Black_Dynamite Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi, I'm in the process of building a new rig and on a Uni-student budget. I could get a beefy card if necessary, like a 390x. But I really don't want to spend that many Euros. So here is my question: How does the GTX 960 perform in DCS 1.5? Will I get solid 30+ fps on my 1680x1050 monitor with maxed out settings? Any experience report would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance and Cheers! :thumbup: - BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konovalov Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 At that low resolution screen the 960 should pair up well. Hopefully those with 960's can provide feedback.

Fig Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I actually had a gtx960 before upgrading to a gtx980 (for various reasons) but on DCS 1.5 in ran pretty well at 1920x1080 resolutions with high settings (DOF off). If i remember correctly i was averaging about 50ish frames. maybe 40fps was the lowest. IMO if you're on a budget, a really tight one, the GTX960 does the trick :) PINOY PRIDE!!!

MrChickies Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I currently run DCS with a gtx960 paired with an i5 4690. Game runs at 60 fps 1920x1080 full settings. Good card for DCS Regards, MrChickies Pulling 12G's Daily [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Dynamite Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks for the help guys! This really made it easier for me to make up my mind. By the way, I am planning on an i5 6600k... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 With my system, I currently run 1.5 with everything on highest settings, except DOF off. Cockpit displays set to 512 every frame. With my GTX 970 FTW 4gb ( core at 1460 MHz, ram at 4000 MHz ), I get over 100 fps fairly consistently. My vram usage hovers between 2.2-2.3 gb.
