Great video! You gave me hope, as I have a GTX-1050 TI. I'm still going to probably build a killer system since.....why not!
A 1050ti will most certainly run DCS, especially with the new graphics engine engine and porting to Vulcan Eagle Dynamics has been talking about and testing (I think they will come to DCS next year, but I might be mistaken) the biggest bottleneck for DCS performance you will probably have would be with the CPU and RAM (at least until DCS gets more optimized)
@@TheRobeRanger Thanks! Another obstacle I'll be dealing with is the fact that I'm still on Windows 7. That's means I'd have to install an older version, correct?
@@effsixteenblock50 I think so, if you install DCS through steam and go into the betas you should find one that supported older versions of windows, however, this does mean you won’t be able to play on any servers that J know of, get any of the new optimization stuff they are working on or get any of the new and newer modules. I would recommend moving to windows 10, but you can still play on an older version of DCS (I believe it is update 2.5.6 that last supported windows 7)
@@TheRobeRanger That's what I figured - no multiplayer. I'd better buck up and migrate. Thanks for the help!
@@effsixteenblock50 No problem! But don’t forget, the last step is to enjoy the sim
My son got into DCS and I was surprised it ran the VR preset fine with our Occulus 2 using a Ryzen 5 7600, 32 gb of RAM (DDR5/6000/CL36) and a Radeon RX6600 with the free A5 plane mod.
7600 is a great cpu and I would recommend a ryzen 5800x3d for a future cpu upgrade or even a 7800x3d since they have an excess amount of threads and cache which is great for dcs
@@FluufyPvPTM cant upgrade to 5800x3d bcz his motherboard doesnt support that cpu. Only 7000 series for now
In case this helps: i5 4690k running at 4.1 ghz, 1650 super 4gvram, 16 gigs ddr3 at 1600 and SSD: Single player with everything set to low except medium textures (so I can read button labels in cockpit) and I get 60 - 70 FPS. I tried a full multiplayer server ONCE and I got 1 frame every 5 seconds. Since DCS has such a steep learning curve some people might be able to play single player decently while learning and then upgrade if they see themselves playing it a lot.
That's a very good observation. The performance in multiplayer can be drastically different (worse) than in single-player on the same hardware.
I got the i3-10100f and gtx1650 gddr 6 and for me I turn everything on low but textures and terrain high and I run at 60fps and in online it's slightly worse at like 30-60fps but still playable maybe it's because I have 24 gb ram
Same GPU here, my CPU is i7 4790K 4.0ghz.
I have done some testing in multiplayer. 1080p minimal settings:
GPU was running at 100% and VRAM was full (4025MB) that is causing the 1 fps stutter as you mentioned.
CPU is on 25-30% and boosting to 4.4ghz. Max CPU usage 71% on loading.
My conclusion: GTX 1650 Super is powerful enough to run DCS multiplayer on minimal settings at 40-60fps, however, it is limited with poor 4GB of VRAM and causing a lot of freezes and stutters
Tested on servers with 2 to 20 people.
That's interesting I always thought it was the cpu bottlenecking. Still the 4790k is quite a bit more powerful than i5 4590k i think@@tomasbancak8752
For multiplayer, have you also set the pre-load radius to the lowest number? I can vividly recall myself playing multiplayer fine on merely 8GB of RAM.
The laptop tests makes me feel better because I’ve always wanted to play dcs so this Christmas I got a mini pc bc I was on a major budget and I’m going to download dcs tonight and hopefully it works!
did it work??
@@cryptoexe6776 depends what he got, AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz mini pc with SSD and 32gig ram runs it above low settings at 1080p 60 on a big screen tv.
Dude, you're a saint! I know this is a year old video, but I'm just now upgrading from a GTX 1070, Ryzen 7 2700. And I'm on a TIIIIIIIGHT budget. No RTX 4090 for me, lol. But trying to find a straight and realistic answer about what I should be looking at for my new GPU and CPU has been Hell. I ask most (seems like most) DCS players and they seem to think anything less than a RTX 4080 with (insert super computer processor) won't handle DCS. I've been like, "Gee guys, how have I been playing at all then?". I just needed some guidance on how to upgrade my potato to a better potato for DCS. Thank. You.
EDIT: I appreciate replies with ideas on which way to go, BUT I've already upgraded by now. DCS is running great so far. Though I suppose if people want to continue to make suggestions for the sake of anyone reading the comments, I won't try to stop them.
Just to throw it out there, but I've been doing just fine with a RTX 3060 (the 12GB version which is a bit of a bear to find as nVidia decided to screw over people by canning that variant and releasing a weaker 8 GB version without updating the name). This handled great though once I went up to 32GB of RAM, and bumped from a 2000 series Ryzen 5 to a 5000 series Ryzen 7 and my performance went up to the moon.
Just wait for the 4070S.
I have a Lenovo Legion Y540 gaming laptop with the following specs:
i5 9th gen @ 2.40 Ghz
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
GTX 1650
and i can run 1920x1080 res at about 30fps at high settings single player both over terrain and sea,
however I prefer playing at lower resolution with full screen enabled. That gives me 40-60fps over terrain and 100fps+ over sea.
might need some more ram for dcs later
Keep up the good work. My system is way over the top to run DCs in vr.
Thanks!
@SpinosSimulations will my intel i5 12400f processor with rtx 4060 and 16gbs of ram do the trick? Looking to upgrading the ram to 32gbs.
Great Video. I‘ve just ordered parts for an entire new Rig for DCS. One important side note for VR:
The GPU requierements can change drasticly depending on which VR Headset you use. VR is very VRAM intensive on the GPU side and DCS in general is still badly optimized (DCS only utilizes 1 and a half CPU Core)
I own a HP Reverb G2 and I also had a Pimax 8KX for testing.
The 11 GB VRAM on my RTX 2080 Ti have not been sufficient enough for the Reverb G2, I averaged 32 FPS with the occaisonal drop to 12 FPS on high settings. The Reverb G2 utilized the entire 11 GB VRAM.
I haven‘t even tried the Pimax on my system and tested it on the PC of a friend of mine who has an Intel i9 12900k, 128GB RAM and a RTX 3090 Ti and guess what, the results are somewhat similar: 42 FPS on average with the occaisonal drop to 15 FPS. That GPU has 24 Gigs of VRAM and Memory Overflow was also the issue here.
My personal recommendation for the Reverb G2: at least an AMD Radeon RX 6800XT/6900XT or a RTX 3090/4080 16 GB. Don‘t even bother with a GPU under 16 GB VRAM. I‘ve tested the Reverb G2 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X,32GB RAM and a RX 6800 XT and ist just works like a charm. 45 FPS on average on high settings and barely drops under 25 FPS.
For Monster VR Headsets like the Pimax5KX: don‘t even bother for now.
Thanks! I'm building my first gaming PC as I have a PS4 pro, and a i-5 desktop PC which obviously can't run it
Could my laptop run dcs vr? These are my specs. Intel Core. 17-8750H. CPU ;
NVIDIA GeForce. RTX™2070. GPU 1440Mhz. GPU; 8GB. GDDR6. VRAM ; 32GB. 2666Mhz. SDRAM.
Probably. Your performance might not be spectacular, but it would probably be enough.
Thanks Spin-off! I’m doing i3 with 24 ram and a Radeon 570 gpu😊
I was running VR on an 13600K, 32Gb Ram, 3060ti at non-nauseating (+/- 40) FPS
Only thing that was a problem was WW2, because 1944 IFF is the old Mk1 Eyeball, and that simply didn't cut it in VR
If you're on a pancake, you certainly don't need the best
I would recommend not to bother to buy a used GTX 1070/1080/1080Ti especially at the current ebay pricing . Just go for an RTX 2060 if you don't plan to play on 4K. This is what I consider entry level GPU for DCS. Old i5@3.2GHz, 32GB RAM and SSD. I just upgraded from GTX 760 to RTX 2060, after deciding that I do not want a used card at a high price without warranty...
The 2060 12GB is definitely a good option for the price.
@@SpinosSimulations Mine is the 6 GB version of RTX 2060 (EVGA). I play at 1920x1200 @ 60Hz. I would like to upgrade cpu/motherboard/ram, and change from ssd to nvme, but have not made up my mind yet on what to buy.
Even the 6gb version of 2060 is more than double the price of a 1080 8gb where I live. 1080 = ~200£ | 2060 (6gb) = ~400£
I tried DCS with GTX 1060 6gb, GTX 970 4Gb, Rx 580 8Gb, GTX 1080, RTX 3060 (laptop) and RTX 3080. Overall, for 1080p, with low to medium settings (some compromise are required) they all kind of work except for the 970 4gb which really lacks Vram. For high res or VR, the GTX1080 is the bare minimum but I can only recommend going for a RTX 3070 or RX 6700xt. My RTX 3080 is ok in VR (Pimax Artisan) with some compromise on the quality settings. In terms of cpu, I upgraded from a Xeon E5 2670 @3.4ghz to Ryzen 1700x to 5600x. For GTX1080 or Rtx 3080, the cpu was a clear bottleneck. The R5 5600x does wonder and is pretty cheap, and is a drop in replacement in AM4 motherboard (update your bioa before though).
@@jcugnoni Hey. Thanks for the test info. I'm currently running something simular to your test subject with the 970
- Asus Z170 Maximus VIII Hero
- Intel Core i7 6700K Skylake Quad-Core CPU- LGA 1151
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB G1 Gaming Edition Graphics Card.
What are my chances on running Med to High ?
Awesome video, thanks for the information!
man everyone here has core i9's and 3060's while im sitting here in the corner able to play high preset on my pentium g4560 3.5 ghz with my gtx 1060 averaging 30fps in singleplayer and 24 on multiplayer
I don't run an i9, all I have is a Ryzen 5 5500 (3.6GHz). I do have an RTX 3060 though.
okay so i can run on high and VR with a 5600x just fine....someone made a vr comparison with the 5600x and the ultra pro 5800x3d and it was hella confusing with the choice of processors....
Rx6600 running it better for me than Rx560 was, but not like anyone doesnt have hiccups in multiplayer.
Does it will work well with a RTX 3060 12go, Intel core I5 12400 and 16go of ram at 3600mhz?
Yeah that's fine for 1080p
I guess you haven Acer nitro 5?
@@SpinosSimulations if you give him the okay to a 12th Gen GPU then surely with out a doubt a RTX 4050 13th gen will be way better thn fine. As I said it is DDR 6 6gb vram and DDr5 5200mhz ram 16gb and a cpu clock speed of 4.6ghz boost. The graphics card has 3D scaling implemented and 4k streaming as well
I don't think 5500 XT is cutting it. I used to be able to play the game fine 2-3 years ago but now, I look at the VRAM usage it is maxed out, the other thing maxed out is the 16 GB RAM and the page file is filled up. Last I tried it late last year, I got constant crashes at low settings, something that didn't happen prior to the all the graphics updates for the game. I believe 12 GB VRAM is a minimum for this game as it is but the hardware is so expensive, I am not sure if it is even worth buying a new PC.
32gb of RAM is a must have for DCS. The GPU might have had driver issues but idk.
I’m trying to get into dcs, but I’m not sure if my t1600m is good enough for hotas aircraft
It should be. I have played with less than that.
@@SpinosSimulations Thanks for the reply and you produced a good vid btw
I got a 1650 Ryzen 5 4500 and 16GB of ram. I think this will be just fine at Low-Medium settings.
Was it fine?
Thanks! 👍 I'm getting an ASUS FX506LH-AS51 laptop and I'm searching aviation games it can play well.
In your opinion can I run it well? Tia! 😊
Here's the specs:
Intel Core i5-10300H with 8M Cache, up to 4.5 GHz, 4 cores and 8GB of blisteringly fast 2933MHz DDR4 RAM on Windows 11
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6
144Hz 15.6” Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Type Display
512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
Yikes, that will struggle with DCS with only 8GB of RAM
@@SpinosSimulations Thanks!
ryzen 5 5500
rtx 2060super
16gb 3200
will it work?
Yeah, that'll do it.
I have a r5 5600 paired with a 6700xt so hoping i can run everything well(non vr). I've always wanted to try this game out!
You won't have issues at 1080P or 1440P with those specs. Not sure what it will do at 4K though, if that's what you typically play at then you'll need to experiment a bit.
@@SpinosSimulations I have massive respect to anyone who plays this game on keyboard. It is insanely hard to fly let allow with a keyboard. I have no idea how people would dog fight on keyboard.(also my pc runs it really well no problems but skill wise….that’s another story)
At 1080p the gtx1070 is more than capable. I'm running it 1440p without any problems! The only display settings i turn down is for the mfd's so trackir runs smooth.
Thanks for your videos
I was planning to play DCS very soon and was planning to maybe buy the Ryzen 7 5700x or 5800x and 32GB of ram since I plan to play multiplayer most of the time only thing, I also currently use a RX6650XT upgrades will also be for il2 great battles
Иногда игре не хватает 32 ГБ, лучше сразу 64 гб купить.
well time flies, today it requires 500gb ssd or hdd minimum (at least Steam page states this)
Yeah it ballooned over the past year or so
i got i core 7 7th gen 3.6Ghz, 16gb ram and msi armour rx 470(4GB) is this enoguh to run the game fluently ?
I don’t know if it can run the game fluently but you can play it since it meets the minimum requirements
Will a 6750xt with a Ryzen 5600 (just a 5600 not x or g) with 32 GB of ram and 2tb SSD be good enough for multiplayer on DCS?
Absolutely. That'll do fine at 1080P and 1440P, not sure about 4K though. GPU might be a bit weak if you're targeting 4K. Everything else ought to be fine at any resolution.
Btw i have gtx 1650 Super (+100 GPU, +666 Vram) and R5 3500x (4.2 ghz), 32gb of ram and somehow i playing 2k and with not lowest settings (maybe mid settings). Yeah i have some lags (min 50-40 fps) and freezes on GS server but its rare.
Did u download it on a SSD or HDD ?
@@julespoilpret8081 ssd of course)
@@I_Krypton_I do u honestly think i can run it on a HDD ?
@@julespoilpret8081 What model of hdd do you have? If it's a WD blue or something similar, you should be able to do it in general. And just don't forget to select the optimal "pre-boot radius". This is the setting that loads a part of the map into RAM in simple words.
And I think you will have long loading of textures.
@@I_Krypton_I ok thanks, i'm with a Toshiba 1Tb for now, but I can return it if it's too bad, I ordered on amazon 1 w ago.. and for the rest i can't get it (english isn't my 1st language), well imma traduce it 😀
I have i5 12400f RTX 2060s 32 GB ram 512gb rom Free space before downloading is 250 GB
What graphic settings do you use?
Working well with a 1660 super and i7 4790
I know that this is a weird question but how much ROM (Storage) is all right, 512 GB or more and is it compulsory to have SSD or would HDD do the job? Secondly, is 8GB DDR5 RAM better than 16GB DDR4? Or is 16GB DDR5 the best option? I have bought most of the stuff just need to get a new gaming laptop (lol), most probably a HP Victus 15. Got myself a X-52 Pro HOTAS and a PS3 Eye Camera for Head Tracking. Will fly the SU-25T for the first few months then I'll buy the currently 15$ SU-27/J-11A module. In the future I'll probably invest in some good rudder pedals. Do give me some suggestions guys 🙂👍
16GB is always better than 8GB where RAM is concerned, and for DCS it's practically the bare minimum these days. DDR5 is better than DDR4, but I'm still rocking DDR4 with no issues. You'll definitely need 512GB free storage space for DCS, especially if you plan on buying any of the aircraft modules. More will be required for terrains other than Caucasus and Marianas. I would strongly suggest a desktop over a laptop, cooling is much easier and desktops can be upgradable.
@@SpinosSimulations Thank you so much brother, your advice is noted. I really have to get a laptop as I need one for my uni and don't have any extra money for a PC. And yes I have come to realize that 16GB is better than 8GB regardless of the fact that that's DDR4 and that's DDR5. My personal requirements are to have 512 GB storage minimum too. Thanks a lot brother!!
I have an i5-11320 with 16GB ram and a gtx1650. According to google it should be enough. Do you think its enough?
Hmmm, so I need a New gpu, new ssd, more ram, and a new monitor and some VR gear. Awesome
My experience was awful in a laptop, I now, I now, with a 1050ti, 8gb of ram... I'm always hoping for DCS to appear on GeForce Now like ets2 and arma franchise
It's the RAM that's the main issue I suspect. 8GB really isn't enough anymore, DCS needs at least 16.
I have a laptop with an 8th gen i5 a 1050ti and 24gb of ram, and honestly, it's barely running stuff, upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5800x and a RTX2060, absolutely worth it.
Hey man, I have an HP OMEN 15 laptop with an I7-10750H, 16 gb RAM and RTX 2060. Do the specs look OK for running DCS more or less smoothly at least on medium graphics? I can upgrade the RAM in my laptop up to 32 gbs, but that’s the only thing I can do. I feel like; however, that my laptop should handle it
Yeah, on medium settings you should be okay. If you're going to be doing a lot of multiplayer, you might want to up that RAM to 32GB, DCS tends to get very RAM hungry in multiplayer. Otherwise that's a pretty decent system for DCS.
@@SpinosSimulations I guess first I’ll need to just get familiar with the plane and fly some tutorial and single player missions, so in the beginning I’ll stick with the 16 gbs RAM. Do the medium graphics settings still look good?
Yeah, not bad. At 1080p you might be able to push it to high
5:52, i hope, that your R5 1600 can't let the RTX 3060 get to its full potential, so the laptop has higher fps. Its not because intel is better, R5 1600 is a lot worse than i5 11400h
RTX 3050 ОС 8gb, Ryzen 5 5500, 16gb 3200 and 1 tb ssd - enough for FullHD on medium-high settings (mostly clouds and just textures) in singleplayer? And will I be able to count on the same settings when switching to multiplayer? (After upgrading to 32gb RAM, of course).
I have a 3050 and Ryzen 5 and it does medium high amazingly
Only thing holding me back is 8gb ram which causes constant crashes in multiplayer
So 32 will fix it prob
Yes, it definitely works beautifully. With fullHD and high settings DCS works quite well, I've never once had a drop below 75 FPS. Well after upgrading the SSD to 32gb everything became only better, in multiplayer, on average, from 80 to 100, depending on the map and session load
i3-10105f @4.4ghz
1660 super 6gb
24gb ram
and a SSD
What do you think about it?
For 1080P medium preset that would work fine. If you're willing to take an FPS dip, high preset might even be possible.
@@SpinosSimulations thanks bro
Not bad, not bad at all actually.

You probably don't have enough RAM. 16GB isn't really enough for DCS in multiplayer, particularly for high traffic servers like GS. I had to get 32 because I was having the same problem, and that was a couple of years ago.
@@SpinosSimulations i sae a lot of people talking about some memory leak that dcs has but ill buy some more ram, thanks!
Is a 4070 a good graphics card?
Странный вопрос.
Yes
You first need a bugfree DCS product and then decide. Good luck with that lol
I have a 3050 and it can run on the highest settings with over 100 fps
Hi i have a budget of 1k for my first gaming pc and i was wondering if it was enough to buy a PC with the requirements to play dcs
As long as you are targeting the 1080P resolution, $1k will be enough. I would recommend buying the components individually and building it yourself, since most of the pre-built PCs I have found at that price point tend to go pretty skimpy on the graphics card. Here's a pretty good combination of components: pcpartpicker.com/list/HXHQ2m
If you really don't want to build one, I would recommend something like this: amzn.to/3PUF8c7
@@SpinosSimulations thank you so much!
No problem!
Will this run it fine at medium/high settings?
Rtx 2050 (1650 super equivalent)
I5-13420h
16gb DDR5 @5200MHZ
At 1080P you could probably handle medium settings, wouldn't go higher than that with those specs though. CPU is fine, RAM is decent, but that GPU is certainly on the low end, likely even a bottleneck. If you have a desktop I'd recommend swapping that thing out for an RTX 3060 if you want to run high settings.
@@SpinosSimulations I tried it today and I ran High settings with DLSS balanced (no noticeable difference) and got a stable 80+ fps
If your PC rig is getting less fps that your laptop (regardless that the game supports intel cpu better,PC cpu's will always work better for games,because the ryzen 5 1600 is still a good cpu that will not overheat or throttle like the i5 on your laptop)
Something is wrong with you pc...
Different settings were used because of the different GPU as I recall. The Ryzen had an RTX 3060 to work with, so I had things cranked up a lot more than on the laptop.
@@SpinosSimulations that would explain it 👌
i got more then the minimum req, everything but a graphics card lol
Will it run on ryzen 7 with rtx 3050 and 16 gb of ram ?
So you can’t play without a graphics card?
Yea
What hardware needed to run DCS in VR and how to set it up??
I would say RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB RAM minimum. No idea how to set it up
hmmm could I use 3060ti ryzen 5 3600x and 16gb ram?@@SpinosSimulations
Can i run it decently with an Intel Core i5, Nvidia 1650 TI, and 8GB ram?
At this point you really need 16GB of RAM, but the other specs should be okay.
Always find this sooooo confusing...
Currently got:
I5-7500, 3,4GHz
RAM
32 gb, DDR4, 2400MHz
Graphics card
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, 6gb
Should I:
Upgrade components? Or just buy a new rig?
Looks like the cheapest solution would be just to upgrade your graphics card. Might as well buy a new PC almost if you want to upgrade that i5, good luck finding something that will be much of an upgrade unless your motherboard supports newer generation LGA 1151 chips.
New rig!, you won't go nowhere with this crap 4-cores, the Max gpu for this i5 is a gtx 1060 or lower. You need at least z 6 Core / 12 threads CPU in 2024 to pair it at least with a rtx 4060 ti. Dude, i had a i7 7700K 5ghz, 4core/8threads with a gtx 1070ti and the CPU was bottlenecking the gpu 😂 your rig is pure trash. Go buy a i5 13400F or a i5 14500 with a B760 mobo chipset, use your RAM and drives, and get a rtx 4060ti with 16gb vram they are cheap now
I have an gtx-750ti and it runs fine
With a rtx 3070, 32 gb RAM and a intel I5 last gen, can I run the game?
Yes, absolutely
How much fps do you think am I getting at high settings 1080 when dogfighting with 3050ti + i9 12 + 16gb ram
16 gb of ram might not be enough for multiplayer
My system is
Intel i5 9500 turbo boost 4.2ghz
32gb ddr4
Rx550
Should I update my graphics card
I really would upgrade it if I were you. That 550 is definitely the bottleneck. Rest of the system is good though
I have a Ryzen 5 5500 and Nvidia gtx 1050ti and I have 16gb but it kinda lags when I do vr in this game or when when I do vr on war thunder. Also it takes forever to start the game. How do I fix this?
That's because your hardware is very low end. The 5500 is okay, but don't try VR with a 1050TI, it's time for a GPU upgrade if you still have that thing.
@@SpinosSimulations would rtx3060ti be good?
Would I be able to run dcs with these specs Intel Core i7 1165G7 16gb DDR 1 TB SSD Nvidia MX450 Discrete graphics card??
Possibly, but that graphics card is very anemic. You would have to be very careful with your settings and resolution
Do u guys think macbook pro 2013 is alrigbt for dcs
DCS is PC-only, Macs can't run it as far as I know. Wrong operating system
I will build machine with i9-13900KF and RTX 4090 in mobo Z790 AX with 128GB RAM and I hope it enough for 9 year of fun ^^
Is the rx 580 series good enough?
As long as you don't go above 1080P medium settings, yes.
Is there anything i can buy off the shelf that will work?
There is

GPU: RTX 3070ti 8gb
RAM: 64GB Ddr4 3600mhz
I can average above 80 fps on medium settings on a multiplayer server (caucasus). Yet the 80 fpa doesnt look smooth.
TL;DR : Great PC specs just doesnt look smooth.
Internet connection maybe? Is it slow?
@Spino's Simulations no. It's hardware related
@Rodney 1984 I am using an SSD
@Rodney 1984 it's most likely my monitor it's a freesync samsung ultrawide 165hz
@Rodney 1984 2k
do i need to use a head tracker to play DCS? or can i play it with mouse keyboard and joystick?
Headtracker is optional, I used to play without one. It does mean looking around with the mouse, but if you're okay with that, it's entirely workable. If you have a webcam, you can get Viewtracker for about $15 USD and it will work very well once you get used to it.
@@SpinosSimulations thx for the advice, im new to the game and the mouse will be enough for a couple months till i get used tothe game although i have problems using A/G weapons on the Fa18 do u have any advice? the trainings dont seem to work for me
It’s a game changer.
i3-5005u 6th gen 4gb ram 1gb vram will it work.?
Absolutely not
@Rodney 1984 bro shut up i always had dreams playing dcs and fh5 :(
@Rodney 1984 sarcasm 😂
Hi folks. I am about to buying a new laptop. What is better for dcs rtx4050 or rtx 3060? The price is more or less the same
If you're comparing laptop GPUs, the 4050 is about 6% faster overall than the 3060. If the price is basically the same, I would probably look at the other specs of the laptops. If one of them has more RAM, go for that, RAM is very important and DCS eats a lot of it.
@@SpinosSimulations Thank you very much for your advice
In the end I bought a notebook with an RTX 4060. So we're safe😀
i have a10th gen I9 10900kf pair with 64GBDDR4 3600Mhz cl 16
and im more than happy.. oh and a RTX 3070ti. and this game still some time put my pc to cry .
so and not planning to upgrade yet.
what would you upgrade to? lol
A i5-13400F (200 USD) overperforms your i9. Now a i5 13gen + rtx 4060ti (budget PC) gives you more Performance and 2x less power consumption
Hi I have the following specs:
System type: Laptop
Name: Acer nitro V15 15-51
GPU: Nvidea GeForce RTX 4050 mobile DDR-6 6GB VRAM (DLSS-3 supported)
CPU: Intel core i5-13420H 4.6ghz boost capabilities
Ram: 16GB DDR-5 5200mhz
Can I run DCS on high with this, I don't care for multiplayer, single player only.
Maybe you can at 1080P, but you'll have to turn on DLSS.
@@SpinosSimulations a can i run it website says I can run DCS in ultra but not Vr
@@SpinosSimulations and the website is legiy
I hope they implement FSR and stuff like that
FSR is a must

I5-5600 6 Core Processor
GTX980 4 GB VRAM
16 GB RAM
good?
That should run DCS, especially when Eagle Dynamics finishes porting things to the new engine (which, if I am not mistaken, will most likely be sometime next year) and the base game is free including the Caucuses map, SU-25T and TF-51, so there is no harm in giving DCS a try on that system
can I run it with AMD 8gb A4 PRO-7350B R5, 5 Compute Cores 2C+3G 3.40 GHz?
Maybe. That looks like an old GPU though if I'm reading your specs right. Will have to be conservative with the settings.
Does it work on Ryzen 5 5500u??
Without a discrete graphics card? Maybe if you turn the settings all the way down and stick to 1080 or 720P. Can't promise though, DCS tends to be hard on APUs.
How many gigabytes is dcs??
Around 120 last I checked. Add another 20 or so if you download the free Marianas map
@@SpinosSimulations okay thank you
nice

can my laptop run dcs?
As long as you have enough storage space for it, DCS is about a 120GB download these days. Otherwise your system should be able to handle it.
Should i get 32 or 64gb of ram?
32 works for me. I might one day have to upgrade to 64, but realistically right now 32 is plenty even for doing content creation like I do.

16gb 3200mhz
3070Ti
Pretty good? Probably upgrade to 32gb?
upgrade that cpu dude
That was better than me except for RAM until just recently. I would upgrade to 32GB, but your graphics card is fine, and with multithreading that CPU isn't too bad either
heres my laptop specs
not by any means a gaming laptop
16g ram
intel iris xe
i5 1135g7
decent-ish?
IDK about that Iris Xe graphics solution. You really need a discrete graphics card, if you have an iGPU it's a double whammy because it loads up your CPU more and it uses some of your RAM as VRAM for the iGPU
@@SpinosSimulations thanks, what about an Intel gpu? thinking on getting one because they're cheap but idk the quality.
Worth buying DCS with i3-8100 and GTX 1660 super ? It will run it ok for 1280x720p ?
propabaly it will run smooth at medium setting
@@wirllll Can I play FC3 without DCS World ? Or play DCS World on an older version ?
DCS is free, unless you want a payware aircraft like the F/A-18
@Rodney 1984 1650 is too poor to buy it
@Rodney 1984 i was thinking to buy 1650 în the past to not have bottleneck but i guess is not worth it, 1660 super is much better
so skytech will run this just fine. probably shiva
Working well with my i9 4090
I play on a 7 year old laptop
cut the budget more
