Is this Upgrade worth it?

[TaktLwG 73 Steinhoff]

Hello guys,

 

this is my Computer atm:

i5-4460 (3.2GHz)

GTX 750 2GB

8GB DDR3

 

and i want to upgrade to a RX480 (4GB or 8GB what's better for the money?) and to 16GB DDR3. The Rx480 costs about 250€ and 16GB DDR3 about 50€ (depends).

 

In the end, is this upgrade worth it? My goal is to play DCS and the new maps with good graphics at 60FPS (i had to disable grass at my computer, because it hits the FPS too much, and i'd like to see some grass on the taxiway)

 

Thank you for your answers:)

Thats sounds like a pretty good upgrade to me. The 16 gb of ram will certainly help you out. Also the graphics card is very respectable. After a short read I would personally recommend the 8gb version as that will boost it up to be on par with the gtx 970. Now I don't know your financial position nor do I really care however I would look into the possibility of an nvidia Gpu as they are often better supported. But they do cost more so you should find a balance. Best of luck and enjoy the grassy fields ahead.

More RAM and VRAM are both very good for DCS so I would agree that it is a reasonable upgrade. Go for the 8GB GPU, it is worth the extra expense.
