In this video I have recorded a Microsoft Flight Simulator Benchmark for you in all graphics presets, as well as all relevant resolutions in Full HD, WQHD and 4K with the GeForce RTX 3070.
Please note that these scenes were recorded with Nvidia Shadowplay and therefore the real FPS value for each test is between 3 - 6 FPS more than what you see now. I also chose a very densely populated area like New York, and on top of that, I used an airliner for the test. This should mean that you can assume minimum values with the test results.
That means you'll have a lot more FPS if you're flying in a less populated area. You also get more FPS if you take a lightweight aircraft instead of an airliner.
I do not recommend making the textures to Ultra with GeForce RTX 3070, as the VRAM capacity may not be enough. If you take small planes and fly over small or medium-sized cities, you can even reach 45-55 fps with some Ultra settings.
The following are my recommended settings over small or medium-sized cities with airplanes like Cessna 172 Skyhawk or beechcraft King Air 350i.

In areas in which I have recommended two points, it depends on the situation where you fly or personal preferences.

I hope I was able to help some with this extensive benchmark. If someone has a better MSFS experience as a result, then the effort has been worth it for me!
