I am a Mac user and will continue to use the Mac for content creation and my other computing needs. I am looking at buying a PC computer to solely run Trainz 2019.
Given the advance is computer components what is required to run all of the features of Trainz 2019 and what is overkill?
Processor (CPU)
Intel processors available include:
Intel i5 (1035g1, 2400S, 3350, 3470, 3470S, 4570, 457T, 4590, 4670T, 6400, 6500, 8265U, 9400, 9400F, 9500, 10210U, 10400F)
Intel i7 (3770, 4765T, 6700, 8700, 8809G, 9700, 10510U, 10700, 10700F, 10700K, 10700KF)
Intel i9 (9900K, 10900K)
It is my understanding that higher end processors may not be necessary and need liquid cooling that add to the expense.
Graphics Card (GPU)
Geforce GT 710
Geforce GTX 1650
Geforce GTX 1650 Super
Geforce GTX 1660 Super
Geforce GTX 1660 Ti
Geforce RTX 2600
Geforce RTX 2600 Super
Geforce RTX 2700 Super
Geforce RTX 2080
Geforce RTX 2080 Super
Geforce RTX 2080 Ti
My understanding is that to access Clutter Effect and TurfFX one needs a NIVIDIA Geforce card, but which one?
Memory:
16 GB
32 GB
64 GB
Most pre-built configurations seem to come with 16 GB. Is more necessary if one is only going to run Trainz 2019?
Hard Drive:
1TB SSD
512 GB SSD + 1 TB
Thinking 1 TB SSD would be more than enough.
The computer I am thinking of getting is an MSI AEGIS RS 10SD-014US
Processor (CPU):
Intel® Core™ i7-10700KF, Octa Core processor 3.8GHz
w/ 5.1GHz Turbo Boost, 16MB SmartCache
Memory:
16GB DDR4-3000 (2x8GB)
Graphics Card (GPU):
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER w/ 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
1TB SSD
Windows® 10 Home
Chip Set: Intel® Z490
Ethernet: 1x RJ45 Realtek RTL8125B 2.5GbE
Wireless LAN: Intel® Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax AX200 (2x2)
Bluetooth: v5.1
This may be overkill even considering some leeway in the advance of Trainz but I can get this in town as a pre-built and have service locally available service.
