Grover2005 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Found what seems to be a good deal on a new computer...Is an RTX3060 a decent video card? Thanks! Steve in Kansas 7 Miles NW of KGCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plainsman Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Get a bigger SSD or M.2 and forget the HD. The RTX 3060 will be fine if you are using a 1080p or 2K monitor. If you use a 4K monitor, you may need a more potent GPU? Ideally your memory ought to be 3200 speed. What PSU is included? This can be a limiting factor if you decide to upgrade to a more potent GPU when the price comes down, in order to run 4K.

DLR_41 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I can't speak on the AMD CPU, I haven't used one in years. I don't see many on here that use them complain 1 bit since I've been back. There was an issue with Win 11 I think slowing it down but an update fixed that up. Memory should be fine but the more the better if you are going to play other games. This sim goes easy on CPU and Mem.. but the best graphics card you can afford the better. It relies on it heavily. If you can, upgrade the 1 Tb HDD to an SSD or even better NVMe M2 drive. If you don't have the M2 interface on the motherboard, you can add a PCIe adapter card. That's what I had to do and what a difference. I know of one fella that has the 3090 and I saw his youtube video and it was most impressive. I hope this limited info helps you out!
