Can this PC run it?

Could this run MSFS 2020 on high settings?

I'd probably get 32 GB of ram instead though

FS2020 is notoriously hard to run at higher quality settings. I bet you can run it at 1080p high with around 40 to 50fps but I wouldnt expect much more.

this video shows a 12900k and a 6700 XT:
 

 

Getting around 60fps.  So that's decent.

What @Levent said. Asobo and making optimized game is like water and oil, they wont mix.

 

But yeah, i didnt know that PCPP have been pretty hard on improving these types of article, these were horribly made back then. It was pretty much 70% of the way there for sub 1k build.

$53 for 16GB of RAM is bad in 2023.  That should be like $35.

You can get 32GB for $58.

Yeah 3600C16 is pretty shit in pricing still. But i was pretty sleepy when making it, bordering on passout.

No worries, the 3600 cl18 vs 3200 cl16 ends up being pretty much meaningless for performance, especially when tiny differences in CPU performance that probably wouldn;t even show up in a synthetic bench are extra meaningless when you're GPU bound in a game.
