Best Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 runs at roughly 63 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 36FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 63 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 105 FPS at 1080p and 63 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. 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 (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+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 DetailMedium+5% 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 DetailMedium+4% FPS
Building and object density - another CPU-heavy lever. Medium/High frees real frames over cities.
Cloud QualityMedium+4% FPS
Volumetric cloud detail. Ultra is gorgeous but costly - High is a clean trade.
Texture ResolutionUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
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.
