Best Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 settings for the Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 runs at roughly 8 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 3FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB 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 a real challenge at 1080p — about 8 FPS with 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 8 FPS at 1080p and 5 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 3 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB 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.
