August 21, 2025Aug 21 I've heard multiple things about the Rolling Cache setting in 2024. Read that setting it higher (100gig for example) was actually detrimental to performance. I've got 32 gig of RAM, 4070Ti Super, fast CPU. Any thoughts on what my optimum rolling cache setting should be? TIA
August 21, 2025Aug 21 My system is similar to yours. In 2020 I had to clear the rolling cache frequently to get rid of stutters, so ended up turning it off. In 2024 I’ve left it at default without noticing any ill effects. Unless there is a specific problem you are trying to solve, I’d just leave it as is.
August 21, 2025Aug 21 After hundreds of changes I now leave mine at default.

August 21, 2025Aug 21 Author Sorry - maybe I should have made my question clearer. What size should you set your RC to? And per the comment above, I'm using it on my internal SSD, so it should be plenty fast.
August 21, 2025Aug 21 I've never changed mine from default. One important thing is how good your internet is. I have a really good fiber connection that's 500 mbs (I could pay for 1 gig, but honestly, 500 seems fine for me), and I have had zero issues with streaming. Now, if your interenet connection is poor, there may be benefit to caching more, but otherwise, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
August 21, 2025Aug 21 I set is at 16GB on a fast SSD. Seems to do the trick. Not sure but 16GB might be standard I think. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I read somewhere that it is best practice to set it to twice the amount of your RAM. So I have it at 128GB. Edited August 21, 2025Aug 21 by Farlis

August 21, 2025Aug 21 I had mine at 128 for a long time and it made a huge difference from leaving it at 16 (Default) I have pretty much the same setup as you but I have 64 gigs of Ram. I am back to standard right now because I am having serious issues with 2024. Its easy to change back and forth so worth trying it. I would try 64 or even 128. Loading time is much faster and it used to help with stutters. Lots of changes lately with 2024, so I am no longer sure what is best. If you do try, don't just use random numbers. 16-32-64-128-264. You get the picture. that seems to work best. Edited August 21, 2025Aug 21 by Ron Lefebvre Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
August 21, 2025Aug 21 Didn't notice a inch of difference with 16, 64 or 128 or whatever. What I'm doing with this rolling cache is deleting it at each updates. Period. But after all, any advice on the size of the rolling cache should be associated with the setup of the users: Fast Internet? Fly always in the same area(s)? Fast local disk? Flying at high altitude? Only low flying? S.Wloch (Asobo) described in the February 2025 Developer Stream some technical background on the rolling cache starting approx. 1h17min: Quote If you fly normaly, around 3 to 4 Gb per hours are consumed Quote I've seen people setting 100 or 200 Gbs or rolling cache that gonna takes forever to fill up Quote 16Gb is the minimum, 32Gb is what I usely use, it's much better PS : I have a fiber Internet connection very reliable and (very) fast to/from Azure architecture.

That is also what I am seeing at this moment. That was not the case even 3 months ago. So many updates its hard to tell one week from another what you should do. And as you said, so many variables, it is hard to give a definite answer to anybody. When I first started with 2024 in march, the sim was unplayable on my system until I added 128 gig of cache.
