This thread still alive?
I want to get finally take the plunge into PC gaming; primarily for X plane , DCS, and American Truck simulator. Casual gaming; something to do to unwind after work / weekends. I enjoy the procedures of flying, and like driving. Would likely never get into any sort of FPS or anything. I probably would be involved with Plane for a while before DCS as I only have some GA aviation peripherals. And would still want to get a decent wheel/pedal shifter and military type HOTAS. Both of which are down the line How screwed am I $-wise if I want to play X-Plane / DCS smoothly on sort of a 'medium' setting in 1080 single monitor? I'm assuming If a set up plays either of those smoothly, it'll handle American Truck Sim. Is this something (computer only) that could be had in the $1500-1800 range? X-PLane 12 (as I'm assuming 12 will be surpassing 11 soon) Recommended Hardware Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i5 8600k or Ryzen 5 3500 or better, or Apple Silicon Memory: 16-24 GB RAM or more Video Card: a DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 4 GB VRAM (GeForce GTX 1070 or better, or similar from AMD) DCS these were listed as recommended for high settings;....I'd be fine with Medium I suspect. OS 64-bit Windows 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) + extra space for paid content ; Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 with 8GB VRAM or better; Joystick; requires internet activation. American Truck Simulator Recommended: OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 64-bit Processor: Quad core CPU 3.0 GHz Memory: 6 GB RAM Graphics: GeForce GTX 760-class (2 GB) Storage: 7 GB available space |
