Microsoft Flight Simulator

Measured data for Microsoft Flight Simulator pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. The combination produces average FPS ranging from 142.2 at 1920x1080 Low down to 43.5 at 3840x2160 Ultra, and it ranks 708th out of 1795 tested combos in this game. The data shows a consistent pattern: lower resolutions and lower presets raise average FPS, while the highest resolution and strongest preset produce the heaviest workload.

Resolution Scaling

At every preset, average FPS declines as resolution moves from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 to 3840x2160. The Low preset falls from 142.2 to 112.1 to 83.4. Medium falls from 108.4 to 92 to 62.3. High falls from 85.8 to 65.9 to 48.5. Ultra falls from 78.4 to 63.1 to 43.5.

The ordering is fully consistent: 1920x1080 is the fastest resolution at every settings level, and 3840x2160 is the slowest. Even Low, the least demanding preset in the dataset, drops from 142.2 to 83.4 when moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. That means pixel output remains a major factor even when the graphics load is reduced. The data does not show a flat frame rate at lower resolutions, which would indicate a strict CPU ceiling. Instead, the average FPS continues to change with both resolution and preset, pointing to a workload that shifts increasingly toward the GPU as resolution climbs.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 708th out of 1795 measured combinations in Microsoft Flight Simulator. This is a game-specific result, not a raw component average. The individual components sit higher in their own database-wide distributions: the CPU is at the 75th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 74th percentile of all GPUs. The in-game rank of 708th places the pairing in the upper portion of the tested field for this title. Because the data is marked as measured rather than estimated, this rank is directly comparable with other rows in the same game benchmark.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070 Ti in this pairing is built on the GA104 chip with Ampere architecture and an 8 nm Samsung process. It contains 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores. The base clock is 1575 MHz and the boost clock is 1770 MHz. Memory is 8 GB GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1188 MHz and 19 Gbps effective speed. Memory bandwidth is 608.3 GB/s. The chip is rated at 169.9 GPixel/s pixel rate, 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate, and 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 throughput.

In Microsoft Flight Simulator, the GPU’s load appears clearly in the preset spread. At 3840x2160, Low averages 83.4 FPS, Medium 62.3, High 48.5, and Ultra 43.5. The same GPU produces 142.2 average FPS at 1920x1080 Low, showing that the card can deliver high frame rates when the resolution is lower. The GPU’s aggregate benchmark score is 30849, good for the 74th percentile. Its nearest rivals in aggregate score are the RX 590 GME at 30755 with a deltaPct of 0.3, the RX 6700 at 31112 with a deltaPct of -0.8, the Quadro M5000 at 31142 with a deltaPct of -0.9, and the GRID M60-1Q at 31220 with a deltaPct of -1.2.

Settings Recommendations

Using the measured rows as the basis, Medium is the most consistent preset across all three resolutions. At 1920x1080 it averages 108.4 FPS; at 2560x1440, 92; and at 3840x2160, 62.3. High is faster than Ultra at every resolution, while Ultra delivers the lowest average FPS at every resolution. Low is faster than Medium at every resolution, but it is the most reduced setting in the table.

For users who want to stay above the slower High and Ultra results while retaining a settings level above Low, Medium is the strongest measured choice. The data shows Medium maintains a clear average FPS margin over High at every resolution: 108.4 versus 85.8 at 1920x1080, 92 versus 65.9 at 2560x1440, and 62.3 versus 48.5 at 3840x2160. The measured dataset does not include minimum or maximum FPS values, so these recommendations are based on average FPS only.
