✅ Yes

1080p	35	65
1440p	21	60
4K	12	35

💡 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020: Often limited by the CPU main thread over cities - Terrain/Objects LOD are the real levers there, Volumetric Clouds the big GPU one.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 65 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 35 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
