Well, it seems like Dragon Age Inquisition will be really demanding from PC's...

The specs are a pretty big leap over BF3. This isn't shocking though. When you leap into the next-generation PC requirements shoot up due to the new console hardware. It doesn't bother me. I'll have a new PC next year and my current one is just fine at running BF4 probably on medium settings.

It's possible DA:I will have higher requirements than this due to it being another year away. That means Bioware probably gets whatever new code advancements DICE puts on their engine.


I don,t think we will see a big leap in hardware this gen to be honest. Nothing compared to 2005.


Maybe not but it's rumored you will see a large leap in PC architecture next year. That's the only reason I didn't build a new PC this year. The value from your dollar to performance will supposedly be much greater in 2014. Both next gen GPU/CPUs should be out next year. Maybe AMD finally can challenge Intel and we can finally get eight-core CPUs at affordable prices from Intel.

Eight-core Intel CPUs would be completely overkill for gaming. I'm running last-gen (SB-E) hexa-core and I never go above 30% load while playing games. Hell, for today's games last-gen Intel quad-cores (i7-3770k) would still be overkill unless you are running 3x or 4x SLI (which in itself is overkill unless you're trying to play stuff like Crysis 3 in 3d surround...).

Also Intel is opting for Haswell refresh instead of rolling out Broadwell so I'm not too excited about what they have to offer next year.

I'm curious to see how the new 800 series from nvidia and Maxwell pan out though. Though I probably won't be buying since I just got a pair of 780s so I should be good for the next couple of years at least.

As for AMD; eh. I haven't had good experiences with them in the past. My friend's AMD gpu just died on him after only a year too, so I think I will stick with intel and nvidia for the forseeable future.

My best hope is to have a new computer by then. Welp. At least I don't have to worry about save imports.

I think my current system is fine - I have 16 GB of RAM, an i7 2920XM CPU, and two AMD Radeon 6990m cards (Crossfire), with Win 7 (64-bit).

Sure, I might upgrade to a system with two GTX 780m cards eventually (as I have read in reviews that 780m SLI gives you performance roughly equivalent to that of a single desktop Titan), but that's only happening if my current gaming laptop suddenly dies.


So jealous of your system right now, you don't even know. :crying:

It's a laptop. A nifty one for sure, but still a laptop. I don't want to know how hot that thing gets after two hours of gaming.

Buy one of those bases with fans. In my case, my laptop doesn't need it. He has aluminium surface which helps dissipate the heat.

If anyone is planning to upgrade their graphics card with a 700 series gpu from Nvidia... Dont. They don't support Directx 11.2 natively.

My suggestion: Wait until next month when AMD releases the Volcanic Islands gpu. There are indications from several reports that the Volcanic Islands can outperform the 700 series. And the VI graphics card support 11.2 natively with a driver update that AMD plan to release when the Windows 8.1 gets released.

To the guy making that silly comment about the pc not being able to handle Inquisition... You need to educate yourself. The next gen graphics card from AMD and Nvidia are several years ahead of the hardware on both the Xboned and PS4. PC gamers with mid-range and high-end graphics card won't have any problems at all.

I'm waiting until DDR4 is available for the consumer before I overhual my entire gaming rig. Going to need a new cpu and motherboard for that monster. Capable of over 100 gbs of memory with just over 4 memory modules...

Of course the best strategy is to wait as long as possible. My computer uses a i5-760 with 8gb of ram and a GTX660 on a 24" 1080p monitor and it runs DA:2 on very high quite nicely. My CPU might be dated but the Ivy/Sandy generation of CPUs primarily focused on adding onboard graphics (with the lone exception being the i5-3350p) which are wasted on users with a graphics card. The Haswell CPUs seem to indicate that Intel is looking to focus more on laptop and other mobile platforms at the expense of desktop technology. It's hard to say but this may be true for graphic card companies as well. I hope that NVidia will have a 800 series by DA:I launch but either way I think I'll try the game on my current rig and go from there. I'm very interested in hearing what people with 1440p monitors are using.

That's not really that high spec. The game will still run on a 6+ year old graphics card.
