Bene_991 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Hi all! I had no problems running DCS 1.5 but 2.5 is now freezing sometimes. I do have Intel I5 3470 3.2GHz , 8gb ddr3 , Gt 1030 2gb. Do you think I could play 2.5 withouth freezes and lag if I upgrade my GPU? I dont need high graphigs, just smooth gameplay.

Recommended system requirements (HIGH graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 with 8GB VRAM or better; Joystick; requires internet activation. Recommended VR systems requirements (VR graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 64 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation. Upgrading your gpu will be good and will help, however you will still be using the minimum amount of RAM. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Demon_ Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 GTX 1060 6GB of VRAM. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.
Bene_991 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Posted May 3, 2018 GTX 1060 6GB of VRAM. So I would have smooth gameplay on medium/low graphics?
David OC Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 So I would have smooth gameplay on medium/low graphics? It would be much much better then what you have now. I would also look to get, if on a budget, to help "the rest of your system" to match and push the "GTX 1060 6GB" 16GB or 32GB of DDR3 1600MHZ RAM and a 250Gb SSD for DCS to sit on, if you don't have one now that is? This could come later, I still recommend it tho. :) The SSD can help with stutters too and make your load times much more bearable.;) Like BIGNEWY said, new cards out soon, prices could drop.... - i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Thanks a lot!
boscoh Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Add 8gb of ram now. It's cheap. Look into overclocking your video card for the time being. Wait for new Nvidia cards this fall. I run an overclocked Radeon 7950 with med-high settings at 1080p and it's 95% smooth. It's a better card than the 1030 but not too far off. If you add ram and oc, you'll have a better experience until fall. SSD is helpful too, but I think ram will help you most. 3800X, X570, 32GB 3600, RTX 2080Ti, SSD, Odyssey+ VR
