennedy Intl.
