Sawamura Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 For weeks I'm thinking about to update my pc a little notch. I'm on an Intel I7-4790K @ 4.00GHz Corsair DDR3 16GB 1600-10 ram MSI GTX960 4GB Gaming and use a 500GB SSD where my Windows 10 and DCS are on. DCS 1.5 runs fine but sometimes, the fps drop, specially when recording footage with Fraps or OBS. To even that out, would it be smarter to get more ram or a second graphics card to have more GPU power?
Brisse Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Neither. 16GB RAM is more than enough, and DCS does not work well with multiple graphics cards. You will not see much improvement from any of these upgrades.
Drag0nWIng Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 16gb ram is enough. you should sale the 960 to buy a 970 or higher one.
piXel496 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Just to top the notch. If only recording then extra SSD else sell msi960 buy msi980 . old stuff I made

zxarkov Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I agree with the others, neither your ram (16GB) or SLI (GTX 960) would be a good upgrade IMHO. I would sell your current card, use that towards a better card. Also I noticed you have your I7 4790K @ 4.00GHz. I think you have a little more overclocking headroom to get the most power out of your system and for free. __________________________________________________________ i7 3930k @ 4.7GHz | GTX 980 Ti | 16GB G.Skill 2133 Quad Channel | Samsung 850 EVO SSD | Win7 ProX64 | CH Fighterstick | CH Pro Pedals | CH Throttle | BenQ XL2730Z 1440p
Sawamura Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks for the replies, everyone. I will give it a try getting the 980. :music_whistling:
