1080p	85	84
1440p	51	68
4K	29	61

💡 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Extremely CPU- and streaming-bound; the GPU is rarely the real limit.

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

At 1080p expect around 84 FPS, at 1440p about 68 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
