Depending on how comfortable you are with playing on absolute minimum graphics settings, I'd recommend upgrading your graphics card.
I've got a GT560Ti, and after the first couple of updates to the open beta of BF4 and some further tweaking, I could run it at mostly high graphics settings with reasonably smooth framerates.

Ideally, I'd say do a complete upgrade of your system though, going for a current mid-range spec pc, and probably a more recent AMD graphics card.
I specify AMD because of DICE and AMD's partnership involving AMD's new API - Mantle, and DICE developing FB3 to be able to utilise it alongside AMD's development of it.

Seeing as I didn't get any responses last time, just going to repost my specs in more detail:

OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 3635QM
RAM: 8 GB 1600mhz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 640m

I would ideally like to be able to play it on High at 900p, but I'll be happy with medium. Thoughts would be very much appreciated. :D

@Lord Issa: I ran BF4 beta on an i3 at 2.93Ghz, with 4GB of RAM at 1080p. You shouldn't (depending on optimisation at release) have many problems on medium or high* with those specs.

*assumption based on graphics options for DA:I being similar to BF4 with Low to Ultra settings and capacity to customise options for individual graphics settings i.e. Dx11 options, SSAO/HBAO, antialiasing etc etc.

Lets hope it will have 3D Vision support when it comes out. Unlike BF4 with the FB3 engine that doesn't and probably won't either. My system will be more than adequate to run it in 3D Vision.

Your GPU is a bottleneck, I think you should expect to play medium-low(optimisticly). Not insulting, I have sli 650ms and I cant run BF3 with more than 40-60 fps on medium-high settings on 1080p. Going down to 900 may help you but I doubt you'll play on high setings.  Unless of course you are comfortable with around 20fps.


Pseoro whats was your fps???

Averaged between 30-40fps (after the second update) for two hours before my system was getting sluggish and needed a reboot.
That was playing typically conguest and obliteration game modes. Double the RAM (my mobo's max is 8GB) would've practically negated that issue, but wouldn't help get higher frame rates. That would need a major upgrade unfortunately.

I did have the CPU overclocked to 4Ghz for just over a year, but my system can't really remain stable for long periods like that anymore.

Should also add that I'm on win8.1 Pro 64-bit.

Before the haters chime in, it was the cheapest OS upgrade I've ever done, when Microsoft was pushing out Win8 with the Pro version being priced at £25 as an upgrade only option for buying directly from Microsoft.
Still miss aero glass though.

If you can run Castlevania Lords of Shadow Ultimate Edition on its highest setting without problem then Inquisition should run. The former game (despite being an updated PC release of a console game that came out in 2010) looks next gen on PC and far more detailed than Inquisition.

I think the same goes for being able to run the likes of Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. I doubt Inquisition will attempt to beat these games in terms of graphics. People are acting like the game is going to be a beast to run. Maybe at ultra settings but anyone able to run BF4 now should surely be able to run Inquisition even if at mid-high settings.

@Psearo,
You're bluffing about Nvidia GeForce GT420 can only run minimum settings. With low AA, you can easily raise the graphic details and effects to high (if not highest) with the highest resolution. Bioware games haven't been using much graphic card you know.

About FPS, I remember playing Mass Effect 1 on 12-20 FPS till I upgraded my graphic card. 23-24 FPS is movie standard and quite good and normal to watch. 30 FPS is the standard for video games, higher than movie standard.

Why does everyone who asks this have a system that's massively better than mine?


word....that's why buy a console.

Good solution. I'm getting this on the PS4 but my pc could never run any Dragon Age game so I played DA:O and DA2 on PS3.

I am planning to upgrade my pc for this game. Gonna spend about $1200 that I am saving up for a brand new one. I have a feeling this game will require more power than battlefield 4 to play at highest.

 Low settings I think. Your graphics card is barely more powerful than the 8800 which is minimum for bf4

Above: I think that the 640m is a fair bit more powerful than the 8800, but perhaps I'm confused. Even if not, surely the fact that my other specs are considerably higher should mean at least medium is doable?

Edit: regardless, thanks very much to all people who have shared their opinions. I guess it's way too early to tell, at least I can be certain it will run! :D

@Psearo,
You're bluffing about Nvidia GeForce GT420 can only run minimum settings. With low AA, you can easily raise the graphic details and effects to high (if not highest) with the highest resolution. Bioware games haven't been using much graphic card you know.


The reason for that is consoles. They've held back what could be developed for gaming because of their outdated hardware, and had many games over the years that pushed them to their limits, but barely troubled most gaming PCs.
In other words, I'm not bluffing, as you put it.

GT420s were supposed to come out around the same time as my last graphics card, Radeon HD5770 in 2009 but were delayed due to technical problems until march of 2010, and they were practically the bottom level of the GT400 series.
I couldn't run BF3 (Frostbite 2) at max settings on that card. I can with my current one, and at around 60fps at 1080p.
Battlefield 4 is the first game that's made me consider having to upgrade my hardware for quite a few years.

About FPS, I remember playing Mass Effect 1 on 12-20 FPS till I upgraded my graphic card. 23-24 FPS is movie standard and quite good and normal to watch. 30 FPS is the standard for video games, higher than movie standard.


Fristly, 30fps is the standard for console games, not games in general. That limit is applied because of hooking up to a television set instead of a computer monitor, so console games were capped at 30fps for far too long.
In the context of BF4 (since it's FB3 and DA:I is FB3 too) a higher fps rating is desirable. Disregarding potential lag issues, it makes for a very smooth gaming experience.

Bioware is touting large open areas and exploration. Throw in a lot of particle effects happening very quickly, post processing, shader levels etc, and even on medium settings that GT420 will suffer.
IIRC, one of the small areas we've been told about for DA:I is larger than all of the areas from the previous DA games combined.
They're finally being able to push the bar with FB3.

The whole reason people are in this thread posting their spec and asking how others rate it's readiness for DA:I is because they want to be able to run this forthcoming FB3 engine game, and not have to suffer through poor framerate issues, even if they have to run at absolute minimum.
With the coming next gen consoles, more games are going to come out that will be taxing current low to mid range PCs, because they mid range ones are more comparable to the next gen consoles, with the high end PCs not having much trouble except with poor optimisation a'la CoD:Ghosts.

i agree unless you wana play in windowed mode with like 560p and low setting. Upgrade your gpu.Something chap like the 5670 will do. Youll be able to play a around med-low at 900p then. Any higher and your looking at a cpu upgrade.

Not gonna lie, I actually had no idea. This was a budget build that I didn't even make, I had made a thread on the Bethesda forums asking for improvements on a build somebody here gave me to use. I knew the build was decent enough, but didn't know it was that good.

Matrix Platinum is still a great card and if DA:I is well optimized yes it would play it well but i certainly can't guarantee 60 fps that's something we'll see about when more hardware related info is released, if we're talking AA options like msaa or ssaa no then you would not play it smooth if BioWare is taking PC visuals seriously or you can just buy GTX 780 and clock the hell out of it, great card that overclock even better and have good scaling in sli if you consider that since they have a really good price now after 780ti been introduced.

@Psearo, got your point.
I suppose my GTS 250 is somehow better than GT 420, right?

So I found out that GT 420 is an abomination...

--

Edit: I think my graphic card is doing great:

Bioshock Infinite

Resolution: 1600x900
Graphic level: Very High
Frame rate: usually 25-30 fps (in the flying city), 18 fps when entered a crowded area (where 20 people were).

I examined my Graphic Card with this game during the writing of this comment.

As long as it doesn't take what Crysis 3 needs to take.

I can only max out that game with 20-30 fps.

GTX 760 4gb
16 ddr3
3.4 quad
