You already know this, but video games are evolving very quickly, especially at the technological level. To do this, manufacturers of consoles and PC components are adapting and creating machines good enough to take full advantage of them. But for now, the configuration of this game far surpasses what one could imagine for a video game in 2024.
A video game that requires an RTX 4080 and an i7 14700K to play on PC…
If the majority of games try to follow a minimum of the technical specifications of the most popular machines, others, more pioneers in the field, seek to push the limits of what is currently possible.
This is the case of Studio Asobo, affiliated with Microsoft, which is developing Flight Simulator 2024, the most realistic flight simulation currently available on the consumer market. This studio has a history of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in video games, particularly with its open world streaming technology, which literally allows you to travel around the world on a real scale.
For this Flight Simulator 2024, the Asobo studio wants to go even further by improving its texture and world streaming technology, which requires a lot of resources from your PC.
Recently, Microsoft revealed the recommended configurations to enjoy Flight Simulator 2024. If the minimum specifications only require a humble GTX 970 from NVIDIA or an RX 5700 from AMD, those to play in the best possible conditions are another matter. category…
Indeed, without specifying what the “ideal” conditions are for playing Flight Simulator in terms of resolution and refresh rate, the studio will ask you for a GeForce RTX 4080 from NVIDIA, or an RX 7900 XT from AMD, two very high-end models of graphics cards.
In terms of processor, Flight Simulator is just as demanding since the developers recommend an Intel Core i7 14700K or an AMD Ryzen 7 7900X… All this, coupled with 64 GB of RAM. Suffice it to say that the game is one of the most resource-intensive that we have experienced so far.
Very demanding technologies, which will not be available on consoles, even the PS5 Pro
Obviously, even if Flight Simulator 2024 is not planned for the PS5, players do not hesitate to talk about the technical specifics of the PS5 Pro, recently announced by Sony.
Indeed, seeing such demanding games, players ask themselves questions about the relevance of getting a €799 console when you can have a gaming computer. But obviously, the prices are not at all the same.
Tell yourself that an RTX 4080 from NVIDIA is a graphics card costing around €1000, and that an i7 14700K is placed at €400…
The PS5 Pro is certainly the most powerful console available on the market, now surpassing the Xbox Series games.
