Best Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 settings for the Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (2026)

On a Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 runs at roughly 45 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 19FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 45 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 19 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 45 FPS at 1080p and 27 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 16 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Extremely CPU- and streaming-bound; the GPU is rarely the real limit.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% 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.
Terrain Level of DetailLow+10% FPS
How much world detail streams in - the single biggest setting, and heavily CPU- and bandwidth-bound. High is a strong balance.
Objects Level of DetailLow+8% FPS
Building and object density - another CPU-heavy lever. Medium/High frees real frames over cities.
Cloud QualityLow+8% FPS
Volumetric cloud detail. Ultra is gorgeous but costly - High is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityLow+6% FPS
Terrain and aircraft shadows. High is the value pick.
ReflectionsLow+5% FPS
Water and cockpit-glass reflections. Medium/High is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionOff+4% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
Texture ResolutionUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
