talvikko Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago I'm planning to build a new computer (primarily for DCS) and I have two questions: 1. Will I notice a real difference if I add 128 GB of RAM instead of 64 GB? (I know more memory is better, but if the practical difference is small, I don't want to spend money unnecessarily.) 2. Will I notice a significant difference between the graphics cards: RTX 5070Ti 16GB 256-bit vs RTX 5070 12GB 192-bit? Of course, I realize that the 5070TI is more powerful, but I also want to spend my money wisely. And importantly: I won't be playing VR. I don't need anything more than a monitor and a 1920x1080 resolution.
aceviper Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Have not seen DCS fill 64gb yet...but who knows in the future. You should be good for a few more years with 64gb.
diego999 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago 1 - No. DCS is nowhere near using 64GB of RAM and it won't be for, at least, a few years. 2 - Yes. 12GB is on the low end of VRAM amount for a 2025 card. You might not notice it right now, but it could start limiting you in a couple of years. If the price difference is not outrageous, go for the ti. More future proof, too. 3 - Yes. Both those cards will laugh at you at 1080p. Throw them a real challenge: 1440p should be a nice upgrade without breaking your bank.
