Based on those, and doing some more looking, I'm revising my budget figures upwards to $3k to $3.5. Seems like I'll need to to put it up into that next level. I'm leaning toward the AMD RX6800XT @1440, but still open to suggestions. One reason I was thinking AMD is Freesync (if I match that with a monitor that has Freesync). Does it enhance DCS? I took a look at some of Gamers Nexus videos but I think I'll stick with putting my own together. It's part of the fun. Ive done two builds in the last month. It's hard to find GPUs these days 6900xt is on the market, for a price. 6800xt, if you can find one, is fetching the same price as 6900xt. And you literally have to win a lottery for the opportunity to buy a 3000 series GPU. Speaking of which you should get the Newegg app and start entering the lottery every day. I finally won in the chance to buy a 3060 for my son in law but it took several weeks and still haven't scored anything I'd want. Finally got my 6900xt off eBay. The scalper erred by ending his auction at like 4am eastern time. ~$1350 shipped. Mobos are in short supply also. I wound up getting a GB x570 cuz it was the same cost as a b550. Asus mobos are nuts. As for storage, DCS will take up 500GB easy. If you start downloading content for msfs or xplane you're gonna wish you had 2 or more TB. Although, a mechanical hard drive works well enuf for terrains and might be an inexpensive option for ya Did they ever fix the spotting problems in 4k?

Bossco82 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 HI Oddball. I got a new Nvidia GPU for my 40th, so my trusty 6800xt is up for sale now. I might not have it by the time you get your build done. I will still have my AMD 5600x cpu though and the same LG monitor. Here are some setting for you to try when you get your 6800xt. 1
Svsmokey Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 I'll add my thanks for that post . Will give those settings a try... 5 minutes ago, Bossco82 said: HI Oddball.

Bossco82 Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) No worries. Thats not for 20'000ft flying either. I like fast as low wild weasel or dogfighting flying. While using a Track IR 5. It gives me a 99% solid 60fps. If it does ever dip I hardly ever notice. This has been my best case scenario for smooth flying in DCS so far, bear in mind I had a 2080ti before my 6800xt. You will need a Freesync monitor to take full advantage of those settings though. Edited February 2, 2022 by Bossco82
Oddball52 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 Was thoughtful of you to think of me and provide these. Looking forward to trying them out. Happy Birthday!!! "I mean like, so many Positive Waves, maybe we can't lose!!"
