CybrSlydr Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 So looking at this, it looks like 16GB of RAM isn't quite enough for DCS at 1440p. This is while running a Liberation mission in the Viper. Every 2-3 seconds there's a slight performance dip. It slows down for about 2sec and then goes back to running smoothly. This is constant so far. Thinking of upgrading to 32GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminum Donkey Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Probably, yes. The only way to find out for certain is to suck it and see, and if it doesn't solve the problem, you just burned through some cash. I'm only using 16GB RAM with an 11GB graphics card (1080 Ti) and performance is pretty good. I'm running a 2560 x 1440 single screen. If you try it, keep us posted, I wanna know how it goes AD Kit: B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5800X w/ Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, 2 x 16GB Kingston Fury DDR4 @3600MHz C16, Gigabyte RTX 3070 Windforce 8GB, EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 PSU, HP Omen 32" 2560x1440, Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS fitted with Leo Bodnar's BU0836A controller. --Flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground, and having all the rules and regulations get in the way!

My RAM is also really slow, just 2400.Game even looks better too!So I think I can postpone the RAM upgrade for now. I also moved my pagefile off my old HDD and put it on my nvme drive - that REALLY helped (I was really confused why my HDD was getting accessed so much and at high loads causing serious performance issues).Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceandar Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I have 32 Gb ram but I don't play SP other than for testing when new update released and in some populate server like hoggit, DCS could eat 28 Gb of RAM even more. so if you have some money to burn why not ?

bomber Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Multiplayer yes to 32gb. I’m in vr usually and found 64 gb did improve things for me, but that’s another thing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] This must be reality, no sim can have this many bugs! 13700kf, 4090, 64gb. HP g2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CybrSlydr Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 That's good to know. I don't play MP or have the system to really do VR. Wanted to upgrade with AMD and a 3080 this year but we all know how that market is.I'm probably going to wait until the next iterations of CPUs and GPUs come out and hope for better supply.Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIghtymoo Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I am running 32 GB memory. Works great with DCS. 16 GB is on the low side IMHO.

Bob1943 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I run 32 GB of 3200 MHz RAM on a 34" 1440p monitor, using an RTX 2070 Super & an i7 9700k cpu. I run DCS at max settings and get a very fluid picture with no stutters (SP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this problem after building a new PC (3070 and 32gb) and found that with my advanced power settings set to balanced I had this issue, when I set them to high the frequent 'dips' disappeared.

CybrSlydr Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 AFAIK, the power settings are where I left them at full.Besides, moving the page file and adjusting the graphical settings fixed my issues on framerates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
