    I'm curious to know what everyone's PC specs are, anyone with a 5090 yet? (I know expensive)

    I'll start with mine:

    Windows 11 Home
    Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB midi tower
    MSI MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI socket 1700 mainboard
    Intel® Core i9-13900KS
    Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT (CPU Cooler)
    G.Skill 32 GB DDR5-5600
    MSI GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING X SLIM 24G
    SAMSUNG 990 PRO Heatsink 1 TB SSD
    SAMSUNG 990 PRO Heatsink 4 TB SSD
    Corsair HX1200i, 1200 Watt PSU

    And my monitor is a GIGABYTE AORUS FO32U2P 31.5"
    which is a 4k 240hz monitor.

    Pretty similar

    Windows 11 Pro
    Lian Li ‘Der Bauer’ Tower
    Tuf Gaming Z690 Motherboard
    Intel Core I7 13700
    64Gb Vengence DDR5
    Palit Gamerock 4090
    3 x WD 2 Tb SSD
    Be Quiet 1000w PSU
    9 x Corsair QX120 Link fans

    Samsung G8 32 Inch 4K 240hz Monitor.

    Also have an 8bitdo retro keyboard as you can plug external buttons that I use for Sifa, PZB and door controls.

    Don't Plan on upgrading to a 5090. Not enough benefit for the cost.

    So far some pretty modern hardware..

    Operating System Windows 10 Home
    Processor Intel Core i7-9700K @ 3.60 GHz
    Mainboard Asus ROG Strix B360-G
    Graphics card Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti (old but very reliable and still powerful)
    RAM 64GB Corsair something DDR5 (much RAM comes in handy when you're an artist)
    Storage 1x 512GB Samsung SSD 860 Pro, 1x 2TB Samsung SSD 870 Evo
    Screen 27" LG 27GS60QX
    Sound Creative 5.1 Surround system (ancient)

    Overall not the most modern system in some aspects, but works well on most things so far, including TSW :)

    Old potato...
    I7 4770'
    24 Gb RAM.
    GTX 1650 4Gb.
    Windows 10 (two attempts to push a Win 11 update did not play particularly well).

    Most routes are okay at 1440p for 30 FPS, if all else fails there is 1080p and Lossless Scaling.

    Hopefully new PC will appear in October or November.

    Do you find the 7800X3D CPU helps at all with stuttering and in lowish FPS places like Frankfurt HBF?

    yes, I have experienced almost no stutters on frankfurt hbf (frankfurt s-bahn route)
    AMD X3D CPUs are the best for gaming imo, if you're going to get one I recommend the 9800X3D as it's newer and allows real overclocking

    I’ve been looking but PC’s like Alienware (Dell) only use Intel and I don’t want Intel. It’s a shame that a supposed gaming PC doesn’t use the best gaming CPU but I guess their deal with Intel is more important.

    Anyway, thanks for the reply. I hear a lot about how good the AMD CPU is but never spoken to a TSW user before.

    I totally understand you, I also had a lot of prejudice against AMD until I faced serious problems with i9-13900K crashing all the time and since then I went to AMD and I don't regret it, stable, cold and a "fps spitter" :D

    btw, I had problems with i9-13900K on an alienware aurora R15 then I discovered about intel 13th/14th gen chronic problems

    Haven't you got stores where you are where you can select the hardware you want and then let them build it for you?
    That's how I got my current pc.

    Entry level gaming PC.
    TSW5 still runs great on it, especially with DX12.

    Intel® Core™ i5-14400F Processor 4.7 GHz 10 core)
    RAM: 16 GB
    HD Storage: 1 TB SSD (+2TB SSD External)
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB
    Sound: 5.5 inch alesis studio monitors

    I have it playing through a 4k 55" screen, which is nice.
    I use an PlayStation controller too, and wireless keyboard and mouse.

    A lot of hardware on higher end PC are overkill for a game like TSW or even Transport Fever 2.
    Saying that, I'll probably upgrade next year, Although there isnt much need as long as I can run the following games.
    TSW6
    Transport Fever 2
    Sprocket
    Arms Trade Tycoon - Tanks
    Stellaris
    Wreckfest 2
    The PC I've currently got is just right for these games, so I'm a happy bunny with what I've got.

    NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2080 w/ 8Gb memory
    Memory 32 Gb

    Good performance on TSC and TSW.
    On hot days (+30C) it adds extra gameplay to TSW called sudden death, due to GPU overheating :o

    Wow, top of the line:o

    Are you able to reach 60 fps with screen percentage at 200%?

    Still chugging along on my old and (t)rusty desktop:
    i7/7700
    Nvidia GTX1070 (8Gb)
    32Gb of RAM
    Win10

    Old, but runs TSW pretty well at 1080p with reasonably high settings, keeping 40/50 fps apart from the busiest stations.

    My PC (I use most of the time):
    • Ryzen 3 2200G
    • Aorus RX570
    • 32GB RAM
    • Windows 10

    Runs OK, but when playing around areas like Frankfurt it's a mess.

    Laptop:
    • Intel i7 7th gen
    • RTX 2060
    • 16GB RAM

    Plays WCMLS a lot better.

    I mean maybe but if I’m honest I didn’t know such a thing existed. I’ll take a look to see if there is anything local to me.

    Yup! I was a victim of this. Chip burned alive and failed due to motherboard defaults over-volting. Thankfully, this has been fixed with bios updates, and I was able to get my chip (i9 14900k) RMA'd and replaced at no cost. Didn't even need to explain much to Intel for them to accept and process the replacement.

    in my case, dell/alienware replaced the fault cpu but it didn't help at all, so I decided to return the pc and get my money back and build a pc myself
    absolutely no regrets
