Minimum requirement is 2GB Video RAM, but on my system it runs well with only 1Gb

[fjacobsen]

I installed CDS World 1.5 and did not note that the minimum requirement tells that I should have at least 2Gb video RAM.

My system has a GTX560 with only 1Gb video RAM, but seems to do fine. I have **42** FPS (EDIT: Just found I had an old Autoexec.cfg that capped FPS at 40 - without I see 78-80 FPS) with medium - high settings.

 

Any reason for the 2Gb requirement ?

Maybe the upcommin NTTR Map or something like that.

It might be barely enough for your setup however many users run DCS at very high resolutions, extra VRAM is needed.

Also I saw some guys making bugreports about there being no contrails and missile smoke.

 

Apparently they have non DX11 graphics cards. Lucky sods.. I bought a new Graphics card just to be able to play arena commander in Star Citizen lol! Then I found out some guy hacked the cryengine so you could play with a DX 10 card.

 

Its good that this game functions with less than required needs. Its ofcourse not "supported" but i am glad people with less powerful machines can play it. Look at the leeway they now have to bring the fidelity even higher still!

Hi fjacobsen.

 

This forum section is reserved for reporting bugs found in DCS 1.5 open beta. You didn't report a bug here, so this isn't the place for this thread.

Sorry..

 

But please tell me where to post questions like this inside the DCS World 1.5 beta forum ?

 

In the main thread I cannot post, and it also doesn´t belong in the wishlist.
