Daft question what would be the biggest RAM usage feature? Is it textures for example in this game? I have 16gb and wondering if I should get 2 mopre 8Gb stick, but then run the risk of not being able to run 3600mhz or selling them and getting 2 X 16 and suffering with lower latencies at 3600mhz/

Alpha product and lets get something like a PDMG in 4K Etc running.

Good news most modern AMD and Intel chips at about six cores up shouldn’t have issues.

Ok. That's just gone over the magic 15GB mark, and I heard that airports with lots going on are going into the 20s so that's a definite for more memory needed then.

Looking at new Graphics Cards, if spending around £350-400 which would be the best to go for ?

Yes in a busy airport and more complex aircraft I've seen 20gb+ usage.

Couple that with some flight planning/tracking software running in the background too and a Web browser you're easily using a heck of a lot.

I’d personally wait a couple of months for the new cards, but if you can’t then 2070S or 5700XT will both do a good job with this game and can be found in that price bracket.

I don’t know specifically how the 5700XT performs in this game relative to the 2070S. Of the two I’d probably now pick the 5700XT (I’ve got a 2070S personally) as it’s usually able to be found a smidge cheaper and is seemingly getting better and better with the latest driver updates as AMD is finally figuring out how to extract the most out of them. That’s unless you have games that could really benefit from DLSS or raytracing for example, in which case the 2070S would have the edge.

But again, if you can I would really recommend holding out just a couple of months - Nvidia’s new cards are rumoured for September and AMD’s for October/November. Whether you go for one of the new cards or pick up a great deal on the outgoing cards, either way you’ll get significantly more bang for the buck at that point.
