Gloom Demon Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Does DCSW use CUDA cores? Would buying an nVidia card in this case have any benefits over AMD? AMD Ryzen 3600, Biostar Racing B850GT3, AMD Rx 580 8Gb, 16384 DDR4 2900, Hitachi 7K3000 2Tb, Samsung SM961 256Gb SSD, Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X, Samsung S24F350 24'
GeorgeLKMT Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 CUDA Cores is a fancy name for what AMD calls stream processors. There's no magic behind it and no vendor-specific technology is being used in DCS. Only benefit is simply the fact that Nvidia has more powerful cards on the market right now. ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■

Depends on price point, the 1070 and up are uncontested, but the 1060 and especially the 1050 fall short of similarly priced AMD cards at the moment. But yeah, no issues compatibility wise with either AMD or Nvidia. I've used both brands over the years with DCS and many other sims, never had a problem. System specs: i5-10600k (4.9 GHz), RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 3200, NVMe SSD, Reverb G2, WinWing Super Libra/Taurus, CH Pro Pedals.
