Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is one of the most-anticipated flight sims in recent times. Having released on November 19, 2024, this title is quite demanding in terms of specifications, being more heavy on the GPU. If you own either the Nvidia RTX 4070 or the RTX 4070 Ti, you're in luck as you'd be able to run the game at some of its best settings. However, for efficient gameplay, we recommend that you tweak the settings slightly.

In this guide, we will shed light on the best settings for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on the Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti.

Note: The settings provided in this article are for PCs that have well over the recommended specs, particularly an RTX 4070 GPU.

MSFS 2024 runs incredibly well on the Nvidia RTX 4070. It reaches framerates of up to 70 fps with Ultra settings in 1440p resolution. We've turned off Frame-gen and V-Sync, and DLSS has been set to Quality. Being a powerful card, it can handle 4K resolution as well, but expect far lower framerates and some sacrifices in quality.

MSFS 2024 looks even better on the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti, running at Ultra settings in 1440p resolution.

As the graphics have been set to ultra, frame-gen removes very little detail, so it surely helps to turn it on.

These are the settings we recommend on the RTX 4070 Ti:
