MSFS 2024: Best Graphics Settings For Mid Range PCs

Today we’re optimising our graphics settings for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for a mid range PC build. We’re testing on an AMD 5600X with an nvidia 3070 which is running alongside 32GB of DDR4 3600 CL16 memory.

We’ll be running starting at the high end preset and working our way through the various settings available, seeing which ones are worth adjusting to get us some extra FPS without impacting visuals too much.

This video will mostly be testing in 1440p, but at the end we’ll also see how it behaves in 1080p and we’ll also look at DLSS and FSR upscaling.
