Gloom Demon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) I am thinking of upgrading my current videocard (nVidia GTX 760) to either nVidia 1060 or ATI (AMD) RX 480, however, prior to EDGE, ATI cards suffered greatly in DCSW. Has this problem been solved now with EDGE? And secondly, how much VRAM can DCSW utilize, if playing on 1920x1080 resolution?

MegOhm_SD Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) I run a R9 295x2 and have never had any problems with DCSW over the last three years with any version. 1920X1080. To me, ATI cards "suffer greatly" does not compute. System is in Spoiler.

gavagai Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 prior to EDGE, ATI cards suffered greatly in DCSW. Evidence or source for this? I never had trouble with my old AMD gpu. P.S.

Gloom Demon Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) This is surprising - how fast people forget :-) Here are a couple of links I found: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=117402&highlight=ATI+hit+FPS https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=110764&highlight=ATI+hit+FPS https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=110860&highlight=ATI+hit+FPS https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91284 As far as I recall, the problem was due to the fact, that AMD cards where geared up for providing more support to DirectX 11 (or 10, maybe) while nVidia provided more even support for legacy DirectX versions. Since, at that time, DCSW worked on DirectX 9, AMD cards failed to deliver, while nVidia provided the expected framerates. This is one of the problems EDGE was supposed to solve, since it works on DirectX 11. At least this is my understanding of what was explained by the moderators. I am not trying to start a holy war or anything - just trying to figure out if with the advent of EDGE it matters whether you run nVidia or AMD.

fixen Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 When I just started playing DCS, I was still running a 5870. I can't remember ever having trouble with it. Only the particles were rendered differently on amd cards, which resulted in less dense smoke IIRC. When the gtx970 came out I immediately switched to that though, so it is some time ago.

Farlander Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 From what i've heard it should run just fine now that it's dx11... i heard lot's of complaints from friends in the old DCS versions, but now they're running fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastyBaiter Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 My RX480 works wonderfully with DCS in both 1.5 and 2.0. It was a hell of an upgrade compared to my old GTX 770.
