Laptop advice needed

[Reflected]

Dear All,

 

I'm currently using a Dell G3 15 laptop. GTX1050, upgraded to 16GB RAM, i5-8300. It can run DCS OK, but it's really struggling with large number of units, as well as the Supercarrier and the Channel map.

 

I thought about upgrading to an MSI GP65 Leopard 10SE, that would also enable me to plug in a Rift S, because of its miniDP.

RTX2060, i7-10750H, and upgrade it to 32GB RAM.

 

Do you think it would be enough to run DCS in VR? I don't mind if some of my settings are not maxed out.

 

Thanks in advance for your input.

 

PS: a desktop PC is not an option as I move a lot.

The processor and Ram you selected should be *plenty*, and that will help with units, but the 2060 will slow you down.

Slow me down how much, and in what regards? What would be the minimum gpu to go for?

Why does moving a lot take a desktop out of the picture? It’s literally a small box and small tv. Any hotas bulk is the same between a laptop and desktop

Yeah , if at all possible , consider a desktop . If you must have a laptop , get a gpu at least 1 step up from it's equivalent desktop number . Say a 2070 for lowish eye candy . Also , pay cllose attention to cooling . Thermal throttling is a thing with laptops .

You may wish to pm Dudikoff . He seems to be the go-too guy regarding laptops . Bitmaster as well .

I wish I could but from time to time I have to squeeze my life into a suitcaise and board a plane. A desktop PC is really not an option.

 

So I better stick with my current one for another year, and buy something with a 2070 or 2080 when their price drops?
