javelina1 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 If you need to buy "now", go NV. I'm using AMD, and hoping EDGE will help once we get DX11 in the mix.

cichlidfan Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Since AMD doesn't make a 770 GTX, I would go with an Nvidia. Unless you are counting on EDGE, an AMD card for a DCS specific machine makes no sense at this time.

javelina1 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I just built a new rig, here are my spec's: i5-4670k Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 MB 250GB Samsung EVO SSD 8GB RAM, (now bumping up to 16GB) NH-U12S CPU cooler re-using my Xonar DG sound card Windows 8.1 Pro And I'm re-using my AMD HD 7870 GPU, as of now. Awaiting my Saitek X-55, so I'm currently using the X-52, (with magnet & tensioner mods). Combat rudder pedals, TrackIR5, 5.1 AV receiver.... :) Obviously, if EDGE doesn't pan out for the AMD's, I'll dump the HD7870 for an Nvidia... Which is too bad, it runs solid with a host of other games. But scan around the forum, there are a lot tweaks you make to eek out some performance. :thumbup: good luck with your build.

rajdary Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I am going to go for a 780 Ti, i think for DCS its the safest bet. By the way i also have a doubt, does anyone know if it will go well with an old i7 975 extreme CPU? Or this will be a bottleneck?
