I wonder what the dev consider ''requirement'' ..  Do a FPS dev think the same way has a RPG dev with what they consider should be acceptable for their game ? Or a solo vs multiplayer game ? Playing with fewer frames per second in a ''slow'' roleplaying game versus a twitch FPS environment ..hmm.. hmmm.

 

Playing at 30 fps in inquisition would feel more acceptable than playing at 30 FPS in Battlefield 4. So what are going to be the recommanded spec for inquisition. Hmmm..

 

What was the recommanded spec for Dragon age 2 ? Released 3 years and 4 month ago.

 

A Quad core 2.4 GHZ. But guess what ? Back in 2011 I played DA2 on the ''best'' setting with a 8800 GT( They recommanded the GTS) and a X2 4600.( a 2005 released cpu. Although it was extremely expensive at the time lol. Like 1000 munchies)

 

So they were definitly talking about 60 FPS. Because DA2  was not running at 60 frame per second on my old pc. More like 40. Which was more than enough for me . (without any AA and with the high texture pack)

 

So if they follow the same trend.. The requirement for Inquisition most likely to be an I7 CPU(quad core) and the 500 series (released in december 2010) and probably around 8 gig of ram ( The norm right now) ..

 

Which mean you can probably play the game with a slower CPU, but lesser FPS ( like an AMD quad core)...

 

RPG tend to be heavy more heavy on the CPU.

 

 

But than i could be totally wrong. Because they don't use the same engine, It also depend of what their consider acceptable and how optimzied their game will be.

 

 

My guess is .. If you have q quad core cpu with more than 2.8 GHZ and a 570 + video card ( or the 480 gtx).. You should be more than fine. Unless you can't play any game with less than 60 fps.

 

 

Don't know what the devs consider optimal gameplay performance (and that is indeed a good question right there), but I know that basically any game that doesn't build on fast motion visuals and pinpoint precision, less than 60 fps isn't much of an issue as long as you're not seeing a diashow (though some people are more sensitive to what they percieve as diashow, blurring the line).

Like I said...I'm playing at 900p so I'm hoping I can skirt by on medium/high even on my 570 :P battlefield apparently can be played on high comfortably ~30fps (Though I wouldn't do that on battlefield. Shooting games should be 60fps) that much for an rpg should be fine though.

 

Though I'm wondering how much of a jump a 770 would be...I can see I can get one for around 400 bucks and I can scrape that together by October but if it's not gonna be a significant boost...

 

The GTX 770 is still one of the best cards on the market. so I think it will be a very high boost for you ;) 

 

It depends ofcourse how your other specs are too. But don't think it will be a small boost. When I changed from the GTX 560 to 680 I noticed a pretty big improvement.

XD true but is it a 400 dollar boost is my question.

 

<- Cheap

 

Especially since most of the games I play are like 10 years old and older XD

 

Though I am very tempted. I might end up going with the 780 if I upgrade.

 

Edit: I'll wait for the system reqs to hit. If they're obscene I'll upgrade.

Yeah, I admit that I'm no big expert when it comes to video cards and stuff, so its probably beter to maybe search the webz for more info. I'm sure there are plenty of reviews and stuff that can tell you more.

I am in the same boat, I know my video card won't handle high/ultra settings, but at the same time I generally don't play games that really stress my PC so I am putting off upgrading unless I really need too so I can get the best deal on parts as well, for they are always introducing new tech that drops the price of what I am looking at.

Yep I really wanted the 800 series to hit so I could get the 700 series on the cheap but looks like I'm gonna be waiting a while for that :(

GPU should be good enough for medium I'd guess maybe high about the RAM is it DDR2 or DDR3? and whats the speed 1600Mhz,1866Mhz etc ? that can have a difference in framerates 

Okay this is what I could gather:

 

Windows 7 Ultimate-64 bit

 

Intel Core i5-3350P CPU @ 3.10GHz (4CPU)

 

CPU speed: 3.3 GHz

 

6 GB RAM (2x2 GB DDR3 and 1x2 GB DDR2 I think)

 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650

 

Display mode: 1920x1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)

 

Gigabyte B75-D3V Motherboard

You'd get some benefit if all your ram was DDR3 also most ram sticks are designed to run dual channel that means matched pairs in short you would be best replacing the ram with a single 8GB DDR3 kit(2x4GB) from a company like Corsair/adata etc its likely the single DDR2 stick is hampering your system and the effectiveness of the DDR3 sticks.

 

I don't know where your based so the included links provided is to a UK company however the part will be the same in your local region also check your motherboard manual to see what the maximum memory speed it supports as alot of the older motherboards only support upto 1600Mhz.

 

1600Mhz 8GB kit: http://www.scan.co.u...-cas-9-9-9-24-x

1866Mhz 8GB kit: http://www.scan.co.u...-cas-9-10-9-27-

 

They come in faster speeds in 8GB Kits(2133Mhz,2400Mhz,2666Mhz,2800Mhz,2933Mhz etc) also in 16GB kits in the same speed categories. pick the one you can afford closest to the maximum rated speed of your motherboard.

 

Edit having checked your motherboard manufactures page it seems these are the memory speeds your motherboard supports: Support for DDR3 2200(OC)/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules

Thanks, I will definetly buy some new memory cards. Also when they finally announce system specs. I will buy a new graphics card too.

Hello folks,

I have a rough idea of what specs are recommended. But it is still a bit vague to me. I need to know soon if I need to get a new system to play this game. I have:

 

Q6600@2.4

8 GB RAM

Nvidia 550ti

SSD

Windows 7

 

Running 1650x1080

 

I'd like smooth gamplay at medium settings. Is this a reasonable expectation? I'd like to hope medium is possible on a lower resolution like 1650x1080. Thanks.

Okay, I hate to be so uneducated about specs, but my friend built my computer for me and I'm wondering if any of you fine people could give me an idea if I'll be okay or not. I usually play on my PS3, but I'm undecided if I'm going to buy a next-gen system or just use my PC. (I'm not even sure what information I need to give you guys! :unsure:)

 

Processor: Intel ® Core ™ i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.40 GHz (It looks like I have 4 of these)

RAM: 8.00 GB

System Type: 64-bit Operating System Windows 7

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti

You're safe.

At 1650 x 1080 medium I think you can pull off 30 FPS most of the time, but I wouldn't be surprised to see you go below that on occasion. 

 

We won't know for sure until system specs and benchmarks come out, but I'm basing that on BF4 performance for that card and CPU combo.

I can recall many years ago having a Dell XPS Gaming PC which had a Q6600 back then it was pretty potent as I said to Lolomlas the speed and class of your Ram can have an effect on your game performance if the RAM is what came with the computer I'd hazzard a guess it likely 1333Mhz or 16ooMhz and more then likely DDR2.

 

I would suggest a processor upgrade to something a bit more recent like a i5 4670K which would require a z87 motherboard along with upgrading the ram to DDR3 if what you have is DDR2.as for the 550ti its passable though whatever you do don't try to run Star Citizen with it I know of at least 2 people whose 550Ti's have been KIA trying to run that game.

 

Heres some option for prebuilt systems if your uncertain about building your own:http://www.overclock...d=43&catid=2475  <------ this one is £702 with a R9 280X and a 2TB Hard Drive selected in the options 

 

or if you prefer the intel route then this one http://www.overclock...d=43&catid=2475 is £551 with a 750Ti or £731 with a GTX 770

I'm waiting for both specs and CE verison for UK,

 

 

Mine is

 

Intel 2500K Quad core (overclocked to 4.4GHZ)

8GB RAM

MSI 560Ti 2GB  factory overclocked

Win8.1 Pro x64.

 

Gaming at 1080P 60Hz.

 

I probably upgrade the video card to AMD R9 280x level,however depends on what's  around in October.

If you want to upgrade anyway, good for you (all of my jealousy!). Though you probably wouldn't need it for DAI.

You are probably right but I've over a  grand spare to spend, so 200 quid video card won't break me,besides will go towards both DA-I and the Witcher 3 so probably worth it in the long run.

Yeah, not easy at all if you only earn 500€ the month, with 250€ monthly expenses for rent, internet and phone, another 50€ you have to save up to pay the studies at university each semester (not including the cost for mandatory books that you can't just grab via library), plus everyday living expenses and considering that everytime I want to visit my family, I have to pay around 100€ for the train tickets AND take off for that period from work, meaning I earn less whenever I want to catch a week or so with family.

 

 

So, all of my jealousy, you know the drill.

Just to address the original question. We don't have the system specs locked down yet. Optimization is an ongoing process and we need to run a few more system test passes at the EA system compatibility labs. Once things are more locked down we will be able to post this information for all.

I would suggest upgrading the processor which will require a different motherboard AMD wise there are the FX-6 and FX-8 Quadcore's however they do not support PCI-E Gen 3 only their Kaveri APU's so at the moment.

 

Intel wise I'd recommend a Haswell part as they support PCI-E Gen 3 either i5 or i7 though it might be best to wait for the Devil's Canyon( i5 4690K and i7 4790K) chips to be readily available as they have better thermal performance and in the case of the i7 4790K is starts at 4Ghz instead of the 4770K's 3.5Ghz and will be the same price as the 4770K.

 

For the Ram I'd suggest 8GB(2x4GB) of DDR3 1866Mhz or above would do you well for a while or if you can afford it a 16GB kit(2x8GB)its somewhat superfluous however it'll make it more cost effective to max out your motherboard ram capacity(usually 32GB) later on.

 

Graphics Card: I'd suggest at least a R9 280X/Nvidia GTX 770/780 that way you'll get more use out of it before having to replace it.

 

No doubt your thinking "this sounds expensive" and yes it is however you do not have to buy all the parts at once, start with the basics like Motherboard,CPU and if requires a PSU carry over your old graphics card,memory,hard drive into your new system to get it running and just swap each part out as and when you can afford it.

thanks for your feedback but my budget never was too much, what better specs than my current one would you recommend for 350~ euros?

Ok I'd put your 350 Euros into a mother board and processor and carry over your Graphics Card, memory etc, I have only UK prices to go on you might be able to get a better deal locally but here goes 

 

Motherboard: 

MSI A88X-G45 GAMING Motherboard

CPU:

AMD A10 7850K Black Edition Quad Core CPU

 

Total Price in the UK from scan computers is £225.89p(282.92 Euro's)

The APU runs at a stock speed of 4Ghz and reviews say it will play battlefield 4 on Medium setting with just the onboard graphics so in the meantime you could use just that or add your existing Graphics Card see which gives you the best performance you might even be able to run Hybrid Crossfire with your Graphics Card and the onboard Graphics. you can add a more powerful GPU later
