ASUS ROG Strix GT35 vs iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i for X-Plane 12: RTX 4090 dominates, 14.3-point gap settles it
The ROG Strix GT35 scores 92.55/100 against the SlateMR 267i's 78.25/100 — a 14.3-point gap that translates directly to headroom in X-Plane 12's most GPU-punishing workloads. The GT35's RTX 4090 and Core Ultra 9 285K maintain locked frame times in VR over photogrammetry-heavy cities like New York and Los Angeles at Ultra settings, where the 4070 Super starts dropping frames and breaking reprojection. The SlateMR 267i holds its own on flat-screen VFR cross-country legs with moderate scenery density, and its mid-range price tier makes it a reasonable entry point if VR and maxed photogrammetry zones aren't your priority.
