Can the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super run X-Plane 12? (2026)

✅ Yes

~80 FPS at 4K with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super is a high-end card with 16GB 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 80 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 60 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	131	131
1440p	106	104
4K	60	80

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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 131 FPS, at 1440p about 104 FPS, and at 4K roughly 80 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for X-Plane 12. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
