FlankerMan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 What do I need? No VR. I was thinking Ryzen 5 3600 or i7-9700, but would Ryzen 5 3500, i7-8700, or i5-9400 do? And, I thought GTX 1660 Super, but what about regular 1660, or RX 5500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlankerMan Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 For the VRAM, is faster better, or having more? is 4GB GDDR6 better than 6GB GDDR5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintifaxl Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Get at least 6GB, 8 would be better. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a gaming rig (including for DCS) you'd want to go more in the opposite direction. i5-9600K is a great CPU for gaming in general, as well as all other typical home computer use. Stay away from non-unlocked ones because they have slower default clock rates and can't be overclocked. The 9600K is decently priced and has great performance. Graphics cards... Absolute best one you can afford. You're better off with a lower-end CPU (such as an i3-9350K) and a great card instead of the other way around.

I'm not inclined to think that DCS would be terribly great on only 4GB. The amount of graphics memory tends to increase as a GPU gets more powerful, and for DCS, you'd probably not want a card with less than 8GB of VRAM.
