The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super is a high-end card with 12GB of VRAM, and X-Plane 12 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 88 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 89 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 131 | 131 |
| 1440p | 89 | 88 |
| 4K | 51 | 67 |
At 1080p expect around 131 FPS, at 1440p about 88 FPS, and at 4K roughly 67 FPS with optimized settings. X-Plane 12 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
