Minimum specs.

[wantless]

My dad has been looking at this game so I downloaded it and it didn't run well, Does anyone know the minimum specs so I can get the parts i need to run and play this game?

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (LOW GRAPHICS SETTINGS):
OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Intel Core i3 at 2.8 GHz or AMD FX; RAM: 8 GB (16 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 60 GB; Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 / AMD R9 280X or better; requires internet activation.

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (HIGH GRAPHICS SETTINGS):
OS 64-bit Windows 8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 with 8GB VRAM or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

I gues the Recommended system requirements are not up to date.
Get a Ryzen 7 3700X with a RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070 Super and 32 GB RAM.
It's not high end but in an acceptable price range with good performance.

What are your specs right now?

Keep FIRMLY in mind that the "minimum requirements" for this will probably not give you great results. This has always been a thing with PC games of all kinds. You kinda have to assume the "minimum requirements" are shooting too low and the "recommended requirements" are probably closer to what you will want to start with in terms of parts ideas.

There are a few things you will want to pay special attention to for the best possible experience and the most "bang for the buck". The first is RAM. You can get by with 16 gigs of RAM but that will be a bottleneck for your overall DCS performance and it will impact your experience (especially in larger scenarios both single and multiplayer). Going with 32 gigs of RAM may seem like a lot but DCS (based on my own experience and the experience of a great many others) will certainly make use of it.

The next big thing is SSD. Since the map and aircraft texture data tends to be on the large side, having DCS installed on a SSD is essential to avoid stuttering. Again, some will "get by" with DCS installed on a normal mechanical drive but it WILL be a bottleneck and WILL create stutters.

CPU is a big concern as well. A CPU with weak single core performance will bottleneck DCS pretty quickly. You don't need the best CPU out there but try to shoot for a good one and not a budget option.

The last thing is the GPU. Like the RAM, since DCS tends to make use of a lot of very high resolution textures and a lot of graphic bells and whistles. It is a good idea to shoot for a solid mid/high-tier GPU. A GTX 10 series or something in that ballpark (especially something roughly equivalent to a GTX 1070) is a good goal to shoot for but you could get by okay with a 1060 or equivalent as well.

I know this will all seem expensive and you can get by with less but if you want to avoid common performance issues with DCS, you need to bring a lot of computer horsepower to the table. You don't need the best possible computer but you need to shoot higher than the listed requirements.

The first is RAM... The next big thing is SSD....

Hey, I want to make a comment on this. I decided to finally throw DCS on my SSD and I noticed a HUGE difference and was even able to bump up my settings, 16 GB DDR4 @ 2400 and a SATA III SSD. I can honestly feel that an SSD is way more important than having 32 GB of RAM easily. I plan on getting a 1 TB NVMe SSD and just sticking with 16 GB of RAM because it works, no stutters.

Thanks everyone, the help is appreciated
