Hey all sorry to bother.
I’m coming from console and am a total newbie in regards to PC components and specs.
I’m looking to go for the VR experience, in your opinion would this PC give good performance?
Alienware Ryzen edition R14
AMD® Ryzen™ 7 5800X
AMD® Radeon™ RX 6600 XT, 8 GB GDDR6
16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, DDR4, 3200 MHz, XMP
512GB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage)|
Dell Australia has it on sale at the moment and it looks to be a compelling deal.
thanks in advance
Hi
I reckon (having bought a new gaming set-up from Scorptec) you may need 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. where MS will prob install and access most. Also make sure your power supply is good (850KW e.g.) Just that this sim eats RAM, and once you start loading up scenery and aircraft, it will eat more!!
Agreed. 32gig ram and you will be good to go in VR.
Watch this video, great advice.
Go for NVIDIA for the simple reason the drivers are better (generally), and with DLSS imminent it will help with the framerates.
PS I agree with the 32GB RAM definitely.
Cost?
Check out MWAVE, Sydney
Also PC Cas Gear down in Vic,
I purchased a Ryzen 9 5900X, RTX3080ti, 32GB 3600 ram, 2 x 1 TB NvME SSD’s , liquid cooled from Mwave, for about A$6000 about 8 months ago…have just checked prices…they are now dropping.
this one above is down to 1999 from 3999 apparently so that why it caught my eye but now after doing some research i dont think its quite good enough for what im after. i reckon 32gb ram and 3060ti at a minimum.
I recommend a desktop PC because you’ll get better performance for the same price and it will be upgradeable. If you need to buy a so-called gaming laptop, get it with at least a rtx3070 or better gpu, preferably 3080 imho. You probably won’t be getting that for under ~aud$4,000, lol!
oh yeah for sure, i havent bothered looking at any laptops..
Thank goodness, lol!
Are you willing to wait a few months?
A new gpu Generation is about to launch, and it’s supposed to be a big leap. So lower cost or more perf if you can be patient a bit more.
If you can locate one. Component parts are still hard to get.
I wouldn‘t touch Dell with gloves… they usually save money at critical parts like PSU or RAM sticks. Alienware used to build good PCs but that was before it became Dell and the name is deceptive now.
thanks for the advice guys, after some research i’m thinking intel i7, gtx3080 and 32gb ram. reverb g2.
a fair jump considering all the costs but i feel if im going to do it, i shouldnt halfass it
that’s a good collection there. Next is the hardware to fly. Not sure of your budget, but to fly ‘well’ and depending on what you want to fly, I would look at yoke/joystick, some throttle quadrant/arrangement and rudder pedals as a minimum. These will let you fly most types.
Other peripherals like radios. second joysticks etc…down the track..not so critical
i do already have the Hotas One but might think about a yoke down the line..
