Can it run
Flight Simulator 2024 is one of the most demanding games on the graphics card: a used RX 6700 XT (about $331 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1080p, and a used RTX 3080 (about $425 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1440p.

Smooth = 60+ fps · Playable = 40+ · Lower = 25+ · No = under 25. ~ = estimate; ! = less video memory than the game wants at that resolution. Native resolution, high or ultra settings, no upscaling. Estimates scale each card's 11-game average from the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026) by how demanding Flight Simulator 2024 is (formula). Prices re-checked daily, last ; Sample = PC Atlas catalog estimate, not a live store price.
Flight Simulator 2024 is one of the most demanding games on the graphics card: a used RX 6700 XT (about $331 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1080p, and a used RTX 3080 (about $425 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1440p.
For 60+ fps at 1080p on high settings, about RTX 4060-level performance or faster (about 60 fps (estimate)).
About 10 GB at 1080p, 12 GB at 1440p and 16 GB at 4K on high textures. Cards with less can still run it with textures turned down.
Flight Simulator 2024 is one of the most processor-heavy games we track. The fps numbers here come from a Ryzen 7 9800X3D test PC; with an older or budget processor you'll see less, whatever the graphics card. For this game, aim for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D or faster.
