The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) 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 65 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 49 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 49 | 65 |
| 1440p | 29 | 61 |
| 4K | 17 | 39 |
At 1080p expect around 65 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 39 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
