When using a 16 GB AMD Radeon VII GPU, Flight Simulator used almost 10 GB at FHD with the “dense terrain” setting and a whopping 12.5 GB at UHD (3840x2160). The game seems to be able to scale VRAM usage as well. The game also demands high amounts of VRAM Guru3D reported that it filled up most of the VRAM in an 8 GB card (7.1-7.6 GB, depending on resolution). Intel CPUs seem to offer slightly better performance (5-10%) than their AMD counterparts, depending on the resolution. It seems to ignore multithreading, opting instead for physical cores. The key takeaway, as many of these benchmarks note, is that the game puts heavy loads all CPU cores. Papadopoulos also disabled the game’s Texture Streaming feature, which he said would land a massive hit against the FPS.
His rig, which ran a test flight at 1440p/High, used an Intel Core i9-9900K, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM at 3600 MHz, and an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti. John Papadopoulos at Dark Side of Gaming claims Microsoft Flight Simulator is the “new Crysis” of the PC world. However, moving into the cockpit tanked the FPS to 38, and landing using the exterior camera managed 37 FPS. The rig managed an average of 65 FPS when cruising at high altitude and using the exterior camera. The game was tested at 1440p (2560x1440) with the High preset. PCGamer’s benchmark used an Intel Core i7-9700K, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM at 2666 MHz. The best AMD GPU tested, the Radeon VII, managed 44 FPS in the same benchmark. Guru3D’s 1080p/Ultra benchmark managed an average of 51 FPS using an eight-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The main issue seems to be that the game is heavily CPU-bound even high-end silicon like the Intel Core i9 9900K or the AMD RyXT work hard to approach the 60 FPS threshold.
ZEN BOUND VIRTUAL REALITY FULL
Initial benchmarks and reviews of the game are in, and many landed at the same destination: Microsoft Flight Simulator is an extremely demanding game that struggles to hit 60 FPS, even at Full HD (1920x1080). Those hoping to virtually smoothly cruise at 10,000 feet in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 may be sorely disappointed.
