Mudspikers… A friend of mine needs a PC that will run FS2020 well. Since I don’t have that title yet, I don’t have a feel for what’s needed. Does it like a lot of RAM? Lotsa cores? M.2 NVMEs? Go!

It’s very scalable but more is better obviously. It ran very well with my 1080 and obviously is even better with the 3090. Likes cores and core speed

[image] jross: budget Say around $1000-1200. That’s just the PC. He’s got a screen and peripherals.

That’s out of my league I’m afraid - I’m not going to be much help maximizing that amount for FS2020 as my hardware knowledge ends at, “throw money at it!”. The rigs I’m looking at are 2.5X that amount, but my target is DCS in VR. And I’m still waiting to see how FS2020 does in VR. So far, IMHO, FS2…

I run FS2020 on a i7-6700HQ (mobile processor), 16GB RAM with an e-gpu with a 1080ti. It runs fine at 1440p. It can stutter here and there, and hovers around 30fps (because as you can tell, it is a less then ideal use of my configuration - several bottlenecks, but it’s what I could put up together) …

Supposedly the Ryzen 5000 shortage is disappearing in the next few weeks, so it may well be possible to build the ideal PC and only substitute an old GPU. Saves a lot of money and trouble not having to swap out the motherboard. @Troll I can only tell you that it runs smoothly on Ultra@1080p on my R…

And if Ryzen 5 5600x isn’t available yet, you could put a 3100 or 3600 in that B550 motherboard in the meantime. Ryzen 5000 series require a new BIOS, different from the default BIOS of most B550 boards sold, so if you don’t put in a Ryzen 3000 CPU first, make sure your motherboard supports USB fla…

I just checked and this is what was used of my 32GB RAM. Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, overclocked FCLK to 1900 MHz, RAM speed 3800 MHz (synced with FCLK) CL 18. With a 1080Ti breezing through a 1080p flight on Ultra preset, flying around Athens and the Parthenon then to Crete. [afbeelding] Just over 16GB u…

If I set logicalincrements.com to Sweden (Norway is not supported), I think the “good tier” is a good guide. Except I would recommend getting 16GB of RAM, a B550 instead of a B450 motherboard, and a cheaper, second hand GPU (1070 for 200-250 euros for example). My girlfriend used the Gigabyte B550…
