iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC Computer Desktop SlateMR 267i (2024) – Intel Core i7-14700F vs Skytech Chronos Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i5-13400F
Comparing performance for X-Plane 12 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 55% GPU weighted
iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i vs Skytech Chronos for X-Plane 12: RTX 4070 Super pulls a 23-point lead that matters in VR and photogrammetry.
The iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i scores 78.25/100 against the Skytech Chronos at 54.85/100 — a 23.4-point gap that translates directly to usable headroom in X-Plane 12's most demanding scenarios. The RTX 4070 Super and DDR5 pairing keeps frame times stable during VR city flyovers over photogrammetry-heavy zones like KLAX or EGLL with ortho scenery loaded, where the Chronos's RTX 4060 and 16GB DDR4 visibly struggle to hold smooth reprojection. The Chronos earns its place only for pilots doing light VFR cross-country legs at mid-density airports on a flat monitor with settings dialed back.

Choose Skytech Chronos Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i5-13400F, RTX 4060 8GB, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD if you're a budget-tier buyer flying flat-screen VFR cross-country legs at low-density airports and don't plan to push VR or photogrammetry scenery.
The iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i is the clear buy for most X-Plane 12 pilots — the RTX 4070 Super and 32GB DDR5 give it durable headroom the Chronos simply cannot match in VR or dense scenery, and the 23.4-point score gap reflects a real, session-to-session difference.
