Am I the only one who seems to be experiencing slightly degraded performance with the last two system updates? Prior to SU9, I had managed to optimize my settings so that I was getting smooth play in VR, with more than acceptable visuals (dare I say, quite good visuals). However, SU9 seems to have borked that, and SU10 is not much better. The things I am noticing:

• MSFS is noticeably less smooth; there are definitely stutters that were not there before SU9
• The culling issue is still very much present
• Things seem especially glitchy when I'm on the ground; once I'm in the air, not as bad (but still glitchy)
• I was getting frame rates in the low to mid 30's; now I'm struggling to get frame rates in the mid 20's.

I really don't want to mess with the settings that I had dialed in, however the current performance is....annoying to say the least. Is there any hope that DX12 will be an improvement?

For reference, I'm using a Pimax Artisan, and my computer has an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, a Radeon 5700x GPU, and I have 32GB of memory. For what it's worth, before I used to be throttled by the main thread; that no longer seems to be the case. Now my CPU seems fine, however now I'm getting throttled by my graphics card. Although I'm not in a position to replace my GPU, I suppose it is worth asking if something like a 6950xt or a 3090ti would be a significant enough upgrade?
