PC for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Microsoft publishes minimum, recommended and ideal tiers, including 32 GB RAM at the recommended tier.
Documented noindex draft: requirements and configurations are sourced, but the page publishes no FPS without applicable evidence.
Resolved intent
Large airports, traffic, add-ons and VR materially change the workload.
Three configuration levels
These tiers qualify a compatibility envelope from official requirements. They do not promise a frame rate.
Configuration
€1,800 high-end 1440p/4K build
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D · NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti · 32 Go DDR5 · SSD NVMe 2 To
Editorial allocation, not a live price. Display, operating system, assembly and delivery may change the total.
Compatibility
- CPU platform: AMD AM5
- Power supply: 850 W 80+ Gold
- Memory: 32 Go DDR5
- Check BIOS, motherboard form factor, GPU length, connectors and cooler height before ordering.
Performance
Publisher requirements qualify the build but are not converted into FPS for this hardware without applicable measurements.
Goals available in the assistant: 60, 120 and 144 FPS (240 FPS remains an advanced filter). A goal is validated only by a measurement matching the game, hardware, resolution and settings.
Limits
- 4K depends on the engine, ray tracing and image reconstruction.
- Monitor and operating-system budgets are not included.
Large airports, traffic, add-ons and VR materially change the workload.
