Winterz Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello everyone, It's been alomst a year since I stopped DCS because of poor performances. Im now considering to get back into it and to upgrade my actual config. But well, Im a complete noob when it comes to hardware, what should I change to be able to enjoy DCS at max graphics settings? :noexpression: My actual PC config: Intel Core i7 4790 Kingston DDR3 2 x 8 Go 1600 MHz HyperX FURY BLACK CAS10 MSI Z97 GAMING 5 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Gaming WindForce 3X - 4 Go Thanks in advance guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revox Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi, I am in the same position. I have not been on Dcs for months. Multiplayer is my preference, which is even more demanding on RAM. I have been doing some research and am thinking along these lines. i5 9600 Asus ZA370 motherboard 32 GB Ram (16 ok if not doing multiplayer) An SSD nvme 500gb for dcs (250gb is plenty) western digital probably. My case and psu I will reuse as they are more than up to spec. My real issue is the graphics card. The costs as a proportion of the rest of the kit is so crazy compared to a few years ago due to all the demand from bitcoin miners. Many dcs posts talk about 1080 or 2080 cards, but I think I will have to go with a 1060 or 1070. Maybe stretch to a 2060 but not sure about 1070 v 1070ti v 2060. I will only be using a 4K monitor. If you want vr I think you need the high end cards. Be interested to see what you go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbik Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 GPU for sure. Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svsmokey Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 What display ? Resolution ? VR ? I certainly agree GPU , but further advice impossible without more specifics . Also recommend SSD if you don't have one . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterz Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Thanks for the answers guys. Yeah Im only playing in multiplayer. About my screen it's a 24", 1920*1080, 144Hz LG monitor. Im not considering VR at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Wait for jully for a cheap AMD 5ghz cpu and motherboard combo. You will still be able to buy a decent graphics card too.

Wexler Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I was absolutely alright with AMD,Rx 580 8g at 2K resolution. They have recently cut the prices, look for AMD RX 590. I would even suggest to buy from second hand. lot of these graphics for nice price. I preffer sapphire or MSI. Dont have experience with mainstream nvidia card. Also make sure you will have DCS on fast SSD disk or better M.2 if the Motherboard support it. Look for highest READ speed.

xoxen Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I´m running the same CPU but a GTX 1070, I have no performance issues, even at 3x 2560x1440. What are your expectations? With my setup I´m reaching around 80-90 FPS on one screen and app. 45 FPS on 3 screens with reasonably good settings.

Winterz Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I just bought a second hand GTX 1070 for a ridiculous price via a friend, I think I will stick with it untill I can afford a whole new setup. Cant wait to see how it will perform tho. Thanks everyone for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
