Wanna get opinions before I buy it.. It’s not financially possible for me to upgrade my PC in any way at the moment (although it’s intended as soon as possible) BUT, that being said, I do have the 80 bucks to drop on the game, IF I can play it.
I know I’m not gonna be able to max her out, and quite frankly I don’t care to at the moment. I know about benchmarks (but can’t google fu anything with my specs at all) and canyourunit.com, but being told you meet the “minimum” requirements or just above isn’t enough to say “Yeah, you’ll get 15 FPS, or 30, or it’ll be playable”.
So, has anyone with similar specs with me played the game so far, and what is your FPS/performance experience?
My specs:
Intel Quad Core @ 2.6 GHz
4 GB RAM (mobo supports more but unfortunately 2 RAM slots went kerplunk so I have to have 2)
GPU: Radeon 6570
Again, I know i’ll be able to run it…But will it be a slideshow or just a shade above? Or will it be playable (even on lowest settings, minus having to go to 800x600 which even if “playable” I can’t stand the look of - makes me sick).
TYTY
Can you be more specific about your CPU? Is it an i5 or i7? Better yet, what is the full model number of your CPU? Look up CPU-Z if you don’t happen to know your model number.
my guess is an intel core 2 quad
Of course it’ll be tough to know 100% since I haven’t played the final build yet (only 1 hour & 20 minutes left) but some of the people with early access have already said that their FPS is higher than it was in BF3. Of course this won’t be true for everybody, but it seems to be pretty clear that the final build is optimized significantly better than the beta (as expected). I personally think that it will be playable (> 30 FPS) on the lowest settings with the occasional dips in FPS from explosions & other visual effects. Your 6570 should do alright but will almost definitely be the biggest bottleneck along with the RAM.
I bet you are right. My 3770K i7 runs at 65% on medium settings. The core 2 quad will not work
It’s neither actually…It’s a Q8300 I believe.
Yeah it’s a Core 2 Quad. I’m not looking for 60 FPS..As long as it’s not a slideshow. Anywhere in the 20-30 FPS range is playable for me. Will I get at least that? (with lowest settings)
I can run BF3 on High-Ultra, Crysis 2 on med-high, Skyrim on ultra with lower shadows, FF-14 on high-ish as long as I turn down shadows, Arkham Origins on med-high and they all run great.
