1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted April 27, 2018 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 27, 2018 After tolerating a Phenom (I bought off Snacko ages ago) for way too long I stumbled into a bit of luck My eldest (who works at same company as me and lives at home) took pity on his mum playing Sims on a non-gaming laptop, and dropped $800 on a new one for me. This liberated the same amount for me from my bonus, and I now have a Ryzen 1800X in an Asus ROG (yeah really lol) Crosshair V1 board with 16GB DDR4. Oh and my first SSD, a Samsung 960 Evo 256Gb. Yet to get the RAM running as well as it could, who new RAM timings could run to 100s of settings! (I got GSkill F4-3200C16D-16GVKB which is not on the QVL for the board). DCS is smooth, with my 4 year old 770GTX (perhaps I may get a 1070+ for my birthday) as is Assetto Corsa powered by my G920 Wheel setup (I was 'permitted to buy that out of my bonus last month to replace the one I sold to FruitBat LOL). IL2 in all its flavours is silky smooth too, now to get practiced again so I can get online. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I feels good to let go of the old girl huh? Mine old AMD died in January and it took till almost March to break down and order myself a new Mobo, CPU and Ram. I almost bought the same stuff you did, but ended up going Intel with a Gigabyte board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently went from a 770 to a 970 and it's really made a difference. 1070 should be...mmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 23, 2018 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted May 23, 2018 So that 770 of mine? It made a loud popping noise Sunday night, and BSOD ensued on every boot (plus artifacts during boot). 4 years old... Replaced with a 1080SC EVGA model, 8GB DDR5X RAM and boy, night and day! So DCS is smooth, F15C at supersonic is so smooth... Shame about the $600 I had to drop to get back up and running ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yeah GPU's prices are insane thanks to the Bitcoin mining stuff. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 23, 2018 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted May 23, 2018 Crazy prices indeed, near double currently. but what choice do we have? Could have gone with an ATI equivalent but I have so little knowledge of them, as this will likely be my last GPU purchase for 6+ years it seemed a good investment.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I understand, if my 970 wasn't doing a pretty good job as is, since I'm not VR and only running 1080p on a 27" monitor I'd consider the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
