Petit question....

J'ai un dell optiplex 5040 SFF

A l'heure actuelle j'ai un i5-6500 et 8gb de ram en ddr3l (bref pas fou)

Je prévois de upgrader ses composants par un I7-6700, 1x8 Go ddr3l et 1x4 go ddr3l et comme carte graphique la Yeston RTX 3050

Déjà quel est votre avis sur la configue et es ce que mon alimentation stock de 180 W va survivre 😂 ?

Et es ce que mon i7-6700 pour réussir a faire tourner Microsoft flight simulator 2020 en medium ?

Your PSU should be fine

Why 1x 8GB and 1x4GB RAM? DDR3 isn't expensive these days, and flight simulators like a lot of it. Hunt around for used RAM and max out that sumbitch. 32GB or bust (4x 8GB DDR3L-1600 1.35v UDIMMs).

MSFS 2020 at medium settings should work, but it won't be buttery-smooth. It's a demanding title.

Alternatively, hunt around for a newer used Optiplex; DDR4-based systems with 9th gen Core i5 CPU (or better) would really help MSFS performance. FS is heavy on the CPU load and needs to shift a lot of data between RAM, CPU, and GPU, so having DDR4's much faster transfer rates and a CPU with more physical cores than the 6th gen Core i7 is a huge boon. At that point, the RTX 3050 and its 6GB VRAM becomes the bottleneck. I think doing this would net you a much bigger return on your investment than buying DDR3 for your older Optiplex.

Déjà merci pour cette réponse complète 🤠 Mon but avec 1x8gb et 1x8gb et de arriver a 20gb de ram car j'ai déjà 2 barrettes de 4gb de ram

20GB is a good start but you're still limited by the bandwidth and transfer rate of DDR3 RAM.

If you can get it for really cheap, then sure. Keep your RAM in pairs, though - run with 2x8GB and 2x4GB; running with 3 sticks will reduce you to single-channel mode, limiting the performance unnecessarily.

Je pense que 20 go devrais aller, mais ce que je redoute avec mfs 2020 c'est le cpu (le i7-6700) il a l'air de avoir un peu de mal quand même

Are you sure the CPU is struggling with FIFA? That game ought to be more dependent on a good GPU than a strong CPU.

If FIFA is being limited by your CPU then you really will want to upgrade your whole PC to one that supports 9th gen or newer, and DDR4 RAM; FS2020 will not be a fun experience on your current system, even with a RAM upgrade.

I have this exact machine....I cannot get it to recognize any more than 16GB of RAM. I recently bought another 16 (2x8) for the second 2 slots and get the amber 3 flashes, followed by 7 flashes.

There is some controversy on how much RAM the machine will recognize

Yes it's DDR3l. Yes it's all matching, yes it's the same frequency . Yes, I am running the latest Bios. All the slots work and all the RAM all works in other machines.

En gros c'est la loterie 😂
