Limitless VR & Simrigs (Pete) recently revisited Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to see just how far the Pimax Crystal Super can be pushed, powered by the RTX 5070 Ti.
Watch the full Limitless VR & Simrigs video here:Pete's Hardware Specs: Asus Strix B860-I Motherboard, 64GB 6400MT DDR5 RAM, Intel 285 Ultra CPU, 990 Pro Nvme Drive, 700w Corsair PSU, RTX5070ti GPU
Why the RTX 5070 Ti Makes a Difference
The biggest improvement comes from the extra memory headroom. Where the 4060 would max out its VRAM quickly, the 5070 Ti handles high-resolution textures, terrain, and complex scenery effortlessly.
-
Terrain level of detail
-
Texture filtering & anisotropic filtering
-
Anti-aliasing
-
Cockpit and environmental sharpness
These are the settings that transform Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 from “great” to jaw-dropping, especially when viewed through the Crystal Super’s wide-FOV lenses and QLED visuals.

Benchmark Results
Flying over New York City, one of the most demanding test areas, the RTX 5070 Ti maintained consistently high frame rates while delivering crisp terrain and cockpit visuals. Photogrammetry areas still stress the system (as expected), but overall, performance was smooth and artifact-free.
Bonus: Enhance Your Realism
For added realism, Pete also highlighted SayIntentions.AI, an AI-powered ATC system that adds dynamic voice interaction and traffic control into the simulator — including emergency handling and AI-driven traffic injection. It’s an optional add-on, but one that greatly enhances immersion when paired with the Crystal Super.
