56RAF_coventry Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hello all, This is my first post on this forum and i am going to be purchasing DCS Black Shark off amazon very soon. But i just want to know if i would be able to play the game on my PC. Also once i have got the game is there anything that i should download that can improve the game( like patches or mods). These are my PC details: Operating System: Windows Vista Home Edition 32bit CPU: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 2GB Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT Tell me if you need more of my PC details. 56RAF_Coventry:)
Ovenmit Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 It worked pretty well with a few minor things lowered or turned off on my: Core 2 Q6600 @ 2.40 2GB RAM Nvidia 8800GT XP Pro. Works much better since I got an extra 2 GB of RAM to bring it up to 4GB though... PLus I understand it will utilse your 2 cores much better in Vista (yuk ;) ) anyway.

Sarge55 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Do a search for DCS Max on the forum and download it. It sets the affinity for your CPU, big boost in performance especially with Vista.

Feuerfalke Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 BlackShark is very CPU dependend, so with the C2D6600 I was doing quite well. Depending on the mission (esp. weather, objects, details, etc) it also uses the graphics-card quite good, though. This is especially true on higher resolutions. With 1280x1024 I guess you can play quite good, maybe with texture-resolution and renderdistance tuned down, but that's no biggie, as you fly low anyway and your viewdistance usually is limited by the terrain. If you want to play at higher resolutions I recommend thinking about a faster graphics-card and a memory upgrade to 4GB, depending on the motherboard you use (e.g. if you now have 2x1GB on a dual channel board, exchange it for 2x2GB instead of adding just 2 more 1GB-sticks. You'd lose more performance than you gain then, as the dual-channel only works with 2 RAM-sticks) MSI X670E Gaming Plus | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 64 GB DDR4 | AMD RX 6900 XT | LG 55" @ 4K | Cougar 1000 W | CreativeX G6 | TIR5 | CH HOTAS (with BU0836X-12 Bit) + Crosswind Pedals | Win11 64 HP | StreamDeck XL | 3x TM MFD
56RAF_coventry Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 Feuerfalke, you say i should play the game at 1280x1024 but i the max my monitor can go is 1440x900 if i put it on this resolution how much will my game performance drop? and do you recommend that should download that DCS Max since i have Vista? 56RAF_coventry:)
