The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end card with 16GB of VRAM, and X-Plane 12 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 62 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 63 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 131 | 131 |
| 1440p | 110 | 109 |
| 4K | 63 | 62 |
At 1080p expect around 131 FPS, at 1440p about 109 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for X-Plane 12. X-Plane 12 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
