Thanks man! When you say "that rig", I assume you mean after I get the 770? :o

 

What GPU would you recommend, actually?

 

 

I was understanding your post that you were upgrading anyway, so yeah, I was thinking GTX 770 or better when I commented.

 

As for my recommendation, that really depends on how much money you want to spend and how expensive the GPUs are in your area.

 

Generally, I'd say R9 280X<GTX 770<GTX 780=R9 290<R9 290X=GTX 780Ti when it comes to GPU muscle.
 So depending on how those GPUs are priced in your region, the performance per buck value should be your primary tool to see what GPU you're going to buy.

 

 

 

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

RAM: 4GB (dual-channel)

GPU: 1023 MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560

 

Hoping for at least medium settings but it's probably impossible. :P

 

 

Might actually work out for medium settings. Though both the CPU and the GPU are probably not going to offer more than that.

Hey Bioware, official system specs, both minimum and recommended, would be appreciated any day now. There are probably more than a few people that are looking to build a system to play Inquisition and are stuck with their collective thumbs up their butts until you give the official information on specifications

I will get 4 or 8 GB more RAM 'till October, but I wonder if this is enough for DA:I? I have my doubts about the GPU.

Both systems only really fair questionable at the GPU section.

 

 

The GTX 650 (I trust it's the non-Ti version) is probably just good enough for medium settings. And if you upgrade to either a GTX 770 or 780, there's no reason for your system to not run the game at maximum and still boring your PC into sleep.

 

Yeah, my PC HAS to get her graphics card replaced regardless at this point because her current one is actually dying. The cheapest I can get a GTX 780 is $550 AUD at 3GBs, but EVGA does a GTX 770 at 4GBs for $520. Should I just get the GTX 770?

 

I thought the GTX 650 wasn't powerful enough either for my sister's system though and I'd like to get her a GTX 660 minimum to be honest. What settings would that put her at?

I cracked the formula!

July = System Requirements
August = DAK
September = DA:LF
October = DA:I

You guys should have signed up for the Battlefield Hardline closed beta.The requirements for the beta are probably the same or more than DA:I reqs, seeing as i could run it with a good 40fps on all medium settings with AA-deferred turned off, AA-Post processing on medium and ambient occlusion set at SSAO and which would dip to 30fps when levolution occurs, i would think it would be the same for DA:I. Also remember that its a closed beta so performance would probably improve when they release the open-beta and then the full game.

 

My specs are:

 

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

CPU: Intel Core i5-650 @3.20GHZ - 3.20 GHZ

RAM: 6GB

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7750 with VRAM @1024mbs(1gb)

 

People with setups like me shouldn't worry that much, though i will upgrade for this game. All in all, i think Bioware will give us a well-optimized game as Frostbite is quite pc-friendly. Rest-assured that the game will look good on medium for those that have the same setup as me and dont wish to upgrade, and im willing to bet that ps4 and xbone would be only capable at running this game @30fps with the settings being comparable to medium-high. So our glorious master race will always get the long-end of the stick!

Sorry to add yet another request for performance estimates, but I'd be grateful for any input on my specs. My desktop is now running a 780 Ti so that should be fine, but if possible I'd like to be able to play it on my laptop as well. 

 

OS: Windows 8.1 Professional, 64-bit

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3635QM

RAM: 8GB DDR3, 1600mhz

 

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, 1024mb VRAM DDR5

Intended Resolution: 1600x900,

 

As far as I know, everything is surplus to requirements except for the graphics card which, while fairly capable for a laptop, might not be up to snuff with what Dragon Age Inquisition will ask of it. I'm hoping the lower resolutin will offset that and make it possible for me to run the game at least at 40FPS on medium-if not, I guess I'll have to just cave in and buy a MSI Stealth. Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

NONONONONONO

 

 

GTX 780 is MUCH faster than a GTX 770, more VRAM or no (more VRAM is mostly just a gimmick that has no benefit unless you are playing at very high resolutions (1600p or higher (ie: 4K)).

I can support the above statement. The 780 offers far better performance than the 770 in my experience.

I'm out of the loop regarding DirectX, does anybody know if the game will use a version that's exclusive to Windows 8? That happened years ago with version 10 I think and people had to "upgrade" (haha) to Vista.

I generally do NOT recommend ever paying extra just for more VRAM in a GPU, it's basically a pointless number just to attract customers who don't know exactly what they need the VRAM for.

 

 

 

What VRAM is for is loading textures for the GPU to use. However your GPU is still primary limited to how much textures it can process by its other components, the TMUs.

 

 

And at extremely high resolutions, it's less the VRAM that would be the limiting factor than it's the amount of pixels the GPU can calculate at any given moment, meaning how many ROPs you have and what your GPUs memory bus width is.

 

 

 

Or in short, any GPU that can run a game at any given resolution does not require more VRAM, and any GPU that can not run a game at any given resolution won't run any better with more VRAM because the rest can't deal with it anyway.

 

 

 

 

VRAM is mostly a paper tiger. Looks good on paper, but rather unimportant compared to the rest of your GPU when it comes to your actual performance level.

So stick to 2GBs - 3 GBs? I'm only p[laying at 1080p

If you're playing at 1080p, sticking to that range should be absolutely fine.

Like I said, VRAM is the least important number for a GPU, what you are looking for is shader processors, texture mapping units and render output units. The higher, the better. Then comes VRAM and memory bus width.

 

 

 

As for VRAM alone, for 1080p, 2GB is perfectly sufficient. Even for 1440p, 2GB is enough. It might run into a couple bottlenecks with high resolution textures here and there, but it will work. 3GB and more is only really necessary if you're going to play on multi-monitor setups or extreme resolutions like 4K, at which point you need a high performing GPU anyway and those naturally come with more VRAM anyway.

Ah thanks. So assuming I have money to afford a GTX780Ti, I should get that?

That depends. For one, do you need that much power? For the second, is the R9 290X maybe cheaper?

 

 

You have to know the GTX 780Ti and the R9 290X are beasts. They will easily drive your fps above the 90+ mark on a single 1080p monitor provided they aren't bottlenecked by a slow CPU.

 

I'd recommend settling for a GTX 770 or R9 280X if you use just a single, standard 1080p monitor. The next step is less about getting a more powerful GPU and more about getting a playing field where you benefit from more power, for example getting yourself a 120+ Hz frame refreshrate gaming monitor (those cost around 300 bucks). Because using a GTX 780Ti with a single 60Hz 1080p monitor is like driving a Formula 1 car within city limits. Sure, you have power under that hood, but you aren't going to use it that way.

well depends on pricing in your region if a non reference 290X( like the Asus DirectCU II R9 290X) is cheaper then a 780Ti then get the 290X the extra 1GB of VRAM gives you more benefit if you later decide to get a 2K/4K monitor however if the 780Ti is cheaper get that.

If your planing on playing just 1080P then yes however if you can get a 780 for less then a 770 then get the 780

For reference, my current GPU is an overclocked GTX 660 Ti. I run pretty much all games at maximum graphics and easily get 60+ fps (I only have a 1080p, 60Hz monitor, so 60fps is really all I get to look at). I am running Bf4 at high settings only becaue I want to maintain the 60+ fps mark at all times because smooth framerates help with gameplay in a reactionary shooter, otherwise I could just max out Bf4 and still get around 60 fps with occasional dips into the forties on large maps with lots of action.

 

That's my GPU (powered with an i5 3570K and 8GB 1600MHz RAM, btw).

 

 

A single GTX 780 Ti/R9 290X is roughly DOUBLE that powerful. Even if I had the money to buy one of those beasts, it wouldn't help me much aside from minimum framerates since I only have a common 60Hz 1080p monitor. What I'd actually need first to improve my graphics would be a better, 120+ Hz monitor.

I am so sorry to trouble you guys :P

 

So if I can afford a 120Hz Monitor and a 770 - that would be ideal?

I think that a standard 60Hz monitor is fine for a 770. I think that Aotearas was saying was that on a single monitor you'd need a 120Hz monitor to perceive a significant difference (or at least a difference that would make the price difference worth it) between the 770 and 780 on 1080p.

 

Basically, if you want to play the game on one monitor at 1080p max graphics, a 770 and 60Hz monitor is totally fine! :) Only get higher tiers if you're going to get a higher Hz monitor or planning to mod Skyrim heavily.
