Tinkickef Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Completely bare bones at the moment, but it has a pulse and is taking steady breaths. Was just going to upgrade the RAM, Motherboard and CPU on my old rig, but that would have meant being without it a long time due to my ridiculously slow internet connection, so I decided to start afresh and leave my old rig in full working order until the last second. Just need to pull the GPU. Currently running on internal graphics, so not much use for anything yet apart from the internet. The radiator fans have not even been spun up and the CPU temp is steady at 30 degrees! it must be gasping under the strain. Glad I did because I have started downloading 33GB of fresh DCS World and its been grinding away for 18 hours so far with a giddy 29% as a result. Some of that time was updating windoze though. Lots more to apps to download yet. i9 9900K Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Ultra motherboard. Thermaltake 360mm cooling. 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 RAM. Corsair 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD.

BitMaster Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Tinkichef, with such a slow connection, why dont you copy the DCS folder from the old PC to the new one via Gbit LAN and then run a repair to make sure all is in full working order ? You could still keep downloading the new DCS install while you could already enjoy your rig, WITH a GPU ;) There is no technical need to do it how you do it unless you personally want it that way.

Yes a few people were kind enough to offer this advice when I was weighing up which way to go with either upgrade or new build. In the end, due to past problems of being unable to recover the files already on my old rig after my original 2080TI blew up and I really made a mess of everything in my efforts to fix the BSoD, I decided to play it safe. I know it would be easier to share and copy files across, but I do not have the confidence to fix it by delving into command prompts and registry changes should something go wrong.:cry: I chickened out and decided to go the conventional way :noexpression:..... But if anyone asks, I will tell them I wanted a fresh install.:music_whistling: I got DCS World up and running now, logged in and am now downloading some of my more used modules. I doubt I will bother with Normandy. I will bring my ready made missions across however.
