💡 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Extremely CPU- and streaming-bound; the GPU is rarely the real limit.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 58 FPS, at 1440p about 35 FPS, and at 4K roughly 20 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.
