X-Plane 12 — Head to Head
CLX SET Gaming Desktop – AMD Ryzen 7 7700X vs CLX SET Gaming Desktop – AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Comparing performance for X-Plane 12 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 55% GPU weighted
CLX Ryzen 7 7700X + RTX 4070 Ti Super: 2TB vs 1TB NVMe SSD — 1-point gap, storage decides it.
The score gap — 80.55/100 vs 79.55/100 — is a single point on our model-derived scale, meaning both rigs handle the RTX 4070 Ti Super workload identically in X-Plane 12. The 2TB variant earns its edge for pilots running high-res orthophoto overlays, multiple addon aircraft libraries, and World2XPlane scenery simultaneously without constant drive management at dense photogrammetry airports like EGLL or KLAX. The 1TB variant is the sharper mid-range value play if your sim install is lean and you are flying VFR cross-country legs or online multiplayer sessions on Vatsim where scenery footprint stays modest.
CLX SET Gaming Desktop – AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe SSD
Choose CLX SET Gaming Desktop – AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe SSD if you run multiple high-res ortho scenery packs and a large addon aircraft library and need the headroom to keep everything on a single fast NVMe without juggling installs.
CLX SET Gaming Desktop – AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD
Choose CLX SET Gaming Desktop – AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD if your X-Plane 12 setup is focused on a handful of aircraft and default or lightweight scenery, and the mid-range price tier makes the storage trade-off worthwhile.
With only a 1-point model-derived score difference, neither rig holds a meaningful performance edge at dense VR city flyovers or photogrammetry approaches — go with the 2TB build if storage value aligns with your scenery library size, otherwise the 1TB build is the better mid-range buy.
