Skytech Chronos vs Skytech Shiva for MSFS: Shiva's 7.2-point edge makes it the clear pick for serious sim pilots.
The Shiva scores 61.2/100 against the Chronos's 54/100 — a 7.2-point gap that translates to noticeably tighter frame times when MSFS is working hardest. The Chronos holds its own on light VFR cross-country legs over low-density terrain where neither the i5-13400F nor RTX 4060 are bottlenecked. The Shiva's i5-13600KF and RTX 4060 Ti pull ahead where it counts: dense photogrammetry approaches into EGLL or JFK with live AI traffic loaded, and VR city flyovers where the extra VRAM headroom on the 4060 Ti keeps frame pacing consistent.
