Your internet connection is certainly well above what they give as the ideal case! What I meant by bottleneck is that RAM bandwidth is measured in GB/s (gigabytes per second), while your internet connection is in Mb/s (megabits per second). I suspect that being able to hold more data in RAM will be more useful than being able to transfer data in and out out of RAM faster.

Ah I get you now, thank you ☺️

Yeah, as Loki says, those specs you quote are for the ‘Ideal’ setup.

Do you think my internet will be a bottleneck? The ideal setup was 50Mbps, at 300Mbps I’d have thought I’d be cooking ☺️ I’ll probably try the 128GB then, see how it runs on that. Just a waiting game now until it’s comes out.

Hi, I'm interested in running the new Microsoft flight simulator and just wanted to run these specs past you:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170-Gaming K3

CPU: Processor Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 4001 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel @ 1066MHz (15-15-15-36)

Graphics card: MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G GeForce 8 GB GDDR5 VR Ready

Bandwith: 300Mbps

Can you make some recommended upgrades? I run the Oculus rift on this so isn't a terrible spec.

Also, I see the RAM needs to be bumped up at least in turns of speed, I happen to have some 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz DIMMs available that I can use, about 128GB, would 128GB of DDR4 2400Mhz be better than 32GB of a faster speed RAM?

Thank you in advance.
