Interesting. I don't have that update yet since I've been away. See my other post about frame rate - hopefully I'll see an improvement using my i5-3570K CPU.

You'll definitely see a boost in performance. That was primarily SU5 updates emphasis.

Since the SU5 update performance was boosted quite a bit even for older 3rd generation CPUs such as mine (3770K). Currently on 'High setting' within the sim I can hold steady say over southern Ca. region 50-55fps using an LG 34in Ultra-wide monitor at 2560x1080p. See my computer for full specs.

I'm so glad I did not rush out and spend thousands on a new system. I was involved in the development as an alpha & beta prior to release.

We will end up overtime time with more performance/stability. Asobo also plans on bringing Direct X 12 api as well.

My frame rate often dipped under 20fps when flying low over a dense city e.g. London. After the last update I'm now getting at least 30 fps and much higher at altitude. That's using an old i3570K CPU and RTX 2060 Super GPU.
