MS Flight Simulator 2020 vs. Real life

Nvidia's new 2060 and 2070 should be enough; I've been shopping for a gaming PC and have a 1060 from 3 years ago. You can pick up a laptop in the 1500-2000 range with this GPU built in.

Don't they have recommended/minimum spec on the product? I haven't checked...

There is a fair difference between a mobile and full size version of GPUs. For the 2060 the difference is about 20-25%.

The 2060 laptop and desktop pack the exact same chip. Provided you can cool it well enough, you can just overclock your laptop GPU and get the exact same performance.

Thanks!. I am hoping they have a more concrete requirements spec by the end of the year. I cannot even find a release date but only teasers. I have a Dell T5800 in need of upgrade in the graphics department, but it's on great condition for everything else I throw to it. I come from a NVIDIA NVS310 so I have a good margin for improvement!
