There’s quite a few delays in the path I describe, so there is opportunity there.

For the top tier cards nvidia used the increased efficiency to deliver a huge leap in performance. The 4090 was an incredible step up from the 3090 and 3090ti. The 5090 is mostly the same tech as the 4090, just a little more power hungry and more memory for a pretty modest performance increase. For DCS in VR it offers above average performance improvements compared to the 4090 to be fair but for other games it doesn’t matter that much, even in 4k. For 2D you are absolutely right - a mid range PC is enough - but right now even that is prohibitively expensive simply due to the RAM prices.

and stupid is that i start to see in some devs from dlcs or future sims that thinking that if your pc is not enough, go buy new ram or graphic card because its cheap, they became very very lazy in optimization and textures compressions and start to begging requirements of like +8GB VRAM and high ram for 2d 1080p non-vr use!!!
Heh, my PC is pretty ducking far from dead. In fact, it hardly produces any heat when playing DCS. Now when I run Cyberpunk 2077, it starts heating the room, but for some reason DCS just slides off the GPU.

Two years back I was thinking, why did I get 64GB RAM again…………… but might be able to get by if a stick dies. The Corsair kit has gone from £169 to now £732 at Scan.
Interesting times.

Except for the C-130 with ray tracing on. This one does heat up the room quite a bit in my experience. Other modules are pretty tame, still heats up the room over time but it can’t replace heating.
For the past 3 weeks I am thinking: “Why didn’t I get 64GB of RAM again??”

I wish I’d bought a second set of 96GB RAM, easy 1000€ profit
