Best Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 49FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 65 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 49 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 65 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 40 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS 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 DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+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.
