Computer specs

I haven't stayed up with the Computer scene since I built my first one some ten years ago.

Would it be safe to say that this will be good for DCS? 

 

CLX TALOS CASE

B550M/AC MOTHERBOARD

RYZEN 7 5800X

16GB 3200 MHZ DUAL CHANNEL

RTX 3060 TI

240 GB SSD

2 TB HDD

No. I don't believe so.

You want DCS installed on a SSD. 240GB ain't going to be enough for that. (Well, depending on what modules and maps you play).

I'd be looking at a minimum of 32GB of RAM as well. 

As for the GPU, I guess that depends on your monitor's resolution (or whether you're going VR)

Min 32 gigs ram, 64+ is better. No regular HDD , you want dcs on ssd or NVME drive(s). My dcs install alone  is just under 500GB at the moment.  Best processor and gpu you can afford. DCS really takes a beast to run great, especially on higher graphics settings. And VR…Ooh baby lets talk specs for a good experience with that lol   DCS can of course be run on the system you have stated but I think it may struggle a bit, especially being installed on a standard HDD and lack of ram.

Thanks Gentlemen.....I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Just for reference. On my setup {( in signature) using a 5120x1440 main screen and a 24” touchscreen for helios, with most settings maxed,  nets me a good 85fps average. It really is a hard thing to give advice on. Everyone’s expectations are different. You can always change settings to meet graphics demands but dcs also needs to get the information in and out as quick as possible which the ram and ssd will help.. processor wise, dcs only runs on a single core, except for sound ( at the moment) so getting say a 24 core i9 -13900k for $700 just for dcs doesn't make sense. Yes its awesome, of course, but dcs wont use it. At least not yet. Hell my i7 11700k runs at about 9% while dcs is running and it’s under $300 now and 2 generations old already lol you don’t necessarily NEED the latest and greatest, just a well thought out somewhat upgradable setup imo. Unless you’re going for VR, then buy the most expensive best of everything and you’ll get a nice mediocre experience..LOL j/k….sort of ( dcs faults, not the hardware)
