Best Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 46FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6800 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 46 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 76 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	77	76
1440p	46	62
4K	26	60

💡 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Extremely CPU- and streaming-bound; the GPU is rarely the real limit.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

Flight Simulator 2024 supports DLSS and FSR with Frame Generation. It helps, but remember the sim is usually CPU- and streaming-bound, not GPU-bound.

Texture ResolutionUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Terrain Level of DetailHighbaseline

How much world detail streams in - the single biggest setting, and heavily CPU- and bandwidth-bound. High is a strong balance.

Objects Level of DetailHighbaseline

Building and object density - another CPU-heavy lever. Medium/High frees real frames over cities.

Cloud QualityHighbaseline

Volumetric cloud detail. Ultra is gorgeous but costly - High is a clean trade.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Terrain and aircraft shadows. High is the value pick.

ReflectionsHighbaseline

Water and cockpit-glass reflections. Medium/High is plenty.

Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline

Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
