SurfThing's entry golf-sim PC: an Intel Core Ultra 5 225F, an NVIDIA RTX 5060 8GB, 16GB of DDR5-4800 and a 1TB NVMe drive in the compact case the whole SG3 line shares (8.1 in wide, 14.3 in tall, 17.8 in deep), with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, one 2.5G Ethernet port, Windows 11 Home and a wireless keyboard and mouse. Indoor Golf Outlet's listing says SurfThing installs and activates your sim software and helps with setup. What it clears, by our rule that a PC sits clearly above each vendor's published minimum: SkyTrak's Windows app and E6 Connect. Its graphics card handles GSPro at 1080p to 1440p, but its 16GB is GSPro's own 1080p figure with nothing to spare, which is why we keep 16GB PCs out of our GSPro builds. It falls short of Foresight Premier's medium tier (an RTX 5070), of Uneekor's software (an RTX 4070 Ti recommended, and 32GB of RAM even at Uneekor's minimum), of E6 (2026) (12GB of video memory and 24GB of RAM), and of Trackman Performance Studio, which asks for an Intel i7 or Core Ultra 7, an RTX 4070 Ti and two 1 Gbit Ethernet ports. On a 4K projector it renders GSPro below native resolution; GSPro asks for an RTX 3080 or better for 4K. The price is the catch. At $2,249 it is $1,049 more than the Skytech Ryzen 7 5700 at Amazon ($1,199.99), the same graphics card with twice the memory, and $651 more than the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme ($1,598), the same card and the same 16GB. Skytech's Shadow 5 ($1,899.99) has a faster RTX 5060 Ti, also with 16GB, for $349 less. What the difference buys is the software setup, the compact case and a builder that specializes in golf-sim PCs.

  • Cost-Effective Buyer

    $2,249 for an RTX 5060 and 16GB. The Skytech Ryzen 7 5700 has the same graphics card and twice the memory for $1,199.99 at Amazon.

  • Showroom

    An RTX 5060 renders GSPro below native resolution on a 4K projector and falls short of Foresight Premier's medium tier and of Uneekor's and Trackman's specs. A showroom room wants an RTX 5070 Ti.
