Considering that the 2080 Ti is 25-30% faster than my GPU, I am OK until the new CPUs and GPUs come out, then I will plan an upgrade after reading the reviews. So I am just diving into this today for the first time and was closely watching his video and taking notes. Of all of settings he mentioned up front that he would touch on, I did not see him come back to Bloom, Reflections, or Trees. Then, at just past the 18:45 mark in the video he mentions the 3800 CPU and states "remember we turned off half of them right now". Cores? Never saw that earlier in the video. What did he do to accomplish that? And why? I am running Intel, not AMD (specs in signature).

He was using AMD lingo that I am not familiar with though. Ryan

Is there a consensus on HT with MSFS? I noted in two other videos high usage on a particular core and the cores were not the same with those two systems. How can that be adjusted?

August 26, 20205 yr MSFS uses (mostly) 8 threads, but other logical cores are useful for background processes. The guy in the video was using a 16 core / 32 thread processor, so it makes sense to disable the SMP there. I would not recommend to disable HT / SMP with less than a 10 cores CPU. Bloom, reflections and depth of field have no performance impact on the CPU. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
