Thanks for reading this question.
As titled but with some more details to ask:
NON-VR-Does NEXT support 4K resolutions and fullscreen at 120FPS (or higher)?
As well as does it support 1080p fullscreen at 120FPS (or higher)
Gaming monitors 144-200Hz etc.
VSYNC-
Can you suggest a rough estimate of what level of GPU is needed to support both of these modes with full smoothness and max settings?

Also- for VR roughly what level of GPU should be used for a best as possible VR experience?

A lot of people say "NEXT doesn't need much" so with that in mind I am asking what is expected for the best and high end experiences possible with NEXT.
Thank you.

Hang on a sec.

Yes, the simulator supports all resolutions supported by your system. A GeForce 3070 already works very well in 4K with 120 FPS. I recommend for VR a GeForce 3080 or GeForce 4080 (or faster).

However, you don't need more than 60 FPS. You always have to remember that we are simulating real life. And in real life you have a transmitter that sends the control signal to a model at less than 60 packets per second. So we shouldn't simulate a much better sense of control than in real life.

The fastest transmitter sends the data packets to the model every 11 ms. However, the typical speed is 20+ ms. While the simulator is running at 60 frames per second, the send rate would be 16.6 ms. If the simulator runs at 120 frames per second, you would need a packet every 8.3 seconds. I don't know a transmitter with this send rate.
