I might take a look at the Dell gaming desktops for comparison. Look for RTX 470 and above. Your more interested in cooling the beast than anything else and Dell are good at that.

I'm not a great fan of liquid coolers and I suspect the CPU won't be a bottleneck or an i7 or an i9 should do fine. AMD CPUs at the high end have a very good reputation.

Win 11 pro recovery USB? Well I'd set up two in case one didn't work but a couple of brand name USB sticks aren't that expensive and they are very easy to create. If you create your own then you know that you have the correct information on the USB stick.

The i9 chips get extremely hot, liquid cooling is pretty much a requirement as very few fans can cool them effectively. If you can get a 13th gen CPU you can save money. I've seen several tech reviewers I trust say the 14th gen Intel CPUs are basically the same as the same 13th gen chip. The RTX 4070 Super with 12GB is the perfect card in my opinion. More than enough power for triple A games but not too expensive. My only concern is airflow through the case. That is basically a space heater. I would want more than one case fan.
 
I have an IBuy PC with the light show (turned off).
I left the plexiglass panel ajar. I also placed a 5 inch fan on top of the case.
I blows downward into the case. And I continuously monitor CPU temperatures.
If the PC came with a side mounted fan instead the light show view panel It would be fine.
Feel the metal grill at the exhaust it should just be warm.

My CPU temperature monitor is Core Temp (free).

TRS 2022 generates heat due to the improved graphics. Editing elevation and texture generates the most heat in my case.
 
I have one that is now relegated to other use instead of for Trainz. Be careful if you ever need warranty service.......I found them extremely difficult to deal with. The mouse that came with the set-up failed after just a few weeks. Call after call to them got me nowhere.....they kept saying that they would ship the mouse soon. I still haven't received it 2 years later.
 
Need to bump this thread. So how can I get more than 30 FPS in TRS2022 or is it stuck there? Only having 30 FPS might've been acceptable in 2001 when the original Trainz version was released but it's 2024 and that's not going to cut it. Here's what I'm thinking of buying:

Definitely getting tired of this happening. Look at how the tracks just disappear in front of me.

What do you expect when you hire jocks to drive trains? ;)

Disappearing and appearing track has to do the read speed of the drive where your local data folder is located and the type of track being used. High poly track will be slower to load. If you are nailed at 30 fps then check your vertical sync setting. It should be full or none. I run at none and have no issues with objects like track appearing in front of the train.
 
I have a 4-year-old Alienware PC and, although I only play TRS19, I get no stutter at all on my highly detailed route. I have had no issues on my Alienware.

Everything you said is spot on except for the hiring jocks. That has no bearing on my computer's ability to process information and load assets. I've got a SSD which is faster than a hard drive but slower than 2.0 NVME systems. That has a lot to do with it.

So I changed the vertical sync to none. While it has undoubtedly made Trainz run crisper and smoother the changes have not been without some hiccups. Now in some regards the stuttering has been lessened. However when suddenly changing trains over moving ahead at full speed to another location it takes longer for the route and assets to be loaded up. The driver takes longer when reading and getting up to speed in that regard. Perhaps that's the cost of doing business. The way I see it, this is probably my best option going forward so no changes will be made unless absolutely necessary.
 
If you have G-Sync, turn that off. Trainz does not work well with it and that can cause awful stutters. This is a G-Sync problem with a lot of programs and games from what I read.

If your Trainz version hasn't precached all the content you may have stutters and missing track. There's a way of speeding up this process by running trainzutil.exe

On the Launcher, click on Developer.
Click on Run trainzutil.exe command.

In the open box type in the following: (Two boxes open up. One you can type in, the other you can't).

prebuild --force --nofail

This will run for a very long time, so let it run overnight if you have to.

There's another thing to keep in mind. Since the assets are user-created rather than company-created, the quality and consistency are going to vary with some assets being better than others. Some tracks are notoriously over built and really cause stutters while others load up beautifully. The track you are using is quite old too, dating back to TS12. If this is your own route, try replacing that with some of the newer track that's available such as the track from trainboi1 on the DLS. This track not only looks more realistic, it also loads up pretty well.

What exactly do you have hardware wise at the moment?
