Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is well above Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's recommended spec. We estimate ~92 fps at 1080p high (range 74–111, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~65 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 157 | 110 | 66 |
| medium | 120 | 84 | 50 |
| high | 92 | 65 | 39 |
| ultra | 74 | 52 | 31 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB back.
- Processor needed for ~92 fps: Ryzen 3 3300X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 2700X): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 92.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB: 16 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024; usually the cheapest.
