Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 guide: Best settings for Nvidia RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a new flight simulator game published by Xbox Game Studios on November 19, 2024. The title is quite demanding, so you are recommended to run it on a PC that at least meets the minimum requirements. If you own either the RTX 3060 or the RTX 3060 Ti, you're in luck, as you should be able to run the game quite well. However, to get the most out of your graphics cards, you are advised to tweak the settings a bit.
This guide lists the best settings for the Nvidia RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti when playing MFS 2024.
Note: The settings provided in this article are for PCs that have well over the recommended specs, particularly an RTX 3060 GPU.
