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.

Choose Skytech Chronos Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i5-13400F, RTX 4060 8GB, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD if you fly primarily medium-altitude VFR routes over low-density scenery and are on a tight budget with no near-term plans to push photogrammetry or VR.

Skytech Shiva Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i5-13600KF, RTX 4060 Ti, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD

Our take:

The Shiva leads by 7.2 points and wins in every MSFS scenario that actually stresses the hardware — buy the Shiva.
