You are correct snowbear. My brother in law bought 2 of the SFF machines and gave me one. He gave the other to his son who does play fortnight with no problems as per the in- law. I think that's where he misunderstood how demanding of a platform that DCS demands. I was running DCS on low settings on a gtx 970 and later gtx 1050 with the old DELL. I have actually been doing ground attack and some bomber escort P-51 missions on the SFF. Not ideal but flyable.

Exactly Sharpe, heck I stay confused enough as it is!! I can watch or listen to one conversation or video and think I get an idea of the scope and watch another that is saying no way this or that setup will run it..

Ok Thanks to all of you for replying. I have an older i3 Dell full size case that i was running on and had been wanting to upgrade that system. A family member caught these units on sell so he grabbed up a couple of them. He just doesn't have the full understanding of just how demanding DCS is. Anyway Thanks to all and I'm going to drag out the old system and have a go at it. I didn't want to start throwing good money after bad investment on the new system, but never to old to learn and sometimes you just have to ask! Thanks again Guys

Hey Guys, I was gifted a new Desk Top for Christmas. Here are the specs." HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF- intel core- 9th Gen-i5-9600-256 GB SSD-16GB Ram-3.1 GHz- Intel UHD 630- Win 10". I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out exactly which Gpu upgrade for this desktop. It's nearly impossible to fly let alone dogfight with any clarity at all even at low default settings. I'm afraid if I can't get something figured out I'm just going to uninstall DCS and move on to something different, whatever that might be. This is just a hobby but its getting so frustrating and I don't have the funds to spend on an expensive GPU when I'm not sure it would even solve the issues. ALL of you guys are way above me on PC specs and Hardware specs than I will ever be. Kinda getting on up in age ,lol.Checking my Fps and was getting at max 11 FPS with everything turned off or lowest setting. Help me out guys!!
