the recommended gpu with dx11 is 460gtx so this means i cant max out the graphics with my gtx460 1 gigs? altho its over clocked to 800mhz core clock and 2000mhz memory clock

We can't say anything for certain, but probably yes unless you are running at 2560x1600 or something.

Oh my, dx11, if the castle rocks look like the rocks , or similar in the heaven benchmark, I will cream myself and my gtx570 will cream it's vapor chamber too. If the dragon scales act at ALL like the heaven benchmarks I will get my gf to cream too.

Not like DX11 is terribly exciting eh? ... they'll use like 2-3 of its features, rest will be DX10 anyway. The support for PhysX, utilizations of Fermi or native support for Nvidia CUDA/ATi Stream would be more welcome to be honest, power boost instead of fancy useless effects, which doesnt differ from DX10 so much.

Em...I'm not up to speed on video cards, will I be able to play the game with the best graphic setting if I have a NVIDIA GF GT 340? Is that better than this?

Video: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
Video: NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater

You should be able to play it but not at the highest settings as that card doesn't support DX11.

Since I am betting you have something odd there, you'll be a long time getting the most accurate information.  It's entirely possible it's an OEM version of something quite mundane, like the G 210, or GT 220, neither of which is good enough.  Or it could be related to the cheapened GDDR3 version of the GT 240, which is at best on the borderline near Minimum. 

Whatever it is, is not a standard retail card, so that we'll all be in the dark at first.  (Edied: there were some speculation articles showing up already, based on the announced specifications, and it does turn out to be essentially a refresh of the GT 240.)

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm going to buy a new computer and one of the computers I was looking at in a store had that graphics card. I guess it's not up to the job then, I best look for something else. Ideally I'd like to have a computer that has either of those cards, but I imagine that will be quite expensive.

The recommended cards are what was at the "High End" three and a half to four years ago, and will be very hard to find today. However, the progress in computer development being as rapid as it is, today's Mainline (medium) Gaming cards are essentially already above the level that the high end used to occupy on the performance ladder back then.

There is a reference article on the DAO forum you can refer to. I'm waiting on more benchmarks to show up before entering the most recent Mainline and better cards in their appropriate Shader Function order.

I wonder if i can enable (at the highest quality settings) DX11 with 5770 since I play at 1400x900, Bad Company 2 works fine at high in DX11

I just checked the stats for the NVIDIA GF GT 340 card

Is this not en par with the ATI 5850?

Lolz, sorry for a video card noob this is hard.

Edit: I didn't see that link there on Video Card Rankings and Basics,
"We seem to have a sizable influx of new arrivals who have never gamed on PCs coming in" :whistle:

I just checked that thread, doesn't look like either card (ATI HD 5450 or ATI HD 5570.) can cut it. Sigh. That means the Acer Eliminator is my only option :P It has a  ATI HD 5850.

If you want to meet the Recommended Level, you can't choose a system with a Low End, Low-Medium, or borderline Business/Medium zone, video card.  The HD 5570 and the GT 240 aren't that far apart in performance, although the 240 / 340 should rank somewhat above the 5570, unless it's the "slow" GT 240, and so far, I haven't seen any indication that there will be two different 340s. 

The Radeons do tend to be less expensive, cooler running, and more power efficient than most of the matching Geforce cards.

Am I to understand from this that the ATI HD 5570 1GB will not be able to support DA2's minimum requirements?

Or have I misunderstood what you're saying?

I believe the person was talking about reccomended specs. You will not get a very decent performence from a 5570 unless you bring the settings way down. and it certainly won't cut it at DX11.

Thanks again for the advice, I'm glad you took the trouble to make that post. I went for the Acer with the ATI HD 5850 card. It's a monster :P

I'm getting a little confused about graphics cards since http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/ asserts the 5570 is a very decent gaming card that, and I quote, 'The ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card joins the award-winning line of AMD graphics that fully support DirectX 11'. 

How will a card that fully supports DX11 not 'cut it'?

Yes, I'm clearly a gfx card noob, apologies!

Games are rated by their developers on a scale that they hope will provide maximum enjoyment, so that the RECOMMEND a particular level of hardware performance, and the Direct3D version is only a part of that judgment.  An HD 5570 is a BUDGET choice.  The card chosen by the recent new system buyer is one of the HIGH END cards from the 2009 generation of Radeon cards.  As such, a budget level represents the lower end of what should work.  It is above the minimum by a nice amount, and should handle all Medium everything, from resolution and image quality to frame rates. 

But the developers hoped you would opt for the higher, smoother running frame rates, and their configuration will set the resolution and image quality to low, automatically, for a system with an HD 5n00 card, to enable at least 35- 45 FPM worth of animation speed. 

In order to support all medium without some slow downs in the frame rates, you need at least a middle of the Mainline range card, which is where the HD 5670 was aimed, a year ago.  The HD 5750 and 5770 are at the high end of Medium. They are still mainline cards, but verging on High End.

Does that help you any?

For those interested yougamers.com can now test your system against the recommended/requirements for Dragon Age 2. The site requires a minor download and install. The site and download are both safe.

Handy site. Cheers!

Ah ok, that is a little clearer thank you Gorath! I think I just panicked somewhat when I read that the 5570 wouldnt cut it seeing as I just purchased the 5570 for my new rig (yeh it's on a tight budget haha). But as long as it supports the game and dx11 I am happy!



Thanks again
