personally I am looking into a new rig that contains

Cpu : I7
mobo : Asus, most like with 6-8 PCI-E 2.0 16x slots. Supporting over 16 GB ram
Ram : Corsair DDR3 or better. minimum of 8 GB, max of 16.
Videocard : 2x dx11 in SLI
PSu : 1000 Watt Zalman or other superior brand.

I don't see why you'd want an i7, unless you're doing some heavy professional stuff on it. It's big overkill for a gaming-rig.
You can never have enough RAM though, only shortage on money.
Oh and please [fanboymode] don't go for Nvidia. First of all, they don't even have DX11 cards yet, and it will take a while before they'll come. And secondly, I hate them, because they trick developers in making games semi-exclusive for their hardware (the Batman game). Support the open market! So just buy yourself 2x HD5870, or even 2x 5970 if you'd like (5970 is the name for the HD5870X2, but isn't out yet, it'll come somewhere in November)[/fanboymode]
And a 1000W PSU is overkill aswell, although not if you're going for a quad-GPU setup.


Your post is just plain wrong.

First of all, the core i7 has turned out to be a superb CPU for gaming - GTA 4, for example, runs like crap on almost any CPU but the i7. That trend is only going to continue. 

Secondly, you state that you can never have enough RAM - well, for gaming, at present, anything more than 4 gigabytes is overkill. You don't need it. No game is going to show any performance gain with more than 4, and quite frankly you're going to be good to go at 3. 

Third, please don't go around telling people not to buy a card from Nvidia because you happen to like ATI - that is just sheer bloody arrogance.

I think I am going to be fine with

intel core 2 duo oc at 3.7ghz

Ati raedon 4770 512mb-

core speed at 836mhz

ram at 4.28ghz

4gb ddr2 at 1066mhz



I should run this fine highest settings right?

Okay since I found the right thread now...



OS: Windows Vista

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+

RAM: 2GB

GFX: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT



How do you think it'll run on my computer?



Also if given a choice of upgrading the RAM or GFX card which do you think needs upgrading more.

You can run the game just fine @ medium.

As for upgrading, I would mainly go for the GFX card, however the processor is a little aged and RAM is dirt cheap atm.

Waiting a while and doing a throughout upgrade might be better since upgrading one thing will make the other a bottleneck, you are fine for now.

You will run high just fine, with extra stuff like AA and AF turned on.

I've bought a new PC, i think it'll be able to run DA at least on medium, but i hope that mb high too :).

Intel Core Quad 2.833 GHz, Nvidia 285GTX 1024 Mb, 2x2048 Mb RAM. 

OS is XP SP3, i'm not going to switch to W7 before it gets the 1st service pack at least (ALL windows i've used sucked before 1st service pack :)). I dunno if it's possible to use DirectX 10 on XP? Does Dragon Age use it (directX 10), or i shouldn't even bother about it?

OswaldCash: You'll be able to run the game at maximum settings at whichever resolution your monitor supports, even 2560x1600.



There's no support for DX10 in XP, and DAO doesn't use it anyway.

OS: Vista Home Premium 64

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 GHz

RAM: 4 Gb 1066 MHz

GPU: Geforce 9800M GTS 1 Gb 1066 MHz



This is my laptop's specs. All I hope for is 1440x900 @ 30 fps. Medium settings would be nice. Is that plausible?

there is no official support for dx10 in XP, however there are some third party DX modifications that make you able to run dx10 in XP.

@mscm,

Should be doable, I was able to run AOC on medium Dx10 settings on my laptop so :)

Yes, you may even be able to get a decent fps at high settings.

That's tons.  For the Builder's Event 2 we were running the game on a quad core of some sort and a 9800GT and it ran beautifully. 

Directx 10 is not available for XP.  I upgraded to 7 over the weekend, and it is fantastic.  Usually waiting for the first service pack is a good idea, but it's not necessary this time.  They smacked the ball out of the park with this one.

Just about medium, but do not expect high settings.

Medium as well.

Mid range cards such as the 9650m GT/GS lie between the minimum and maximum, but since even the 9300m g(s?) ran it decently on low and pretty badly on medium, 8600/9600/GT130/ and mobility HD3650/HD4650 should do just fine on medium.

That's 'cause it's a renamed Vista SP3.  ;)

GPU would allow you to play with very high settings, processor is much more likely to be a pain and could force you to play on lower settings.

I'm not ready to buy a new PC so I might be prepared to risk it and buy the game early.

Sorry to re post, I am a bit worried about my Windows SP2, will work?



Windows XP

AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual

Core Procesor 6000+ , 3.11 GHz

RAM: 4 GB DDR2

GeForce 9500 GT 1024 MB



Thanks in advance.



I just realize that I have Windows XP SP 2 - it will be a problem?

It'll run medium.

Why don't you just update to SP3?

I'm planning on buying a new pc, since this pc can't even get the character creator started.
Curious to hear what you think about it, I'm aiming at playing the game on maxed graphics :)

processor
Intel Core i5 750
motherboard
MSI P55-GD65
Cooler
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 (or maybe the 212+)
Powersupply
Antec TruePower TP-650
memory
Kingston ValueRAM KVR1333D3N9K2/4G
graphics
Club3D HD 5850 1GB (CGAX-58524IDP)
harddisk
Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ, 1TB

With overclocking I should be able to get the processor to 3.2 or even 3.6gHz, but I doubt that'll be necesarry.
this any good?:)
