DCS Maybe?

Red October1984 · 02-21-13, 09:09 PM

So I been thinkin' lately...

I popped on over to the DCS Website to look at the sysreqs of DCS World since it is free...

I've got a bad GPU, but some RAM....and if needed...some RAM Upgrade slots.

Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4028MB RAM
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Display Memory: 1695 MB
Dedicated Memory: 64 MB
Shared Memory: 1631 MB
Native Mode: 1366 x 768

IL-2 1946's reqs are less demanding...but I'm wondering if what I have above isn't good enough could I just get some RAM and upgrade a bit?

I doubt you can get any decent FPS off of DCS with that GPU, the minimum is
listed as 512MB, yours is 64MB IIRC.

And no, more RAM wouldn't help.

That's what I was thinking...It was worth asking about though. DCS looks like a wonderful game. I was told somewhere that upgrading my RAM would help my GPU. I can run games that need 256 mb GPU like Battlefield Vietnam...

...and I can run the first ArmA on lower detail.

DCS is a wee bit demanding really.

Game?

A game would forgive your errors, respawn you and a few seconds later you'd be on your way.
