I would say yes, the min/recommended/VR requirements are listed on the DCS download page

Hello jomar machado,

 

at this point I can report my own experiences. In my signature you find my acutal system. In the very near days I am upgrading my system to a Z590-Board with Intel i5-10600k. Because of this holysh** GPU-situation I will keep my RTX 2070.

 

You are right to buy a Intel-based system instead of AMD for DCS especially.

In my opinion your suggested GPU is definitively too weak for VR; for 2D at monitor it's ok. I would get more "headroom" for future VR, when possible.

 

Add another SSD for the DCS-installation (use the listed SSD for C:-Partition with Windows). This will provide you with huge benefits in loading time.

DCS World is a free download, the best way to answer your question is to try it yourself. Also for this week, all modules are free to try. You can download your favorite plane/map, or just the most resource intensive plane/map and missions as a stress test.

Thank you all for the help!

I tried a hand in the SU-25-T but I find the graphics too weak. Is it by the game or my 2060s?
Is there any more scenary/cockpit with higher resolutions and beauty?
Thanks in advance...

Your HW does very well for the 2D use, but for a VR it is good.

 

Just checkout the graphics settings that textures are high etc. No need to download anything extra for starters.

 

Edit: Some scenery texture packs for the Caucasus:

 

 

 

You need as well this for any modding:

With that you do not overwrite any game files, you just apply the files to the game and you can disable mods or change them etc.

 

That for the starters.

The 25T has the oldest cockpit I think. The TF-51 might look a little better, though this entire week all modules are free to try so you can download any aircraft from inside the game's module manager (but it will disabled next week unless you buy it).

 

The F-14, F-16, and F/A-18 have good looking cockpits in my opinion, try downloading them and see what you think.
