PC Those On Pc, Would You Mind Posting Your Systems Specs?

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.

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
MB: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi
GPU: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000mt/s cl30
Storage: 1TB Kingston NV3
Monitor: 42" LCD IPS LG TV 1920x1080 60hz

I run all tsw games in 1920x1080 ultra 60 fps

 

Old Laptop - (Still run the game occasionally - or stream from the main PC).

• CPU - i7-9750H
• GPU - GTX 1660ti
• RAM - 8GB
• Storage - 1TB HDD

Gaming PC -

• CPU - i7-14700K
• GPU - RTX 5070ti
• RAM - 32GB
• Storage - 1TB NVME

The experience is very different on each machine

 

Windows 10 Enterprise
Fractal Tower
Z690 AORUS PRO
Intel Core I9 12700
64Gb Vengence DDR5
be quiet! Silent Loop 360mm (CPU cooler)
Asus Prime Geforce RTX 5070 TO OC 16GB DDR7
Asus ROG Strix 1000Watt Platinum
4 Samsung SSD hard drives

LG-Power Minotor with 4K and 144hz

 

I can imagine your gaming PC being a lot faster

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)
Input Logitech G703 mouse, G815 keyboard

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

 

Windows 11 Pro
Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce Z390
Intel Core i9 9900K(OC 4.7)
x2 Samsung SSD 990 Pro 2TB
Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce 3080ti (12GB)
G.Skill Trident Z Royal Elite 32GB RAM (DDR4 8GBx4@3600 Cl.14)
Seasconic Prime Ti 1000 watts PSU
Sound Blaster AE-9
Acer Predator X27 Monitor @144hz

Custom water loop in a Thermaltake Core P90 open air case

 

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

 

Was top of the line 3/4 years ago.

Intel I7-7700k ( water cooled )
RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB
Ram 64GB
2TB nvme SSD; 4TB HDD
Win 11
34" Ultra Widescreen
Mech kbd + gaming mouse.

Will upgrade when I win the lottery.

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"

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

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.

 

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D 12-Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090
Video Memory 32 GB
Total Memory 2 X 48 96GB
3 X 4Gig Nvme drives

 

MSI GS75 Game laptop
Windows 11 Pro
Intel Core i9-10980HK
NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2080 w/ 8Gb memory
Memory 32 Gb
2 TB SSD

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

 

Wow, top of the line

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

 

Your question was asked and answered previously, here:

https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...system-specs-and-in-game-settings-tsw5.85215/

 

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.

 

Windows 11 (hacked/pirate)

Storage: SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe MSI SPATIUM M45 0
Monitor: "24" Samsung S3 S31C S24C310EAI Black (75 Hz)

 

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 the money back and build a pc myself
absolutely no regrets

 

I run at 4k on a Samsung 43" Neo Qled 4k ,res set at 100%, I limit frame rate to 60, set settings to ultra ,5090 runs at about 40% useage,its under volted to 875mv keeps temp down to around 55-59 degrees c.

 

Mine's a fairly old beastie now:

AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
Intel Core i7-7700 @3.60GHz
16GB RAM
Win 10

I run TSW from an SSD, so that helps a bit, got decent framerates on WCML Shap when it first came out, but now it struggles heavily around Carlisle in particular...not sure if it's something I've changed, something that's broken or something that updated. The other routes run fine, London to Brighton, SEHS, ECW, North Pennine, Bakerloo, GOBLIN, the odd small stutter when loading some stations, but nothing catastrophic.

 

Intel Core i9-14900K
64 GB DDR5 @ 6,000 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
6TB Samsung EVO 990 Pro M.2
4TB Seagate 7,200 RPM
Windows 11 Home

I used to use a Ryzen 9 7950x3D but noticed considerably more stuttering. Found that games were more stable for me with the Intel chip.

 

Ordered myself a new PC this evening, can't wait to try it out! Presumably it will perform a bit better than my work laptop

MSI Vector
Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
GeForce RTX 5080 with 16 Gb VRAM
32Gb DDR5 RAM upgradeable to 96Gb
1Tb SSD + another 2Tb SSD that I'll be transplanting from my current PC (3Tb is possibly overkill but oh well)
16in QHD 16:10 display @ 240Hz

First time I've bought a gaming laptop. For the past 20 years I've been building my own desktop PCs, but they're a bit more hassle to take with you when work sends you away for a week!

no such thing as overkill when it comes to storage, especially with a game like TSW that eats space and sees so many DLC releases.

congrats on the build!

 

Mine's very old by today's standards (but will be upgraded in 1-2 years):
Case: MSI MAG Vampiric 010X
MB: ASRock A320M-HDV R4.02 (Bios version:10.43)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - Stock Wraith Prism RGB Cooler with aftermarket Noctua NT-H1 Thermal paste
RAM: (16GB) G.Skill RipJaws V 2x8GB DDR4 3200MT/s (or MHz if you fancy)
GPU: (AMD) Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5500XT 8GB
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe
PSU: an old Non-modular Corsair 550W
OS: Windows 11 Pro - Debloated/AI stuff mostly removed
Peripherals: Corsair K55 Pro RGB Keyboard, Corsair MM100 mouse pad, Logitech G102 Lightsync mouse, and Late 2000s Yamaha YST-M101 speakers.

 

On laptop:
3060 Laptop
Ryzen 5 5600H
16 GB Ram
Storage : 500 GB (don t know the ssd) + 1 TB Samsung 980

It does the job for playing in 60 fps in 1080p, even if it's a bit limited on the new routes I have (I can often go down to 45 FPS ,see 30 less when there are a lot of trains)

My future setup that I would like :
GPU: 9070 XT (or 5070 TI if the price drops)
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700
MB: ASRock B650 Steel Legend
Storage : Samsung 990 Pro 2To
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2x16) or Kingston Fury Beast 32 GB (2x16) (wait that RAM prices fall)

Runs TSW very well on highest settings, the usual minor stutters that come with UE4.

Runs latest AAA titles well in High/Ultra Settings, some tweaking required.

Looking to buy new PC (which I've been saving up for) when GTA6 is released.

 

Well, I've just received my new laptop (a day early, see my previous post) and wow what a difference it makes! I've never seen TSW run like this, let alone played it! I'm at 2560x1600 and I've pumped every single setting up to the absolute max, including screen resolution at 150% and FXAA, then jumped straight into timetable mode at Euston during rush hour. Haven't once seen it dip below 30fps.

For those wondering if an upgrade is worth it, it definitely is.
