Exorcet Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 DCSW is free. Best you can do is download it and run it and judge for yourself. The MFD's on the A-10 and the ASM can eat up a little more resources than the free Su-25/TF-51, but it shouldn't be a huge difference. Fly a mission with the Su-25T using the TV screen with the map dotted with some units (or jump into a Su-25 premade mission or campaign) and it will probably give you a good idea.

outlawal2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) No, that will not run DCS.. Stats are showing Vista X86 ... This is a 32 bit system and DCS now requires 64 bit.. Recommend upgrading to WIN7 64 bit... Then should be good to go.. EDIT: I just saw that you plan to upgrade to 8MB of memory. Vista 32 bit will NOT recognize any memory above 4 GIG. Once again recommend that you upgrade to WIN7 64 bit (And then update your memory.) No 32 bit OS can use more than 4GIG memory. Beyond that amount requires a 64 bit OS...

ED Team NineLine Posted August 27, 2014 ED Team Share Posted August 27, 2014 I planed on upgrading to 64 bit ;) so after that it should run good? Thanks Yup, 64bit and 8gigs of ram will help, I dont know much about the vid card you have, but it might be on the lower end...

outlawal2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 64 bit with 8 megs you should be good to go.. The only thing that is going to limit you at that point may be your GPU as I am not familiar with that particular card... Others on the forum should be able to chime in and let you know what kind of performance you may get with that card... My guess is that the video card will be pretty weak and you will need to turn some details down to get decent framerates, but you should be able to find settings that will work acceptably...

canadabear07 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Would this psu http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BCKEL6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 be enough to power the new gpu and everything? and can anyone tell me about how many fps I will get with that gpu?

Thanks everyone! Should be Good. Peak Load for a System as you Described (AM3+, FX4150, R7-260X, 8GB DDR3 (Assuming it's 4x2GB) Assuming at least 2x 7200RPM Drives + 1 SSD, + 8 USB Devices + 1 PCI Card Peak Load at 90% would be about 375Watts, That would drop if it's 2 DDR3 Sticks and less devices, but only by about 25w.

Thanks everyone! No idea on FPS as it is dependent on settings etc. (And I don't have that particular card and don't use AMD cards in the first place..) I CAN say that the power supply you listed should do nicely for your system (At least based on what you have listed thus far..) If you are planning on adding drives in the future maybe a 600 would make you feel better, but as-is should be good) SNIPED:Skate FWIW I usually overbuy when it comes to power supplies as it is a REAL killer if you don't have enough power. Makes all kinds of weirdnesses and extremely hard to troubleshoot..) "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulres Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yes,It will run Okay,Next step should be another Graphics Card,(not a super one, but one thats better than what you got now) then Next is more RAM. Patience,Tinker with the Settings abit. but once it is done it will run fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience,Tinker with the Settings abit. but once it is done it will run fine. AM3+ and AMD FX CPUs is a Dead Platform, there's no point in investing money into it outside of small upgrades. with DD3 getting to 225% MSRP from what they were a year ago, I'd go with the bare minimum. (8GB), and not worry about it until DDR4 and the New AMD Chipset/CPUs in 2016.
