    Hi, I have just had my PC upgraded with a 2TB SSD and a RTX 3060 Ti graphics card.
    Can anyone recommend some settings where the overhead catenary wires and supports don't flicker ?
    Have tried various settings, the graphics are all okay except the overhead wires. Would much appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance :)

    overhead line flickering will partially be fixed or smoothened out or whatever with the new OHLE rendering coming to TSW4

    Setting anti-aliasing to FXAA instead of TAA improves OHLE flickering but increases overall flickering so not a usable solution.

    What worked for me is dialing up the resolution. OHLE looked pretty good when rendered in 4K.

    And yes, as the previous comment pointed out, TSW4 will introduce a "smart" OHLE system that increases OHLE thickness so that it renders without flickering even in a distance. Will only work for new routes though, I believe.

    Sadly they didn't fix the problem of wipers thickening everything they touch optically. And the OHLE masts where basically invisible in the streams.

    Up your screen percentage. If you have the monitor and horsepower to run at 200% you'll see some reduction (at expense of FPS)

    Dave, just curious what PSU you have? I’m sort of contemplating if I can squeeze more life out of my potato by replacing the GTX1650 with a RTX (given the CPU will bottleneck it a bit) but only got 450w PSU.

    I’ve just upgraded from a 1070ti to an RTX3070 and it has made almost no discernible difference to frame rate/ stuttering etc.
    I get the impression the new card is lying down relaxing with its feet up while coping easily with everything my i5 4700 can throw at it, even when running with -DX12.
    The only good thing is that the 650W power supply still seems happy with the change.
    Now looking at replacing the entire pc, maybe to include something like an i7 13700k, to better keep the new graphics card on it’s toes and hopefully make stuttering much less noticeable.
    Any upgrade suggestions would be very welcome.

    The I5 4700 is a very old CPU and would have been a bottleneck to the GTX 1070Ti let alone the RTX 3070. A good CPU upgrade will make a huge difference, as Train Sim World is a CPU intensive game like most simulators.

    4k likely your answer.

    Im on same rig set up and i can play an older route fine, newer ones heat my room up nicely. Im at 1440, all setting at ultra except sky which i run at high. This gives me 45-90fps on all routes.
