0414 Wee Neal Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi, I run an i7 4790K with 16gb Ram and I use a Rift CV1. I use DCS 2.1 almost exclusively. The question is are there any benefits in increasing my RAM to say 32gb? I will be upgrading my MB and processor at some point, but not for a few months. With my upgrade I would probably go for 32gb.

awjudge Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yeah, don’t think it will make any difference with VR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javelina1 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm running with 16GB just fine. (see my specs in my sig).

dburne Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I agree, I am running a similar system in VR and have 16 gb of ram, don't plan on spending any money on more ram for this build. I will likely be doing a new build later on sometime in 2018 anyway.

Buckeye Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 See my rig in my signature below...I don't see a need for > than the 16GB of RAM I currently have. Like Dburne, I will likely do a new build in late 2018 as well...even then, I am unsure if I will go above 16GB of RAM.
