4K	23	60

💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 67 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
