RECOMMENDED GAMING PC SPECS (Not Included)
Setting up a PC for simulation requires careful consideration to get the most out of your sim racing, flight simulation, or other immersive experiences. Key factors include visual quality, cooling options, and powerful components like the processor and graphics card. A high-end setup, such as a custom-built, liquid-cooled PC with an Intel i9 and RTX 4090, is ideal for VR, 8K, and multi-monitor setups, delivering top-tier performance and stability for demanding simulations. While this option is more costly and power-intensive, it offers an unparalleled immersive experience. Alternatively, an Intel i5 with an RTX 4060 provides a more budget-friendly choice, efficiently supporting 4K on a single monitor, though it’s limited for VR and 8K.
Once your PC is ready, install the necessary drivers and load up your favorite sims. For sim racing, iRacing, ACC, and Automobilista 2 are popular choices, while Microsoft Flight Simulator is unbeatable for flight simulation.
