Ice……Read post #25 again. I edited it so you can understand better.

Tazz said,
"My wallet wouldn’t even know what that looks like. And that’s more RAM on the GPU than I have in my rig all together… I think I’ll just sulk in the corner now "
I could afford it, but why.
Again for BMS, Shadows idea of a mid range GFX card for BMS is an 8Gb Titian. Tazz, your running a GTX760 with 2Gb RAM card. I’m sure it runs BMS quite well. So, the $80 budget GFX card I pointed out will do just fine for someone on a budget. That was my point.
-
Is BMS CPU or GPU hungry?
-
Both, mostly CPU if u have only a Full HD monitor.
If u have more monitors or higher resolutions 4K for example or 3x4K then it’s obvious u will need GPU with balls… and mostly vram.HOT LIST
System Specs:
i7-2600K @ 4.8 Ghz WaterCooled / 16GB Ram. 128GB SSD/1TB SSD / GTX980Ti 6GB DDR5 / HOTAS COUGAR. TrackIR 4 / 3x24" Mon. (res:5760x1200) / Cougar MFD's / Wheel Pedals / Win 10 64 bit.
-
That’s why I stick to a 1920x1080 single monitor and a 1060 6g card. It does fine. I do have a lot of CPU though.
-
Surely that 1060 should be able to drive multiple panels without issues? The 1060 isn’t a weak card at all.
My GTX 760 has no problem with a single 1900x1200 panel with BMS.
-
My monitor is next to get an upgrade. I’ll still stay with a single, but up the size and resolution.
-
My 1060 is driving 2 monitors, upper 1920 x 1080, lower 1280 x 1024.
No issues. thinking about a 34 inch wide screen for the top monitor. -
I think an onboard graphics is ‘adequate’ to run it. As in, you can run it and not feel like looking at a slide show of your aircraft exploding. I had ran the sim on a windows tablet, an 8-inch one in fact (Made a post somewhere here a long long time ago in the galaxy we both live in
). The thing is that you need to turn off quite a bit of graphics options, and you can get 30 fps or more.
Your CPU and RAM are very good, and way more than my tablet could ever dream of so I don’t expect them to be the bottle neck. Try to install it and run it with few enable graphics options, watch the fps and then add or subtract features. With onboard graphics I expect the problem to lie in shader and anti-aliasing, so keep them disabled first and gradually increase it. With 1920x1080 I find that you can get by without AA. If you have some fps to spare 2xAA is adequate. -
Ice……Read post #25 again. I edited it so you can understand better.
That’s $470. Not what i’d call cheap unless you consider the Warthog as cheap. He was looking for something cheap. When I said it would be like winning the lottery I was showing the long odds of finding a cheap modding Cougar under $200. Which is what the OP asked for.
So, I guess this comes down to what a person considers cheap?
What are you talking about then? If something costs $1000 and you find it 2nd hand at $600, then that is cheap, is it not?
Cheap, modded Cougar under $200 is definitely not going to happen. Stock Cougar maybe. If you want a Cougar under $200, that would most likely need some work or if it’s 100% working, it’ll be stock and we don’t know how long it’ll stay “100% working.” The phrase “cheap, modded Cougar” assumes you have an understanding of how much stock Cougar costs, how much the mods costs, etc.
-
You’re the one who said it. The OP asked for a controller for under $200. You came back with a controller for $470, but also said to try and find a cheap modded Cougar.
I said that would be like winning the lottery and as far as odds go, it would be. Now, let’s drop this. It’s going nowhere.

Sigh…… let me repeat what I said then…
I know it’s more than $200 but my recommendation is a WH stick…. or a modded Cougar if you can find one for cheap.
Obviously, these recommendations assume you’re serious about Falcon… if you’re just “testing the waters” or checking if you still have the desire to fly, then I understand you’ll want a cheaper stick, but I don’t have much experience here……Yeah, I guess it depends. I’d rather buy an expensive thing once and enjoy it for years than buy a cheap thing several times and get frustrated each time the cheap hardware starts to go south. For someone that is serious about Falcon, there is absolutely no way you can call a WH or a similarly-priced modded Cougar “expensive.” It is only expensive if you use it as a glorified paperweight.
I said that would be like winning the lottery and as far as odds go, it would be. Now, let’s drop this. It’s going nowhere.
And again, if that is your logic, then I’ve won the lottery THREE times. Just because you’ve not won it, or don’t know where to look…… Just look at the For Sale & Swap sub forum here to see how many times “winning the lottery” opportunities came up and how much they cost.
I’ll drop it when you stop making false claims of “winning the lottery” because it clearly isn’t.

Groan……
Your quote:
“Cheap, modded Cougar under $200 is definitely not going to happen.”
If it’s not going to happen i’d say it has pretty long odds. Kind of like winning the lottery huh?
You can’t say if you’re serious about BMS you’ll spend more. That’s not for you to decide. He wants to spend under $200. Recommend something he wants. Not what you think he should have.
-
Yes, cheap, modded Cougar under $200 is definitely not going to happen…. but you can find a cheap, modded Cougar. Do you see the difference here?
Yes, getting a cheap, modded Cougar under $200 has pretty long odds, kind of like winning the lottery…. but you can find a cheap, modded Cougar for a decent price and with better odds. Do you see the difference here?
You seem so stuck on the $200 price tag.
You can’t say if you’re serious about BMS you’ll spend more. That’s not for you to decide.
If you are serious about anything, you WILL spend more. That’s just how it is. Maybe not now, maybe not for a while, but it will happen. Why do you think people make force-sensing mods? Or build replica pits? Or fix broken Cougars? Or buy better GPUs? Or buy bigger monitors? Or get fancy pedals? Or buy Cougar MFDs? It’s not for me to decide, yes, but it will happen.

I will recommend something that I believe in. You don’t seem to understand what the word recommend means. You also keep missing the “I know it’s more than $200” phrase on my recommendation. I am making this recommendation based on the “nice stick” requirement, not the price range requirement, hence the “I know it’s more than $200” disclaimer.
Unfortunately, I was able to read your below-the-belt comment about me being related to Trump…. low blow there, Pete. Good day to you.
-
I’m not stuck on $200. The OP is. Why not recommend something he can use?
Yes, the Trump comment was low. That’s why I removed it after thinking about it. Trump is about as insulting as you can get and he’s our leader. Maybe that’s why i’m such a grump sometimes.
Are we done now? Hope so and i’m sure the members are too.
-
I’m not stuck on $200. The OP is. Why not recommend something he can use?
Maybe because the sub-$200 sticks I’ve used are not really gear I’d recommend?

Maybe next time, think about it before hitting that Post Quick Reply button

I was finished a long time ago…. once I start repeating myself, I am done. You were the one who couldn’t seem to grasp that caveat I keep pointing at, so I keep repeating myself.
-
I’m done here if you’re going to be here.To bad too. I wanted to fly the F-16. I’m not one to quit, but you’re too annoying for me. I come here to have fun not get in a stupid pissing match with someone who’s never wrong.
Ice…You need to step back and look at what you post sometime. Here’s the bottom line. You couldn’t recommend what the OP was asking for. Then you should have recommended nothing instead of what he wasn’t asking for. Simple. Repeating what you said over and over won’t change anything. I got it the first time.

I thought you were moving to DCS anyway? You were “done here” long before this conversation. What I find funny is that the OP has gone and moved on yet you’re still here speaking for him. I’ve been wrong many, many times and have admitted it with no issues…. maybe what could help is if you could read and understand what other people write before imposing your standards on them. Maybe the reason you’re stuck “in a stupid pissing match with someone who’s never wrong” is because I’m not the one in the wrong in this scenario.

And who do you think you are to tell me what I can and can’t recommend in my replies? Here’s an idea: If you’re not part of the conversation, maybe you shouldn’t stick your nose in it especially if you can’t read and understand how recommendations work and how certain caveats are included. Post #11 is so clear I can’t understand how you could take issue with it…. yet here you are.
I know it’s more than $200 but my recommendation is a WH stick…. or a modded Cougar if you can find one for cheap.
Obviously, these recommendations assume you’re serious about Falcon… if you’re just “testing the waters” or checking if you still have the desire to fly, then I understand you’ll want a cheaper stick, but I don’t have much experience here……Here’s the bottom line: I’ve been polite to you both here and on PMs. If you think so highly of yourself as to lecture me on what I should or should not say and you cannot admit to yourself how you mixed up a simple post that ended up making you look silly, have fun over at the ED forums. I may have recommended a HOTAS that is worth more than $200, but I’m not the one comparing other forum members to Trump.
-
Ok, Trump. You have a problem just like him, so the comparison is accurate.
I never said I was moving to DCS. You’re wrong again.
You have no idea what the definition of polite is. At least I know I wasn’t.
Not sure if i’ll stay with BMS, but I know i’m not going to have you involved in the decision. I don’t have to post here to stay with BMS. Maybe I can find a squad to join.
Go ahead and get the last word in. I know you won’t quit until you do. I’m sure you need to repeat everything at least once more.
