This official MS Flight Simulator PC is giving me the pre-flight jitters
Looks like Xbox France is doing a giveaway with the top prize being a PC modded to look like a cross section of an aeroplane turbine. The question is whether the system will actually run the notoriously intensive Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The original post comes from XboxFR on Twitter alongside the announcement of the next major world update for MS Flight Sim—one that overhauls France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The PC itself is actually up for grabs, too, the only thing you need to do to enter is follow and comment with the #MicrosoftFlightSimulator hashtag. Then just wait and see if you'll be the lucky owner of this ridiculous extreme PC build.
Jet engines aside, this PC comes with a tasty Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, though there's no mention of which version—whether Gaming, Master, Vision, Eagle, or OC model. That'll be coupled with a 11th gen Intel processor, the Core i7 11700K, one of the most powerful Intel gaming CPU's to date. So it should be able to handle the graphical intensities thrown up by MS Flight Simulator, although perhaps not at maximum settings at 4K. That game is demanding.
All of that silicon is jammed into a Z590 Aorus Elite AX motherboard, which looks to be totally encased for a sleek interior look. Though the image XboxFR posted with reference to the contest is only a 3D render, so the final design may differ somewhat. Here's hoping it comes out looking that sleek.
