KennVFRidr Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 ...and I know just enough to get into trouble, so any guidance is much appreciated. I'm running a Dell Studio XPS16, Intel Core i7, ATI Mobility Radeon HD5730, but only 4 gigs at ram at this time. I'm hopeful that with more ram I can run some of of these sim programs. My initial question is...can I purchase some of the DCS products now at the November sale price, then after adding some ram, set up and get started...or, do I need more computing power to get started correctly. Thanks in advance!! Kenn
T_A Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 HD5730 is on the weak side , but you might be able to get away with low settings. you can download the free base DCS World and see how it works for you (you get free SU25T and TF-51 ) IAF.Tomer My Rig: Core i7 6700K + Corsair Hydro H100i GTX Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7,G.Skill 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz Gigabyte GTX 980 OC Samsung 840EVO 250GB + 3xCrucial 275GB in RAID 0 (1500 MB/s) Asus MG279Q | TM Warthog + Saitek Combat Pedals + TrackIR 5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Buy 'em now and install them when you upgrade... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

KennVFRidr Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks for the advice...that was my plan...
blackbelter Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 It's the week of black Friday... Go get some decent graphics card and ram. Won't cost you a fortune but can bring your sim exprience to another level. Also, there is a DCS sale going on. Take advantage of it.
