Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/05/2021 02:27 PM [ 24 comment(s) ]

Welcome aboard Guru3D airlines, after an amazing start of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, we decided to look at the sim again in 2021 in our PC graphics performance and PC gamer way with 37 graphics cards. Surely a lot of bugs have been fixed, but has performance improved and with new hardware available, let's re-investigate.

I remember a few years back we would always get a performance uplift after every few drivers, maybe just slight but nonetheless it was still there.
These days ziltch, diddly-squat, nada de nada. :)

This game has pathetic optimization, no matter how gorgeous it looks...

GTX 1080 gets 41 fps in 1080p and an RTX 3090 53 fps! Haha, what a joke!

It needs DX12 and DLSS like fish need water.

Actually the optimization is fine. Shouldnt make uninformed, biased comments based off speculation.

Thanks for the review. Tried the game myself on RTX 3080 and uninstalled it ,within the hour. Not a game for me, not enjoyable at all for me and bad FPS . It is sad that Microsoft can not put out this game to run at least CPY full bore multi threaded, I think they should know how to set things up to work at it's best on there own operating system

Too early to write it off. Its a WIP (work in progress) with DX12 later coming to the game. As to how that may improve performance remains to be seen.
