Whilst looking at parts for a new rig I found this and it is BONKERS!
Absolutely pointless.
I LOVE IT!
And dcs still runs at 36fps in VR
On medium settings
What is bonkers is that you can STILL add features to make it even MORE expensive!
You can buy a real airplane and a set of blinders to artificially limit your field of view for that kind of money!
And it comes with worldwide photorealistic scenery too
But the scenery costs $70/hour to update!
Blue screen of death is a ■■■■■ in the real world as well
Plus someone correctly stated ages ago on SimHQ - “The external world needs a graphical revamp!”
The worst part is that the whole pc at 30,000 GBP with 2 CPUs, 3 RTX 3090 cards, 160GB of RAM, 26 cores and 52 threads total…
Has 10th gen Intel CPUs, with very poor gaming performance.
Even if all the watercooling and overclocking would make them 20% better at gaming (which I highly doubt), they are still outclassed by a simple 12th gen i5 or Ryzen 7 5800X, never mind the 5800X3D model, at a modest 105 Watts.
So yeah, pointless indeed, for us. On the upside, you’ll never need to pay Amazon or Azure for server use if you have this thing running and know a thing or two about networks.
And dual boot gets a whole new meaning
