Is Smart Access Memory a big deal for DCS-VR use with a Reverb G1?

[Bog9y]

Hi guys, thinking of upgrading my 2080 super. Can't make up my mind whether to try and grab a 3080ti when (if?) they come out or try and get a 6900XT. I have AMD 5900X cpu so SAM should work with a 6900XT. Just wondering whether anybody here knows if SAM actually makes any difference for VR performance in DCS? I have  a Reverb G1. 

 

Thanks!

The jury is still out on that one. We have been trying to evaluate in this thread for NVIDIA's version of SAM (Resizable BAR) ..

 

.. with mixed results particularly as we're not entirely sure whether the hack to enable it specifically for DCS via an NVIDIA profile is even working.

 

Haven't seen anyone with an AMD card report anything on these forums yet. This Youtuber appears to have had a possitive result with a 6800XT

 

 

So as AMD, unlike NVIDIA, have enabled SAM for all games maybe there's something there...who knows ?
