pelinelu Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I need some help regarding the PC components for running the game since I have almost 0 knowledge about PCs. I'm not so happy with 40-50 fps right now. My specs: Processor AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor 3.20 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB Also a RX VEGA and the AMD software doesn't even recognize the game. What should I buy?

draconus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 55 minutes ago, pelinelu said: RX VEGA Which one exactly? What screen resolution you play with? Try the Low preset in the DCS options > system - how does it run? Try FSR or TAA as scaling method.

MadKreator Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) At first I’d turn the preload radius down to about 30000, msaa down to x2 (x4 is nice but it’s a resource hog!) or try fsr , or taa as mentioned above . Drop chimney smoke density down to 1. Forest visibility can have a big effect too. If you can get a nice even 60, dcs should feel really good.

skins45 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Wow, those settings are quite ambitious for your setup. Since you asked what you should buy, I'll provide some input below. I haven't played dcs without VR in a LONG time, so I'll try to take that into account. I'd recommend for 2d, a minimum of a 2080ti, ryzen 5800x3d (this is likely a bit much for the GPU, but more on that in a sec), 32gb of decent ram. You'll likely get good fps with medium to medium-high settings. You can absolutely get away with less, but I'm a sucker for the beautiful aesthetics and want to pump as much I to my eyes as possible. You might not care as much about some things. If you have extra scratch, move up to a 3080ti. If you play multiplayer or very high asset volume missions, then go for 64gb ram. Not necessary, but I do know it made a tangible difference for me. It's pretty tough to know what is best for YOU, so I recommend using the search function here with a few different search phrases to see non-anecdotal numbers and settings from other people's rigs. And search for dcs graphical comparisons on YouTube to see what settings are a personal must, and what's just nice to have - again, FOR YOU. DCS is one of those "games" where it's as much about the flying/combat as it is to extract every drop of performance from our rigs. That means there should be no shortage of information to help you in your never ending endeavor. Good luck! Edited March 12 by skins45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd first try different AA method and see how it fares. Why not full screen option? For current DCS @1440 you'd want better card, around this level: source: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3060-ti.c3681 Best results you'll get when you pair it with new CPU, around Ryzen 5 5600 level or some i5. source: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600-vs-Intel-Core-i3-13100F/m1822932vs4143 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You solved my problems I had a 3060ti for a long time and was getting 20-30fps in VR, I upgraded to a 4070ti and am very happy. Since the card does not fit in my case I use a riser cable. don't forget about power supply wattage, the 3060ti and the 4070ti require a lot less wattage than a 3070,3080 etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelinelu Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Well I guess I'll play with TAA and FSR until I get the gpu and cpu, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
