The LT Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Hi guys, What's the maximum used RAM amount for DCS World? I've got 6Gb at the moment, will upgrading to 12Gb make a noticeable difference? Thanks!

Bodo Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 VRAM , memory on your GPU is most important, more so with higher resolution, extra screens etc. Ya should be fine with 6. 8GB is good enough for most situations so 6 should be fine, too. 4GB is starting to see itself being the bare minimum. 12/16 GB??...., well unless you run a huge sample library for audio it may help but my 8 is fine for that, video stuff I dunno about. For gaming on most systems, GPU being up to scratch, then4GB is still quite enough. Check how much RAM is being used in task manager when you're running the sim. Limit the page file on your system to 500ish MB. Windows should then use more of your RAM-- if it's been offloading a lot o stuff to the HDD/SDD page file. Tired and a bit drunk so I hope I'm makin sense.

Thanks! Start DCS: World and load a mission... Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up Task Manager... Click Performance tab Click Resource Monitor Click Memory Tab It will tell you exactly how much RAM you are using in game...

Madone Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 DCS doesn't use more than 4GB. So 6 GB is enough actually, the amount doesn't matter, the frequency is more important.

FrozenMan Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Hope so it will work. Because when I upgraded my RAM up to 8GB it showed me a significantly different. Edited February 18, 2013 by FrozenMan Discount wine offers free rose wine delivery service.
WildBillKelsoe Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 8 or 16 GB just about right. Make sure they're compatible with highest speed with Mobo too. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

bn880 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 8GB or more. I've seen DCS using 6 GB+ on occasion, and 12GB when things go wrong. (MP) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
