I Know my PC has really poor specs, so no need to rub it in.
OS:Win 7 32-bit
Graphics:ATI Radeon HD 4350 1 GB dedicated
RAM:4 Gigs
But the thing is, DA:O and both of the Mass Effect games ran fine on it.


K, first, I was about to defend you and say that Gorath Alpha should just take your word and that maybe you're just running at super low resolutions or something...but I just checked the minimum system requirements for Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 1, and Mass Effect 2, and you're below min specs for ALL of them. Hell, ME2 specifically states that the 4350 is below minimum requirements. So, I don't know what your definition of fine is...maybe you're just running the games at like 800x600... But for the sake of anyone reading this topic, your 4350 is most definitely below the min specs for Dragon Age II, and if you have to disable the intro movie to get the game to play, then something is wrong...


I SWEAR i ran ME2 on 1280x1024 resolution with everything, high quality bloom, film grain, motion blur, dynamic shadows, light environment shadows, spherical harmonic lighting, EVERYTHING on...and i didn't suffer a single incident of frame rates dropping or crashes.
Maybe it still looks better on better graphics cards, but I think Bioware just brags about the min. system requirements.


I believe him/her.  I've tried running DA:O on a Radeon 4350 long long time ago and it managed about 1024x768, all sliders right except for AA and ~ 25-30 fps.  Not sure about ME2, since I play it with a totally different configuration, but I've seen videos of the 4350 running it just fine at low res, and from my experience with the game, didn't seem much heavier on the hardware. 

DA2, naturally, is probably a different story. 

Well, thanks. At least someone believes me(I'm a male, by the way). Even if not fully.
What you say about DA:O exactly matches the way it ran on my PC. ME2, however, was better, which even I didn't expect.
And about DA2, even if the demo isn't enough to judge by, from what gameplay footage I've seen, it shouldn't be nearly as heavy on the system as ME2 was, at least in terms of graphics. Unless you're using DX11 rendering.

So i'm still hopeful about DA2. In all probability I'm being a complete moron, but luck seems to favor me when it comes to getting games to run OK on my PC.

I've tried windowed, high settings, low settings, with vsync (w/o too), etc. The farthest I've reached in the demo is the player creation. I hope this isn't a glimpse of the QA team and what we're going to see in the final release.

Specs:
i7 920 4.0ghz
24gb RAM
570GTX


I've had the same problem, where I couldn't get passed the character creation and the game would just crash, though it was after I played through the demo 3 times. Did you try re-installing?

Resolution: 1600x900
Widescreen (16:9)
Graphic Detail: Low
AA: Off
Renderer: DX9
Full Screen Enabled
V-Sync: Off
All other 'Disable X" setting not checked.

These setting appear to work for me. Hopefully they may help someone else.


Something must be up, I have a weaker setup and I get 160 FPS on med with 8XAA
2500k @ 4.5 and a GTX 560 TI.

I know this sounds weird, but try out the new drivers from nvidia, the beta drivers gave me a nice boost in FPS

i played the demo at 1920X1200 (16:10), dx11, maxed out settings, everything on high or max..worked like a charm. cant wait for hi-res pack.Not sure about my fps though, is there a console command or something that allows me to see it.  It's a new rig so still dunno all the tools yet.

You understand that Dx11 button does nothing right?And the max settings the demo has is med, no matter what you choose.

yeah i realize that, i did it anyways but also lowered it to the demo defaults and i was getting around 50-60fps. I suppose that's good? Im not sure if there a FPS 'sweet spot' for games like this or its just whatever plays/looks good to the invidivual? Guess when the game comes out with the hi-rez pack for PC/DX11 i'll find out more but for now the game looks great graphically.

Anything above 40fps is good. Some people seem to get used to playing at around 25fps while others can't stand anything below 40fps. Personally i like mine around the 60fps mark so everything feels nice and smooth.

thanks for yout input..yeah the graphics and game flowed very well at 50-60 though during big battles and special effects it drops down to 30sih, which still looks and play ok.
