Muppett Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Hi guys, I am a helo pilot playing DCS (Black shark and Huey) and am about to make a purchase of a new motherboard, chip and RAM however wherever you look there are different bits of advice and soo many Intel chips to look at. So firstly has anyone looked at or used the new Ryzen chips from AMD - and if so are they performing well with DCS? If not what intel to go for? From what I read I will need to go to 16gig of RAM as well. My current rig is a good 7yrs old - Intel i5 2500K (Sandybridge) Socket 1155 on a Gigabyte Z68P motherboard with 8gig of DD3 memory. My graphics are running a GTX 780. I know this will need upgrading eventually but one step at a time. The system is pushing a monitor at 1920 x 1200. The system does run DCS and does it OK but I hate turning settings down. I have close to £500 to play with. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
