Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
The Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition celebrates all the positive feedback, reviews and awards garnered, but it is also a “Thank You” to our fans – new and old – that have made Microsoft Flight Simulator such a phenomenon. Best of all, the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year Edition will be available as a free update for existing players on PC.
Available now on Steam.
Microsoft Flight Sim is one of the most heavily CPU focussed games out there and due to that, at 1440p, the results are just all over the place, and is something that changes run to run due to that huge bottleneck with the only real solution in this game being that you’d have to use a 5800X3D to ditch those bottlenecks.
At the larger resolution, the RTX 4080 does see some gains, but even at 4K, a 5% lead gives us the smallest uplift in performance that we’ve seen over the 3080 Ti. Again, CPU bottlenecking really does come into play in this title and it is games like this where the likes of DLSS3, that we’ll be looking at shortly, should really come into play and look to completely eliminate that area of bottleneck.
