In 2024 and 2020, which components tend to strain the CPU or GPU more? Which type of hardware offers the best performance for MS FS without relying on controllers?

Consider adjusting graphics options to ease GPU strain or manage AI traffic, as these settings offer many fine-tuning choices. If you want deeper insights, review the benchmarks on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 performance testing and settings — we evaluated 23 GPUs, and the game proves even more challenging than its predecessor. Controller comfort varies widely; what feels ideal for one person might not suit another's hand size.

I wasn't aware 2024 came out recently, which might explain the limited participation. Perhaps concentrating on FS 2020 would be better.

I play MSFS 2020, it's a great game. It handles everything well. I use an Xbox controller since I'm just starting out.

The question highlights a gap in Digital Foundry's support for MSFS 2024 despite their strong endorsement of MSFS 2020. It suggests curiosity about why such a significant update wasn't included in their coverage.

It’s easy to push graphics to their highest levels in Microsoft Flight Simulator to appreciate its impressive visuals. However, this isn’t always the best approach—it doesn’t necessarily improve your gameplay. While high settings showcase the game’s meticulous detail, they’re not crucial. In real aviation, the focus is more on procedures and navigation. From above, visibility of the terrain disappears. Right now, I’m running MSFS 2020 because of ongoing issues; with an 8-core AMD 5700, 32GB RAM, and an RTX 3070, everything runs smoothly. You can also boost your experience using Nivdia overlay. If you plan to use certain advanced add-ons, you’ll need to enable beast mode on your PC. For large NVMe drives, increasing the rolling cache to at least 1GB is beneficial.

Your setup includes a strong processor, good RAM, a solid SSD, and a high-end monitor. Running FS in medium mode on an RTX 2080 should work well given these specs.
