  1. So to summarise, no it won't be any good? Thanks for the replies Peety.
  2. So I looked at the specs for my PC on HP website. 300w power supply so I'm guessing that I'd need to upgrade that, what wattage would be ideal? What would you all recommend for a graphics card then to kick the gt630 out but still use all the other components? Would it be hard to swap all the gear from one case to another? I'm an aircraft engineer (mechanical though not electrical) so know how to handle tools but can't solder or anything like that... Pacotito thanks for the very generous offer but I'm in oz! Biksolo it is a GT not a GTX. Cheers for the replies everyone, Sorting it out slowly. Peety
  3. Davis thanks for that great explanation. The abundance of models numbs my mind so that really clears it up well. Cichlidfan it's a store bought one computer. Yeah I've read elsewhere that it sometimes isn't straight forward swapping graphics cards. I will just have to wait and see when I download it and run it for the first time. If it doesn't work as well as I like I'll just have put up with it or upgrade from there. If it's any comparison it runs fsx pretty well on reduced scenery and arma2 a tiny bit jerkily with a reduced draw distance... Thanks everyone Peet
  4. Cheers guys. So what would you recommend replacing or upgrading on the PC for starters to get it up to speed? Peet
  5. Tassel, Thanks for the quick reply. As I said I don't know much about computer so thanks for putting it simply for me. Could I expect a better frame rate by lowering the scenery graphics quality a bit, I'm far more interested in learning the aircraft systems and focusing on flying than having super looking scenery (although it would be nice). I tweaked FSX settings a bit and could run HD virtual cockpit aircraft at 60fps with a reduced visual quality of the scenery but was still quite reasonable. Yes I thinking of getting the x52 and head tracking if the game ran alright rather than a very expensive HOTAS. Cheers again Peety
  6. Hi guys, Peety here, first post. Just wondering if my PC will run DCS A-10c smoothly or if I need to update graphics card. (Sorry haha) I am not a computer minded person in the least but I think I understand enough to see that my computer meets most requirements to run it. I have a HP pavilion with windows 8-64, i5-3330, 8gb ram 1600MHz DDR3, 1TB HD and Nvidia GeForce GT620 1GB DDR3 dedicated. (Don't laugh at my computer knowledge or lack thereof) My question is how well will a-10c run on this system? What frame rate could I normally expect? Is the graphics card likely to slow up performance and is it worth upgrading? I'm not home for a few more weeks (on holidays) otherwise I'd just download it and try it out but I'd like to buy a Hotas stick while I am in the city but don't want to waste my time and money if a-10c is gonna run horribly. Thanks for any ideas, I am hoping I can run it reasonably well as this sim really appeals to me, it's so in depth I just know I'll love it (avid FSX fan just wanting more systems and more interesting gameplay) Also, is the saitek x52 pro worth the extra dough over non pro x52? I have saitek gear (pedals and yoke) and love it so will stick with saitek for Hotas. Cheers for any replies Peety
