the http://www.game-debate.com/ site said I could do bf4 medium-high settings which was what I had it at when I played the beta and it ran smooth enough so med-high Frostbite 3 Dragon Age world.. I'm sure it's more than enough for me, especially thinking of how the ps3 version might run.

Yeah, you should be fine. It's not too far off from what a PS4 will run the game at anyway, if BF4 is any indication at least - on the PS4 it's a mix of medium and high at 900p avg 50 FPS.

Alright sweet, that's good to hear.. I'll have my copy pre-ordered here in a few weeks. Though I find it weird as gamestop doesn't usually do boxed pc copies.. but yeah bf4 for me was beta and I was using the weird wonky 320 drivers.. There's better drivers out now, so yea i'm sure it'll be peachy

I actually think it's not that fluffy an outlook. It might work decently @ 1366x768p, but anything from 1600x900p and upwards I'd say your GPU is going to have a hard time. Current consoles have a good chunk more GPU power than a GTX 550 Ti:

 

XBone 768 shader units/PS4 1152 shader units both @ 800MHz vs GTX 550 Ti with 192 @ 950 MHz

PS4 having 8GB GDDR5 shared (!!!) RAM with 256MB memory bus @ 176 GB/s vs GTX 550 Ti with 1GB GDDR5 dedicated VRAM with 192MB memory bus @ 98.4 GB/s

XBone having 8GB DDR3+32GB ESRAM with 256MB memory bus @ 68,3 GB/s + 166 GB/s vs GTX 550 Ti with 1GB GDDR5 dedicated VRAM with 192MB memory bus @ 98.4 GB/s

XBone and PS4 with 48 TMUs for 38.4 texture fillrate vs GTX 550 Ti with 32 TMUs clocking in at 28.8 texture fillrate

PS4 with 32 ROPs for 25.6 Mp/s vs GTX 550 Ti 24 ROPs for 22.8 Mp/s (the GTX 550 Ti actually beats the XBone with 16 ROPs for 12.8 Mp/s, a small victory)

 

 

So the PS4 practically blows the GTX 550 Ti Cyclone II OC out of the water and short of the pixel fillrate the XBone does too and you have to remember those consoles will play a dialed back version of the game (think PC medium settings most likely) at upscaled (meaning not true!!!) 1080p.

 

I'd say it is time for an upgrade if you want to play at higher than 1366x768 resolution.

 

I think it's funny that:

 

1. You listed the Xbone memory bandwidth as the slow DDR3 + the fast tiny, cache RAM. It doesn't work that way.

2. That you listed both as having 8 gigs of RAM, when they only have 5 gigs available to games, and that has to include both game objects and rendering assets, where as on PC only rendering assets need be put into the GPU buffer.

 

I think shader intensive settings on his system will have to be dialed back from a PS4, as likely will texture settings and possibly LOD settings, however he should still be fine at 1080p 30 FPS at settings that ar emuch better than an Xbox 360 and not too far off from an Xbone.

 

I don't think he's expecting better than PS4 settings at 1080p. As you said a 550ti, a low end, two GPU gens ago card isn't quite up to that task.

 Yep I'm not expecting better than ps4 settings at all.. heck not even 1080p(as I dont have the res for it), it is low end gpu, but currently is what I have to work with for now. Lowering shaders and LOD is about what i'm use to doing in the first place.heck even low shadows or no AA I'd do..long as it's running well enough.

I think EVGA has that promotion where they let you switch out cards within I think a few months of purchase. So you can buy a 780 or 780 ti and if the new cards show up within a few months, you can upgrade.

 

Yea but are they still running that program? I usually go with EVGA anyway so hopefully they are. Considering the circumstances it would be really cool if they would extend the program even longer knowing full well that the 800 series was supposed to come this year.

My processor is an Intel i7 860 @ 2.80 GHz 2.79 GHz

8 GB of RAM

64 bit Windows 7

500 watt power 

 

I don't mention my graphics card because it's old and I'm going to replace it. It can still run Skyrim on high nice and smooth, but I really don't trust it to play DAI on high settings.

 

So question is what to replace it with? I was looking into the GeForce GTX 750 Ti but I saw it mentioned in here a few times without much consensus on how good it is. If y'all think it will run DAI on high with my setup without any issues then I'll get it, otherwise can anyone make any other suggestions in the below $200 price range?

MSI R9 270X Gaming can be had for less tham $200 and its a far better card then the 750Ti http://www.amazon.co...eywords=R9 270X

Alright, I have a question for anyone who knows enough about this sort of thing.

 

I have a very old, yet heavily modified machine.  (Dell Optiplex gx280, to be specific)

 

I have Dragon Age: Origins installed on here, and it runs absolutely beautifully.  However, if I were to go on systemrequirementslab.com, and run a scan to see if my machine can play it, it says my machine fails to meet the minimum requirements.

 

My machine completely eclipses everything it's asking for - except apparently the CPU.  However, what I'm confused about is it's asking for an Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.4 Ghz, and I have an Intel Pentium 4 running at 3.20 Ghz.  I'm not entirely familiar with how the classification of CPUs works, but looking at the numbers associated with those two, my first instinct tells me that the CPU I have installed should be better than what they're asking for.

 

Especially considering DAO runs with absolutely no issues at all on my machine.

 

 

I bring this up, because I've compared my machine with the specs for Battlefield 4; and I get a similar test result on that site.

 

This time it's asking for an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.4 Ghz.  Again, I don't know how the CPU classification works - but it still seems odd, looking at the numbers of what it's asking for; compared to the numbers on the one I have.

 

Also, with BF4, for my video card it's asking for Pixel Shader 4 (I have 5), Vertex Shader 4 (I have 5), and 512 MB Video Ram (I have 1 GB) - yet it says I fail that because I don't have an AMD Radeon HD 3870.  But I have an ATI Radeon HD 5570. 

 

What is the difference between an AMD Radeon and an ATI Radeon, and would it in fact matter?  0o

 

 

I don't own BF4 so I can't actually test to see if it'd run properly on my computer.  However, I don't really trust System Requirements Lab, because it keeps telling me Origins won't play on my machine; when it actually runs perfectly.

 

Can anyone tell me if those specs should be fine, or not?

The main difference is somewhat obvious your running a single core processor the core 2 Duo it asks for is a dual core processor, furthermore your computer only supports DDR2 memory which was replaced by DDR3 quite some time ago.While the Graphics Card is better than the 64MB ATI Radeon X300 the computer came with its still way too old for Battlefield 4 on anything like Dragon Age Inquisition.

 

Even second hand you wont get much for your computer so your best bet is to throw it out and start from scratch I'm afraid.

[Kinthalis ThornBlade]

When comparing CPU's you need to look at architecture and clock speed, not just clock speed in isolation. The Pentium 4 is a single core CPU with older architecture and a larger manufacturing process. The Core 2 duo is a dual core processor with more efficient architecture (can get more work done on a single clock tick than a P4). The Core 2 Duo will absolutely perform better on modern games than a P4.

 

Ignore the branding on the GPU. AMD bought out ATI some years back, that's all that is. However, for GPU's you need to take into account not just the generation of GPU (the first or the first two numbers depending on branding), but also the family within that gen (the next set of numbers).

 

Let's take the Nvidia cards as a simple example. The last gen of GPU's are the 600's and current gen are the 700 series of cards. The main "gaming" cards are the 660, 670, 680, 690, the 750 ti, 760, 770, 780, 780 ti. For the most part, you'd be correct that a series 7 GPU is "better" than a series 6 one, but in terms of performance you need to compare similar families, because performance will vary significantly. A 750ti, for example is NOT better than a 680. Similarly, the HD 3870 AMD belongs to a more powerful class (800) in the 3000 series than an HD 5550 (500).

 

Here's a comparison: http://www.game-deba...-radeon-hd-3870

 

It looks like the 5550 has a newer feature set and architecture than the 3870, but, in terms of performance, it's not going to perform as well as a 3870.

Or maybe use it as a streaming box for your TV! Stream from your new PC to it, or maybe invest in an inexpensive small form factor case for it?

 

But yeah, it's a really old PC.

 

Man, am I reading this right... it's a 10 year old PC! With some upgrades,f or sure, but I think it's time to put her down man. ::sniff:: :'(

Yep its a 10yr old PC heres a cnet article review for it last updated 19th August 2004 so kill it kill it with Fire lol http://www.cnet.com/...optiplex-gx280/

[movieguyabw]

Ah, man.  Was hoping I'd be able to at the very least run it on minimum settings.  :\   Mainly wanted the PC version, as i'm sure people are going to figure out a way to mod - even if a toolkit isn't released.  Also have grown rather fond of keyboard and mouse gameplay, over console controllers, recently.  Truth is though, just don't have the funds for a new PC at the moment.

 

Hmm...  oh well.  :\

lol, even if I were to get a new PC, I doubt I'd get rid of this one.  It's been really good to me over the years - and still runs great.

You could build a nice little entry level gaming PC for about $500. But if it's not in your budget, it's not in your budget. 

 

But don't give up entirely. I don't think you're going to get good performance out of your PC on this game, but who knows that Bioware can scale the game down to? It will run on last gen systems, after all!

 

Wait for official system requirements, and maybe we'll find out it could run at 720p  30 FPS on lowish settings.

If I were a betting man I'd bet money it either will not run at all and even if it did run you might get 10FPS on low chances are your computer would just simply fry itself attempting to even load it.

 

I originally had a AMD Athlon II X4 630@2.8Ghz( one of the very early quad core processors) running on a old AsRock N68C-S UCC with a 1Gb Radeon HD 6770 and at best I could get 40FPS with Skyrim on High on 1920x1080 but that was really pushing it hard.Over the past Year I have built up a entirely new system using Dual AMD R9 290's and a Intel i5 4670K@4.4Ghz on an Asus Maximus VI Formula Motherboard,16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400Mhz DDR3,EVGA Supernova G2 1300W PSU,Corsair H105 All in One CPU Watercooler all inside a black NZXT Switch 810 the only part I have left from my old system is the DVD-RW Drive and thats less then 2yrs old.

 

By the time DAI comes out my system ram will be up to 32GB and I'll be looking at a custom water loop for my R9 290's and a 2K monitor I may even upgrade the CPU to one of the new Devils Canyon i7 4790K's so I expect the final Cost of my system will be approaching £3000.

Haha, well, at the moment I'd be lucky if I could afford a tenth of that.  Just not in a position where I can put so much money towards my machine.  Fortunately, 32GB would be so much overkill for what I use my computer for, it wouldn't even be funny.

I know sometimes I find myself sitting here and thinking Holy **** that's alot of money I've spent on a computer tbh I have bought a Ford Mondeo( known as the Taurus in the USA) with RoadTax and a MOT for half of that lol.

 

That being said with me being a Uber Dragon Age Fan( I have all the books,comics and  both games with DLC) getting DAI was a cert for me regardless although I was originally building this rig for Star Citizen to be played at 2K/4K hence the eye watering expense lol on the bright side barring a major component failure I won't have to replace anything for at least 3-4years and still be able to play in 1080P

[Kidd]

My system is a:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K "Haswell" @ 3.4GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (dunno how fast)
GPU: nVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti

From what I can tell I'm quite set in every area but the GPU, right? Or am I overestimating my CPU? If I save my money carefully until release, I should be able to afford an AMD R9 290 and a new power supply to run it all (cause a 290 will probably eat tons more power than my GTX 560) just in time for Inquisition. Is it likely I could run the game at somewhat high settings then, you think?

The Battlefield Hardline beta doesn't run all that pretty on my current machine. I get 25-50fps depending on what's going on, pretty much. And while I'm fine with a console 30, an almost constant console 30 is much nicer to the eyes than a flickering 25-50 on PC. BF:HL didn't seem to have a FPS limiting feature, so I'm assuming DAI won't have one either.
