We present to you the gaming setup for 20,000 US dollars built by the GeForce team. Because it includes not only a GeForce RTX 3080 but also a lot of exciting hardware that is not exactly cheap.
Here’s what it’s about: The YouTube channel Nvidia GeForce (currently 1 million subscribers) has presented a gaming setup in a video. In addition to a gaming PC, there is also a setup consisting of multiple screens and a “cockpit”.
In the video, “GeForce Garage” demonstrates how to assemble a gaming PC with an RTX 3080. However, the special thing is not the PC itself but the overall concept into which the PC is integrated.
The finished PC is connected to a setup consisting of multiple screens and a kind of replica cockpit. Because the team then plays Microsoft Flight Simulator with it.
The instruments look like those in an airplane, and thanks to accessories, the chair under you moves with the movements of the plane. So you actually feel like you are sitting in a real cockpit.
But you don’t need a pilot’s license for that, instead, a well-filled bank account. What you need for the entire setup, we will present to you in the next section. However, the biggest problem may already be the graphics card, as the RTX 3080 is currently being sold for a high price on Ebay due to low availability.
If you want to build the system yourself, you need 20,000 US dollars
This is inside the PC: The PC contains an Intel i9-10900k, a GeForce RTX 3080, and 32 GB of RAM. The system is housed in a CoolerMaster SL600M. The PC is powered by an 850-watt power supply and cooled with a liquid cooling system from EKWB.
