The Intel Arc B580 is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 60 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 61 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 61 | 60 |
| 1440p | 37 | 61 |
| 4K | 21 | 49 |
At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 49 FPS with optimized settings. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
