Can the Intel Arc B570 run X-Plane 12? (2026)

✅ Yes

~79 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The Intel Arc B570 is a mainstream 1080p card with 10GB of VRAM, and X-Plane 12 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 79 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 80 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	80	79
1440p	48	64
4K	27	62

💡 X-Plane 12: Flight sim - volumetric Clouds are the heaviest setting and it is also CPU-bound over cities.

At 1080p expect around 79 FPS, at 1440p about 64 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. X-Plane 12 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
