Setting CPU priority for MSFS to High does improve the performance of the Simulator. Instead of using third-party utilities, such as “Prio-Process Priority Saver” and “Process Hacker” to change the CPU priority as reported in Post 714 and 726, Nicolas Bouesnard in France sent me a registry tweak that achieves the same result.
Here are the steps: Continue reading
Probably like most of you, I don’t deliberately overclock my computer even though the hardware I got are OC-capable. Normally I just leave it to the BIOS to auto tweak the computer a bit by default.
Surely this is fine as our systems can run to spec stably.
Unfortunately, no difference from other flight simulators, the MSFS 2020 performs better on better performing computers.
Therefore I lately further enabled XMP, thru which I got about 8-10 fps increase in MSFS by pushing the DDR4 RAM from standard 2400MHz to its rated 3200MHz. That’s not insignificant I dare say.
The “Prio-Process Priority Saver” that I used to set my computer’s CPU priority for MSFS to High as reported in my Post 714 no longer works after my computer’s firmware was upgraded to TPM 2 compatible, which is required for the coming Windows 11.
Instead, I am using Continue reading
Probably you have heard many suggestions saying that by increasing the CPU priority of a flight simulator from Normal to High, the program will run more efficently and stably. I found it’s true on P3D and MSFS in my case.
Instead of manually changing the CPU priority to High everytime when MSFS starts, I am using the following simple app to help save my preferences for good.
It’s called Continue reading
