The Sim Room Centerpiece
SurfThing Performance Max Golf Workstation is built for golfers, studios, and commercial simulator spaces that need a stronger computer for premium golf simulator performance. It is designed for demanding simulator software, 4K display setups, launch monitor connections, and smoother graphics during indoor golf play.
There’s a ceiling on what most golf simulator computers can do simultaneously. Run simulation software, manage a high-speed overhead camera feed, connect a touchscreen display, push 4K rendering at stable frame rates, and handle a swing analysis tool in the background — and most systems start to compromise somewhere. The SurfThing Performance Max Signature Workstation is built so that ceiling doesn’t exist.
The SG3-5802 is the flagship of the SurfThing desktop lineup. Intel Core Ultra 7 processing, NVIDIA RTX 5080 graphics, liquid cooling, and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity make this the machine for sim setups that put maximum demands on their hardware — commercial bays, dedicated home studios running professional-grade launch monitors, and golfers who want the best the platform has to offer, full stop.

What's Inside — and Why It's the Top of the Lineup
Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor
A step above the Ultra 5 found in the Luxury PC models, the Core Ultra 7 brings more processing cores and higher throughput for scenarios where the CPU is under sustained load — large course environments, multi-software setups, or any configuration where you’re running the simulator, camera software, and an analysis platform simultaneously. The difference shows when the system is working hardest.
NVIDIA RTX 5080 — 16GB
The RTX 5080 is the most capable GPU in the SurfThing desktop lineup. At 4K, it doesn’t just manage — it excels. Frame rates stay smooth under maximum graphics settings, complex course geometry renders without hesitation, and the system has headroom for whatever comes next in simulator software development. If your display is 4K and your expectations are uncompromising, this is the card for it.
Liquid Cooling System
Heavy sim use generates heat. Liquid cooling manages thermals more aggressively and more quietly than fan-based systems — keeping the SG3-5802 running at peak performance during extended commercial sessions or multi-hour practice blocks without thermal throttling or audible fan ramp-up.
Thunderbolt 4 + Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3
Thunderbolt 4 provides 40Gbps bandwidth for connected peripherals — launch monitors, external displays, high-speed camera feeds, and docking stations all connect with no bottleneck. Wi-Fi 6E delivers faster wireless speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi 6, relevant for online sim play or connected coaching platforms. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps wireless peripherals responsive across the sim bay.
32GB DDR5 + 2TB NVMe SSD
The same memory and storage foundation as the Luxury PC models, but with more CPU and GPU horsepower behind it. 32GB DDR5 handles multitasking without slowdown. 2TB NVMe stores your full course library, swing recordings, and software without requiring active file management.
What's Included
- SurfThing SG3-5802 desktop — pre-built and tested
- Wi-Fi 6E antenna (high-performance, external)
- Power cable

Not included:
- Monitor — pair with the SurfThing 23.8″ 1080P Touchscreen ($399) or SurfThing 32″ 4K Touchscreen ($1,299)
- HDMI or DisplayPort cable — required to connect to your display
Simulator Software Compatibility
The SG3-5802 runs every major simulation platform at maximum settings — tested and confirmed:
- GSPro — full 4K at high detail settings
- E6 Connect
- TGC 2019
- FSX Play
- Refine+
- Uneekor VIEW and IGNITE

Who This Is For
- Commercial sim bay operators who need a workstation that runs everything without compromise — simulation, cameras, analysis, and display simultaneously
- Golfers pairing with premium launch monitors (Uneekor EYE XO2, NVISAGE N1 Pro, Foresight GCQuad) where the computer should never be the limiting factor
- Home studio builds where 4K is the target output, maximum stability is non-negotiable, and the sim room is a serious investment
- Those running multiple connected devices — touchscreen display, swing cameras, peripheral monitors — who need Thunderbolt 4 bandwidth to do it cleanly
- Players who want the best SurfThing has to offer and want to be done choosing hardware
