    Sorry if there may have been a duplicate thread about this. Whenever I play Microsoft Flight, the frame rate seems to dip whenever it wants. Sometimes it stables out at around 60 fps, but then the dip occurs, and it would go from about 50 or so FPS, and dip to about 18-23 FPS. My GPU isn't over heating and seems to be at around 78-80 degrees C with Flight. I feel like this a throttle issue because certain times I check TS, I would see dips to about 1200 MHz. Is also doesn't seem to happen with other games. Any advice would really be helpful.

    MS Flight is crap!

    It´s the same antique (year 2000) code as FSX, they just removed stuff, polished it up, and made it more GPU depended, but we are still stuck with poor performance, mediocre graphics, shimmer, stutters, autogen still loading in blocks (no alpha-fade) etc. etc.

    Turn down your settings, that´s all you can do.

    Well I think I found the issue and seems to have been resolved. On another note, I didn't ask for your opinion on the game. Also FSX was capable of DX10, and Flight runs at DX9 for now so I'm curious to see how DX11 will look.

    What are you talked about? MSF looks and runs fantastic!! The best part is that this time we get to buy what we want through DLC.

    What's your problem dude? Jeez, who put a stick up your butt? Also, MSF is free. You don't have to waste money on it if you choose not to. Again, I got my solution for the problem, now let this die.
