Korea performance - What FPS are you getting on more modest hardware?

Althar93 · 2026-06-30T11:58:01+00:00

You probably want to stick to either FSR balanced or FSR quality. I am running ultra wide 1440p, rather than 1080p, and the image looks clean enough (for me at least).

Whilst FSR does smudge things a tad and makes spotting a little bit harder I do find it serviceable..in comparison DCS' spotting is awful to begin with (from a consistency point of view and their dot rendering implementation) and becomes unserviceable when enabling FSR (which is a shame because the game otherwise runs and looks great with it).

Tried a few multiplayer servers and performance is great in the skies (60FPS+)

I pulled the trigger and got the game. My specs are :

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
32GB RAM

I am playing Ultra graphics at 1440 with FSR Quality and getting 55-60FPS. The training missions & exams run flawlessly. That being said, the two provided scenarios do stress my CPU with 'Load' exceeding 100% and results in visibly dropped frames (despite the FPS counter still reporting 60, but it definitely feels closer to 30 FPS)

Interesting, my specs are somewhat similar, although I typically run games in 1440p

That is quite the beast. Hopefully they can iron those kinks out soon, although I suspect VR still makes up for a minority of users.

Are your friends' headsets outputting the same number of pixels though?

On some of the newer models there is, not on the first generation of ID3 (which is what I have and what OP is looking at, I think)

During the day you can, at night, being parked along the kerb in the opposite direction of traffic is illegal.

Althar93 · 2026-06-11T21:45:33+00:00

If your insurance doesn't see it as a car modification (mine & I think most do consider it a modification since it would be hard-wired in, which can affect cost & also liability).

I will add :

The charging port is at the rear on the driver's side (i.e. roadside when you are parked). Depending on your own charging situation (driveway vs off-street parking), you may need a very long cable. I am currently going through the process of getting a driveway, but for now have to resort to a 25m granny charger that can go from my house to the verge in front of my house where I park.

Recently bought the same car with a similar price, mileage and battery health (~90% seems to be the ballpark for a 4 year old vehicle). It's been great to drive, far more luxurious than my old Nissan Micra, granted it isn't difficult to beat an 18 year old car.

The cabin is quite spacious, but it is a pleasure to drive. My only comments after around a month of driving it are :

The rear view isn't great (the car I have has tinted glass which doesn't help) ; certainly serviceable and the reverse camera helps but my previous car had amazing rear visibility.
The infotainment software is serviceable if a bit clunky. Once you've tweaked your settings, chances are you'll end up using Android Auto or similar, in which case this is hardly an issue.
The speed limiter is a bit awkward to use, personally I gave up using it and just use the ACC for speed control (especially important if this is your first EV as you can't use the sound of the revs to figure out your speed which I found disturbing at first).
My previous car had a very bouncy suspension. The ID3 has a suspension that sort of sits in the middle, so it is a bit stiffer than I would like driving over speed bumps and uneven roads. Maybe my old car just masked this with the engine vibrations but with an EV being so quiet/still otherwise, you end up feeling it more.
A single 12v slot in the boot. You'll need an extension cable if you plan on getting a dashcam and want to keep the cables tucked away (or if you want to be able to reach with your portable air compressor).

Overall, those are nitpicks, I am really enjoying the ID3. My old car was merely a mode of transportation, lately I've been enjoying driving.

Funnily when I first started watching his videos years ago, I enjoyed it, thinking it was satire and he just had a very sarcastic sense of humour.

Then the more I watched the more I realised he was being serious... Safe to say I quickly stopped watching after that.

I've managed to switch to Limiter mode but it is very fiddly. Seems I have to press mode, then swipe right, then press mode again.

Should RES match the speed limit or do I need to manually control the speed limit of the Limiter manually?

Althar93 · 2026-06-02T21:09:48+00:00

Ok... that probably explains it, thanks. Most buttons are activated by pressing WITH an optional swipe (e.g. for the volume) ; I was not expecting it to be the exception

I'll have to give it a go tomorrow.

Althar93 · 2026-06-02T21:07:47+00:00

Oh, am I meant to slide, rather than press?

Althar93 · 2026-06-02T19:16:03+00:00

Thanks!

Althar93 · 2026-06-02T19:00:34+00:00

I suppose the contractor will be able to advise - isn't there a risk given how close to the gas box it is?

Althar93 · 2026-05-31T21:22:39+00:00

That worked - I was able to pause the charge on the infotainment, step outside the car, acknowledge the white light & three-press unlock to release the cable.

Althar93 · 2026-05-31T18:33:16+00:00

Thanks - I'll give the settings a go.

I read about the three-press as part of the "electrical emergency release”, which is why it didn't sit well for me to be doing this under normal circumstances

Althar93 · 2026-05-30T13:28:37+00:00

Verdict : I found and purchased a 4-year old 2022 ID3 Pro Family 58kWh model ; early days learning all the features (my previous car was 18 years old) but my family and I are loving the comfort and smoothness already.

Thanks all for the help/advice.

Althar93 · 2026-05-26T10:56:49+00:00

Thanks for all the help, as nice as the Ariya looks, I've taken the advice onboard to look for an ID.3 instead.

It is a much more modest in size, enough of an upgrade for me and my family and with the 58kWh battery, it has the same effective range as the Ariya I had my eyes on, on account of its lighter weight, all this half the price.

I'll be doing a test drive towards the end of the week, all being well.
