Can the AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020? (2026)

⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

~31 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 31 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 11 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	11	31
1440p	6	19
4K	4	11

💡 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020: Often limited by the CPU main thread over cities - Terrain/Objects LOD are the real levers there, Volumetric Clouds the big GPU one.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 31 FPS, at 1440p about 19 FPS, and at 4K roughly 11 FPS with optimized settings. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
