Hi, seems ok for 1080p gaming or 1440p with DLSS. I would go for 32GB RAM also, because you’ll need the extra if using other applications with the sim.

What resolution are you looking at using?

Right now I’m using fun 1920x1080p is that’s what you mean. I also have it frame limited to 30 fps, but that’s because my current system is lacking but when I get that full 30 it seems adequate enough. Also my monitor is only capable of 1080p so I intend to keep that setting with any new system.
