digital_steve Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Not really... it's dual core, so like 2 x 2gb crossfired I have a 2gb 5970 clocked at 850/1200 and there are some games that i can't run maxed out (metro 2033, operation arrowhead). The price is over the top though, but if you have the money... AMD Phenom II 965 BE @ 3.8GHz, 8GB OCZ AMD BE RAM, ATI HD5970 2GB XFX BE @ 875/1215, TM HOTAS Cougar, TM Cougar MFDs, TrackIR 5, CH MFP, GoFlight Switch Panel, iMo Mini-Monster Touch, Mimo 720S, Saitek Pro Flight Headset

The price is over the top though, but if you have the money... that sounds more like the CPU is bottlenecked. :huh: Yeah, it's quite a lot, especially for DCS :D
digital_steve Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 A phenom II x4 965 BE C3 running at 3.8GHz or 4GHz is a bottleneck? I dunno... maybe i haven't upped something i should've then. My ram is 8gb running @ 1600MHz 8-8-8-24-27 and a 2600MHz northbridge Dunno... always happy to take advice AMD Phenom II 965 BE @ 3.8GHz, 8GB OCZ AMD BE RAM, ATI HD5970 2GB XFX BE @ 875/1215, TM HOTAS Cougar, TM Cougar MFDs, TrackIR 5, CH MFP, GoFlight Switch Panel, iMo Mini-Monster Touch, Mimo 720S, Saitek Pro Flight Headset
Prophet Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 More memory allows you to run a higher resolution, AA, AF. All of those increase texture size which is what GPU mem is for.
Postal2 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Oui , en plus je rajouterai 2 * 2 pour le peu de gain aportter par rappot à un CF de 5970 (en conso et en chauffe) c'est quand même autre chose .... et le prix aussi . Perso je garde mon cf de 5970 OC plutot que une 5970 (4Go) . [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] == http://www.3rd-wing.net == Extremmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
