MSFS 2024 SU5 Stutters? Frame Gen Wasn’t the Fix

After Sim Update 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 looked absolutely gorgeous - but at points the stuttering and frame pacing were horrible.

So I tested what actually helped using software settings only: Full Screen mode, NVIDIA driver checks, DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation, the Developer FPS counter, frame pacing, graphics queue, MainThread limits, and baseline settings.

The surprise? Frame Generation wasn’t the fix. For me, the biggest practical win was much simpler: Full Screen mode. From there, I looked at whether DLSS Quality, Frame Gen Off, and a clean baseline helped make the sim more stable - and whether some of the usual settings sliders actually moved the needle.

This is not a magic “copy my settings” video. It’s a real-world troubleshooting guide for MSFS 2024 stutters after SU5 - what helped, what didn’t, and what I’d try first before blaming the whole PC.

Quick takeaways
Full Screen mode made the biggest difference for me.
Frame Generation gave numbers, but not necessarily smoother motion.
DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation are not the same thing.
The Developer FPS counter is ugly but useful.
Watch frame pacing, not just headline FPS.
Not every slider gives a clean win.
