Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 guide: Best settings for Nvidia RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a new flight sim published by Xbox Game Studios on November 19, 2024. Being a demanding game, it is quite taxing on the system. It is not just GPU-intensive, but it is also demanding on the CPU. Nevertheless, if you own either the Nvidia RTX 4060 or the RTX 4060 Ti, you're in luck as you can run the game at relatively high settings. However, we recommend you tweak the settings for an even better experience.
This article lists the best Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 settings for the Nvidia RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti.
Note: The settings provided in this article are for PCs that have well over the recommended specs, particularly an RTX 4060 GPU.
