Skytech's Shadow 5: an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (Zen 5, 8C/16T), an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, 16GB of DDR5-6000, a 1TB SSD, a 360mm liquid cooler and a 750W Gold power supply. The RTX 5060 Ti is a faster card than the RTX 5060 in our standard tower, with twice the video memory, and it runs SkyTrak's Windows app, E6 Connect and GSPro at 1080p to 1440p with room to spare. Memory is the catch. 16GB is GSPro's own figure for 1080p, with nothing to spare, and it falls short of the 32GB GSPro lists for 4K, the 24GB E6 (2026) asks for and the 32GB Uneekor asks for. On a 4K projector it still renders GSPro below native resolution; GSPro asks for an RTX 3080 or better there. At about $1,900 it costs about $700 more than the Skytech Ryzen 7 5700, which has an RTX 5060 and 32GB.
Compare with
How it stacks up against the closest alternatives.
Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Recreational Player
The RTX 5060 Ti runs SkyTrak's Windows app, E6 Connect and GSPro at 1080p to 1440p with headroom. Its 16GB of RAM is enough for one sim at a time; with the sim, the launch monitor's app and a swing camera open together, 32GB has more room.
- Performance Seeker
A faster card than the RTX 5060 for GSPro at 1440p. It is still short of what the performance stacks ask for: the RTX 5070 Foresight Premier lists for Medium, Uneekor's RTX 4070 Ti and 32GB, and GSPro's RTX 3080 and 32GB for 4K. For those, the Skytech King 95.
- Cost-Effective Buyer
About $1,900, about $700 more than the Skytech Ryzen 7 5700 (RTX 5060, 32GB). The extra buys a faster graphics card and CPU, not memory: it has half the RAM. The cost-effective case depends on catching it discounted.
Not for
- Showroom
Functional Skytech case with mesh and RGB; doesn't fit an editorial sim room aesthetic.
- Space-Constrained
Mid-tower needs a permanent home with airflow clearance.
- Family Setup
Loud under load; a quieter mini PC makes more sense in a shared room.
