MSFS — Head to Head
ASUS ROG Strix GT35 Gaming Desktop – Intel Core Ultra 9 285K vs iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC Computer Desktop SlateMR 267i – Intel Core i7-14700F
Comparing performance for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 40% GPU weighted
ASUS ROG GT35 (Core Ultra 9, RTX 5080, 64GB) vs iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i (i7-14700F, RTX 4070, 16GB) for MSFS: 22.4-pt gap, no contest.
The ASUS ROG Strix GT35 scores 94.8/100 against the iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i's 72.4/100 — a 22.4-point gap that translates to a fundamentally different MSFS experience across CPU-heavy and GPU-heavy scenarios alike. The ROG Strix GT35 holds locked frame times during VR city flyovers over photogrammetry-dense London and Tokyo with AI traffic maxed, where the RTX 5080 and Core Ultra 9 285K together prevent the stutters that tank immersion mid-approach. The SlateMR 267i is a viable entry point for pilots doing VFR cross-country legs at medium settings on a flat monitor, where the RTX 4070 keeps frame rates acceptable and the mid-range price tier makes more sense than paying flagship prices for casual weekend flying.
