Aces High General Discussion / Re: Best gaming PC from a store for AH3

I was just looking for a cheap low profile card when I bought that machine a couple of years ago. Serves its purpose well.

The 960 I bought 10 years ago for $209. Replaced it with a 970 a year and half later. Remember when $200 for a video card seemed expensive?

The video card I added to my refurb was a new Nvidia GT 1030. I just made a video of AHIII using DX11. This card can be had for $80 or less.

I have used the GT 1030 in a low profile setup and it worked but then I found the RX 570 which is a full size card that is 3 times faster for around the the same price. I would look into both of these if you're looking for a decent GPU for under $100.

That said you can't beat Uptowns deal:  I have some stuff I'd just give you if ya want..... Gen4 Intel B660 motherboard...CPU included, ram and a 3050 graphics card

He won't be gone more than an hour. 

This is like the 4th or 5th time he has stomped off and "quit" the bbs.

That works about as well as him putting people on ignore.

Though the GT 1030 (not 1300 as i said) is newer than the AH min of Geforce 960, the 960 is faster. I had a 960 10 years ago and played AH with it. Was smooth spread across three monitors. It won't cost much to get good performance from AHIII. There is wide requirement gap between that and DCS. So if you plan to dabble in some other games or sims do some research.

What is?

You can use any vid you want. They will probably be there forever. Nothing against you. I pay for entertainment. This is not it, the game is, where zero former players rule over the customer.

I’m a 65 yr old retired grown adult. I refuse to regress to please a toxic group. What a shame the way this paints an otherwise great seasoned mature community. These are not kuds, they are physically unbodied adults who should know better than this.

Anyone with anything they are trying to get over, this is not the place for that. Run.

I was using the default settings and AA is off. I turned that on and circled the base a while. AA looked better and didn't have much impact. It's noticeably less smooth than my machine with a 3070. I would consider this level of performance as low as I would go.

Yep it all depends on the level of activity..

I'd start with a win11 box, ssd, 32mb ram with a 4000 series card in it..unless you only want to play AH and solitaire..

I would just like to get a chance to fly. My free time has been really used up lately.
