I wonder if how many games or flight sims out there have significantly better performance with 16GB/32GB/64GB RAM compared to 8GB? How much of that is due to better resources/hardware available and how much of that is due to better software coding? Basically, I expect most software to benefit from better resources/hardware such as more RAM or an SSD but good software should still work acceptably with 4-8GB RAMand an HDD and bad software would *NEED* more resources/hardware due to poor coding.


what you are asking is if needing 32 GB RAM to run well is indicative that DCS is poorly optimized ?

I have no idea if it is.

the only reason why I have 32 GB is for skin making and that because of my 8-12 GB templates - but for 1-3 GB templates 8 GB (on top of 8 GB for Win10) is enough.
