    This one takes as much as any other does 2. If you buy the GTX 680 from Asus though, those take 3. I have the GTX 680 from Asus and I must say it's an amazing graphics card.

    So it is to my understanding that a good graphics card will run DCS better? It's not the CPU?

    Both are just as important. As with everything, your system is only as fast as your slowest component, and DCS is no different in that regard to any other software.

    While it's true that DCS puts more demand on the CPU than most games and less on the GPU than the newest shooter games etc, it does very much use the GPU. It's just not using the newest features such as DX11, that's all.
