ASUS ROG GT35 (Core Ultra 9 285K, RTX 5080, 64GB) vs iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i (i7-14700F, RTX 4070 Super, 32GB): 16.2-pt gap in MSFS
The ASUS ROG Strix GT35 scores 94.8/100 against the iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i's 78.6/100 on our model-derived scale — a 16.2-point gap that translates to a meaningfully different tier of MSFS performance across the board. The GT35's Core Ultra 9 285K and RTX 5080 pairing handles VR city flyovers over photogrammetry-heavy London with locked frame times that the 4070 Super simply cannot sustain at equivalent render settings, and the 64GB DDR5 gives it headroom for dense AI traffic sessions on VATSIM without stutters. The SlateMR 267i holds its own on standard VFR cross-country legs at Ultra-High settings and is the more approachable entry point for sim pilots not yet flying in VR or pushing EGLL at Ultra with live weather.
