Multiple cores are worthless in DCS and a 650 is a bit under powered as well.

 

Current system requirements are:

 

Minimum system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i3; RAM: 8 GB; Free hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: 2 GB RAM card, DirectX11 - compatible; requires internet activation.

 

Recommended system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+; RAM: 16GB; Hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX780 / ATI R9 290 DirectX11 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

Thanks for the advise, so, do you suggest me to only change my nvidia GTX650 for a powerful one ? Actually I run on intel i5 quad core with only 8MG ,since i installed the last dcs world update i run at the max and busted when i reach 98% capacity.

A good I5 and a GTX 970 or 980 + 16GB of normal RAM (PC1600 DDR3 is fine tbh) is my recommendation. My I5 4690 (not overclocked) is more than enough for DCS, BoS, RoF and all the various non flight sims I play. I'm GPU bound with my GTX 770. Depending on which I5 you have, you may be best off simply grabbing a monster GPU and adding another stick of RAM. An SSD is just a great thing in general. It won't boost your FPS any, but they work miracles with load times, especially for windows itself and flight sims.

Thanks for your reply! It Sound better for me, hopefuly, i already have the SATA SSD , I will follow your recommendation in that case, it's seem only a memory capacity problem cuz 8GB is insufficient and i must upgrade for a powerful nvidia video card.
