Ronnan, I think that you will have a very hard time running DA:O with that set up, so yeah I would definitely drop the grand!! Oh Yeah I dropped about 1300 at Tigerdirect.com and picked up some great deals on very good equipment.


The hell..

Advertisements in the forums, great.

Ronnan, you can run high settings.


giggity.  Now hopefully my local Gamestop has it tomorrow.  Most PC games tend to show up a day late.  <_<

Hey, I have an Acer Aspire 5738 with a Pentium® Dual-Core CPU Processor T4200, 2.00 Ghz, 4 Gig Ram. Would your reckon it would work? or should I get it upgraded?
Quick reply is appreciated:)


Does your laptop have a video card?



I dont think so, is it important?

Ok so I think my system meets minimum specs - I don't expect great performance, but before I go ahead and buy would someone be so kind as to confirm that it will at least run??



AMD Athlon 64 FX 51 2.2 ghz

Radeon X850

2 GB RAM

Just in case you are not joking, it is by far the single most important thing.

erm.. I believe it is a Nvidia Geforce G105M TurboCache that I have, if thats what u mean by graphicscard[/quote]

That is basically a higher clocked 9300m GS, which a dev was able to play with... maybe, we don't know if it wa a 9300m G(better) or GS..

I'm not sure what mobile notebook cards we'll officially support (typically what you see in most games is a disclaimer "mobile versions of these video cards may work but are not officially supported"), but for whatever it's worth, the game run respectably on my exact same laptop as yours, except I had the NVIDIA 9300M. The GPU was by far the biggest bottleneck, I run most of the game using the medium detail setting, but was willing to play between 10-15 frames a second. Playing at the low detail setting with that video card made it noticeably better, but still there were frequent cases when it dropped under 15. So I'd expect it will work on your video card, and quite a bit better than what I got.

Edit: Forgot to say I was running at 800x600 and without post-processing effects, that video card's fill rate is not nearly as good as the desktop versions.

But will it run smooth or will it stutter and lag? Thinking 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 with 2xAA and 8xAF. Will this stay above 30fps and run smooth?

According to this: www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,698666/Dragon-Age-Origins-System-Requirements-Benchmarks-and-Graphics-Tuning/Practice/

It looks like the game is a lot more CPU heavy and will run perhaps a lot worse than we all expected. I am hoping it will be ok but it doesn't look that good for only 2 cores.


.

I'm on the other end.  I am banking on it being more CPU heavy.

i7 290
6GB RAM
Gefore 8600GT

The RAM will be upgraded to 12 GB later this month, but I'm hoping I can live with that graphics card a bit longer.

Before anyone says anything, I know it probably seems like I shouldn't worry about the RAM.  While I do game on this computer, it is not a gaming computer.  I am a photographer, and I have been getting low memory warnings while work in Photoshop.

I'm hoping I can get a solid 30-60fps vsync enabled with 2xAA and 8xAF 1920x1200 or 1680x1050 will be fine bcs my monitor scales to 1680x1050 with minimal blur. Otherwise I gotta go get a 9650 and throw in the machine... /sigh

About importance of CPU:



Especially concerning CPU and system memory, you guys shouldn't be worrying as much about meeting the recommended system requirements for playing this game. I run the game fine on my 2 gig vista/2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo machine at home, and I'd be suprised if someone experienced significant performance gains when running Dragon Age on a quad core CPU, compared to an otherwise identical setup with a dual core CPU.



The video card will probably affect your experience more. Even though you'll get the full game experience on the minimum required graphics cards, having a recommended or better video card will make a difference in the visual quality of the game. That said, it very much depends on what kind of gamer you are and how much attention you pay to graphics. I personally enjoyed the game just as much on my laptop playthrough using the lowest visual quality setting.




AMD 64 X2 Dual 4400+ 2.21Ghz w/ 3 gigs of RAM which I assume is DDR 2 without pulling the box apart. I tried and it runs really well on 1.5 Gigs but I constantly had a crapload of other apps running so hence the 3.

The video card I had was a 256MB 7800GT.

OS was XP



I ran on medium settings and the game ran really well - 99% of the time about 20fps and usually between 25-40.



Most of our single core work was done on a similar system with 1 core disabled.



We did a lot of work to make it run on lower end PC's well and if you have the minimum you will have an OK gaming experience. If anything I'd recommend closer to a 2Ghz and above processor before upgrading to a dual core (or a quad) if you can do that cheaply. And before upgrading you should try the game - because it might just surprise you




yeah.. I do not think you need to panic about the gaming being very limited by the CPU.

I strongly suspect your graphic card will not be able to handle those settings along with that resolution.

Interesting because on that site I linked they said they got a 29% increase just switching from 2 to 4 cores and that graphics card didnt make that big of a difference. I am skeptical of such a large jump like that but, that is what they said.

The guy hoping for those settings has a EVGA 285gtx.  I'm the one with an 8600GT, and just hope to be able to run the game smoothly at 1440x900 with as many settings on low or disable as I have to.  I'm hoping to wait out for the 300 series from Nvidia, but DA:O might make that impossible.

My laptop is sporting an Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 Ghz and 3 GB RAM (Vista), so I know I'm fine in that area..however, I'm worried about how well my Mobility Radeon HD 4570 can run this game.
Think I can run it at medium-ish settings at ~30 fps? Or lower?


It can probably run decent fps at medium, yes.

Nope, low.  it's quite crippled.

Well, they do point out that:

With any graphics card better than a Geforce GTS 250 or Radeon HD 4870 the processor becomes the limiting factor. 


An 8600GT is quite a bit below a GTS250/HD4870.

You should be able to handle medium settings with an 8600GT at least.

How do you guys think my rig will handle this game, im worried about my CPU.



Athlon Duel Core 5400+ 2.8GhZ

3GB of Ram but im running on Vista

Geforce GTX 260



I was hoping to run it on high settings with a 1480 resolution any thoughts?

Then I must have one, since games like Aion work. I take a wild guess here and take for granted that a game like Aion requires quite good requirements.  But if I am wrong please tell me:)

Well I'll find out tomorrow if an E8400 @ 3.6ghz w/285gtx is good enough or not to run 1680x1050 2xaa/8xaf and stay above 30fps vsync. I just want the game to be smooth and not microstutter or lag.
