Can the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti run X-Plane 12? (2026)

Yes
~63 FPS at 1440p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti is a strong 1440p card with 8GB of VRAM, and X-Plane 12 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU it averages about 63 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 63 FPS with everything on High.

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

At 1080p expect around 103 FPS, at 1440p about 63 FPS, and at 4K roughly 64 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. X-Plane 12 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
