Ross-impress Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Hi, it’s about 10 years ago I was close in the DCS community (lock-on). So time to start up again but with a new rig off course. (My latest GPX was the GTX8800 ) So I will add the system I would like to buy and hope you guys can give me some feedback on that.

Bossco82 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi Ross, If you want Intel I would go for the latest generation of Alder Lake. I think an i7 would be enough, in times like these using it with DDR4 would be a better idea too. Again in these times it might be easier to find a 3080ti over a 3080, you might be lucky though. VR users do seem to get a better experience on Nvidia graphics cards, So, Intel 12700k, Z690 DDR4 motherboard, 64gb 3200Mhz C16, or C14 DDR4, Nvidia 3080ti. 2x separate 1tb Nvme Gen3/4 SSD drives. One for sims and one for Windows. This would be my system of choice if I could afford it and wanted to get into FCS VR in a serious way. You could also go with an AMD based system, 5800x/5900x CPU, X570 motherboard and then the same as above for the rest. As for a VR headset I dont know if Oculus have the best option for DCS but I am sure a few forum members will have suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svsmokey Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I agree that the Alder Lake series is much better . Gamer's Nexus YT channel tests pc components (and pre-builts) like no other , and their results show the Intel 10 series actually out-performs the 11 series . 1 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco82 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Ok just to be clear, that is correct that some Intel 10th series will out perform Intel 11th series. I am not recommending either of those, I suggested an Intel 12700k, over an Intel 11900k, so that is the 12th series and is called Alder Lake using the Z690 series of motherboards. I dont think you will need the power of a i9 Intel, an i7 should be enough and you can put money saved towards a GPU or SSD's. If you do choose to go with Intel Alder Lake, consider, instead of using the new DDR5 you can still use DDR4. I would do this or go with AMD X570. Whichever you prefer, both will do the job well.

BitMaster Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) I think Svsmokey ment that 11th gen is even beaten by its predecessor 10th gen in many ways and thus 12th gen is a good choice and don't even consider 11th gen at all, rather look at the AMD side. I would, definitely go 64GB DDR4 with AlderLake as well if I had to build one. Rather put the money in the best GPU you can get and a solid overall PC than paying a fortune for RAM that has little to no benefit in gaming.

AngleOff66 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Gamers nexus relevant but about the CPU starts at approx 13:00 GN has a riew, but I found the one by Jarrod's tech 1st. If you can afford it, get the Alder. Edited January 3, 2022 by NoCoolName66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-impress Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Thank you all for this great detailed explanations. About the VR, OCULUS Quest 2 is a good choice? I know the G2 will be better, but I don't like to give such a lot of money at the VR glasses. Also my wife would use it for Beet saber Edited January 3, 2022 by Ross Configuration: Windows 11 Home/ Intel Core i9-12900F/ RTX 3080 10 GB/ 64GB DDR4-3200/ 2 TB m.2 NVMe/ HP Reverb G2/V2/ Thrustmaster Cougar Hotas/ INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT: @ross_impress • Instagram-foto's en -video's (everything about the real flying world, drone and DCS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltic Pirate Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Well what it is worth, I just got my new machine running some time ago. Phenomenal difference in comparison to my old one with 32GB RAM and a i7, 10875H 2.3GHz and a 2070Ti card. Here are the specs i9-11900K CPU DARK ROCK PRO 4 silent high-end Air cooler ASUS X570-P motherboard T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 64GB 2x32GB 3200MHz Samsung 980 PRO 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe 5000/7000MBytes/sec Toshiba 1TB HDD RTX 3090 24GB Gigabyte Aorus P850W 850W 80 Plus Gold PSU be quiet! Pure Base 600 Window silent pc case I use a reverb G2. No experience with other consumer VR devices as of yet. Must have an v2 cable for AMD, otherwise G2 will refuse to cooperate. Additionally I have Warthog HOTAS, Thrustmaster pendular rudder and a Virpil collective base with KA50 grip. Thanks to Speed-Of-Heat 3090 guide and settings, flying is quite realistic and even with lots of aircraft in the air, missiles, ground units, I am finding that this set up works really well. Not just using this set for entertainment, I have other uses for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
