On a AMD RX 7600 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), X-Plane 12 runs at roughly 81 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 82FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 7600 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and X-Plane 12 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 81 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 81 FPS at 1080p and 66 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in X-Plane 12 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. 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 | 82 | 81 |
| 1440p | 49 | 66 |
| 4K | 28 | 61 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 7600 averages around 81 FPS at 1080p in X-Plane 12 — up from about 82 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX 7600 averages roughly 66 FPS in X-Plane 12 — a smooth experience.
Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Cloud Quality and World Objects Density down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
