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.

 

Yeah, in that case I think I'll put in my preorder.  If the specs come out and they're even more than what Battlefield's asking, I'll just cancel.  According to their site, Origins allows you to return something after 24 hours of start up, for a full refund - so in the event that I try it on my computer and it won't play, then I should be able to at least get my money back.

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.

As Aotearas said you'll be fine mostly just upgrade the graphics card to a R9 290/ Nvidia GTX 780 whichever is cheaper in your area along with a suitable power supply you could get away with a 600W though I'd advise a 800W if you go with the R9 290 as it'll give you more headroom which means your PSU won't be as stressed and it'll last longer.

 

I use the same CPU the only difference is mine is on a Maximus VI Formula Motherboard and Overclocked to 4.4ghz Cooled by a corsair H105 though its more then powerful enough at stock speeds(3.4ghz)

Gotta gives props to Origin for pioneering something like this. I hope Steam follows suit, but it definitely makes me a lot happier to be an Origin customer.

I copypasta'd some of the console specifications unedited, my bad. But even so I had noted those 8GB RAM were shared and even if "only" say 1.5-2.0GB of those are available for GPU processing, it's more than that GTX 550 Ti has, which isn't as much funny as it's simply true.

 

And the rest of the console specifications are quite a bit better than the GTX 550 Ti and we have little information as to how exactly BioWare will optimize the system for in regards to PC, so for now my estimations will be pessimistic rather than optimistic.

 

I doubt he'd get 30 fps at 1080p at anything higher than low settings and I personally wouldn't find 30 fps acceptable performance at any rate, though that's obviously up to personal pain thresholds.

 

 

 

edit://

 

What resolution are you playing at?

Knowing that is kind of important if we are to give you some feedback on how you can expect things to run.

 Ah I didn't make that clear my bad, yeah I'll be playing at 1600x900

I have a year old laptop, can anyone tell me if it's good enough? I'd really appreciate it.

 

Processor: AMD A10-4600M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics 2.3 GHz

 

Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (7.47 GB usable)

 

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

 

Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7660G

 

systemrequirementslab.com says that I can run battlefield 4 which apparently uses the same engine? I'm not entirely sure how that works though.

On minimum settings you might run the game at manageable 30'ish fps if DAI isn't hitting too hard on the GPU. And I recommend not using systemrequirementslab.com, it's unreliable at best and downright crazy at times (like saying you can't run a game because you don't have the recommended OS, regardless of how powerful your PC is).

I might be reading too much into this(i think I am) but this is not entirely false in scenarios where someone is using a widely different operating system such as Debian or Mac OS. I mean the different operating systems will handle processes and programs differently. Windows has got some backwards compatibility to it manages to get away with this.

You were, though not for your fault.

 

 

The example I was giving was SRL having said that people couldn't run Bf4 because they had Windows Vista instead of Windows 7 or 8.

And pretty much everywhere else it has the habit of saying you can play it, but not good, because you don#t have the recommended OS, which is of course BS.

 

 

 

It's always best to have someone who knows a thing about PCs, or find the official forum and ask them than trust SRL to get it right.

Ahh I see in that case then it is kind of ridiculous. They obviously just have a bunch of flags that check if something is lower or higher. 

 

No care taken

"Sighs" If I had a pound for every person that asks " I have laptop will run super uber new game Yes ?" I'd be a millionaire by now its like playing Skyrim on Low you can do it but it looks so awful and will be so laggy that you really shouldn't your lap will get very warm very quickly and will likely implode.

 

Excuse me while I go and hit a Punchbag again.......................

 

Outside of a super expensive gaming laptop the answer is generally if its new and pretty then NO! to Quote Sten

 

Don't expect much and even then you'd be better served building a gaming desktop,it'll cost you less, last you longer,your games will look and play better and teach yourself some valuable skills all at the same time.Even a $500/$600 rig will give you better performance then the laptop your currently using and far better then a PS4/XB1

Thanks! That's good to hear. I had no illusions about running it on anything higher than low.

I'm so excited to hear what the system requirements are. Specifically with Inquisition in mind, I updated my PC hardware a few months ago. That way, it's done and out of the way by the time the game is out!

 

If you're new to updating PCs like I am, and need to update the PC motherboard like I ended up having to do, keep in mind to back up your data before updating. Just in case. This was my second time updating (first time everything went smoothly), and my motherboard was outdated enough to where it couldn't process my updated card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 770) and my new processor (AMD FX-8350 8-Core), and my PC wouldn't turn on with the new hardware in. So I went to go update my motherboard, and (since I didn't trust myself rebuilding it all on my own from the new motherboard and up) paid the store I bought my new motherboard from to rebuild it for me. I made the mistake of not backing up my data myself before hand, and when I asked the store PC repair person if they could back up my data, he said he would but forgot to mark it as such on the PC repair sheet. Thus when they re-formatted my PC and had to reinstall the OS, etc, all of my old PC files were gone. I tried using software to get my old data back, but it didn't work unfortunately. This includes all of my old Dragon Age game saves.... Thank goodness for the Dragon Keep!

 

At first I was upset about all of this, but I'm over it now. I'm really happy that I can re-create my saves with the Dragon Keep. Now I have a GTX 770, the AMD FX-8350 8 core processor, a 1920x1080 HD monitor, a fresh new gaming motherboard, a good fan to keep my PC cool, and 8 GB of RAM to play DA:I with! Just have to wait for October 7th! I can't wait to see how pretty everything is.

I want BSN's opinion on Haswell-E. Is it worth waiting on or just go with Devil's Canyon coming out? I know that the Haswell-E CPUs will be on 6-8 cores and will be expensive but I don't mind spending more money for better performance in games. I'm currently targeting a GTX 780 Ti unless the 800 series drops by the time I build my PC. I want to build a PC that's pretty powerful 2-3 years down the road with minimum upgrades until then. At some point games are going to be utilizing more cores effectively. I hope the clock speeds are fast for those CPUs.

 

I'm thinking it might be best to just go with Devil's Canyon because my thought process is you will not get enough gain on performance for the price in Haswell-E despite games in the next few years will want more cores. I also think that even if Haswell-E turns out to be better than Devil's Canyon on performance that DDR4 RAM might end up costing more than the motherboard itself.

Haswell -E will only be of Benefit if you plan on using DDR4 memory and right now that will be as prohibitively expensive as the processor best bet it if your not using a original Haswell ( i5 4670K/i7 4770K) then go for Devils Canyon i7 4790K along with a decent AIO like a Corsair H105 and a overclock friendly motherboard any of the Asus ROG Z97 boards will be good or one of the Z97 Deluxe/-A along with some 2133Mhz RAM in a 16GB kit(2x8GB) will fare you well for at least 3-4yrs and by then the Haswell-E price should drop to a more sensible price.

Go register for the Battlefield Hardline Beta and play some matches on a small server.

 

While both games are different in nature and final specs are probably changing it should give you a rough idea of how the average Frostbite 3 game works on your system, that's probably the closest thing to an answer you can get right now.

 

I want BSN's opinion on Haswell-E.

 

I'd go for 4770K with a nice OC, spend the extra money on GPU.

 

As Aotearas said you'll be fine mostly just upgrade the graphics card to a R9 290/ Nvidia GTX 780 whichever is cheaper in your area along with a suitable power supply you could get away with a 600W though I'd advise a 800W if you go with the R9 290 as it'll give you more headroom which means your PSU won't be as stressed and it'll last longer.

 

Stop recomending overkill PSUs over quality ones, anything more than 500W for a 4770K + 780ti build is pointless as those two plus SSD + HDD + a bunch of fans can't go over 400W, that 3670K plus 780/290x should need even less energy.

 

PC PSUs suck at low loads, by going overkill you are just throwing away money and reducing efficiency (thus more heat to disipate, thus more noise).

 

Well, yes, the AMD card right now are very power hungry, but I think you'd still be fine with an 800 Watt PSU for a 290, so long as you aren't heavily OC'ing the CPU.

 

As for the 800 card, aren't they do next year?

 

LOL 800 Watts... a 290x paired with a i7 4960X @ 4.2Ghz needs ~375W at heavy loads (FurMark/Crysis 3).

 

Assuming no crossfires in the future any decent 500W PSU is better for that system.

4770K is a waste of money and has terrible heat problems most R9 290 manufacturers recommend a 650W PSU 800W is not overkill and 400W utterly pointless unless your running a 750Ti.

Following your advice and getting a 400W PSU means that later on should they want to get a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire they then have to buy another more powerful PSU furthermore they only "suck" at low loads if you cheap out and buy something that isn't even bronze rated. have you seen what a 4570K draws with a 4.4Ghz overclock ? try 200W and thats just the CPU

 

Your either misinformed or giving terrible advice based on a lack of understanding.

An OCd i7 + 290X stays under 400W system load at the wall, this is a fact whether you like it or not (unless you're ready to prove Anandtech wrong that is).

 

I don't see benchmarks and power measures on your post so don't expect me to believe baseless nonsense.

 

4770K is a waste of money and has terrible heat problems

 

That depends a lot on the batch, but even with a bad one you'll get some room for OCing.

 

Stop taking 2500k-levels of OCing for granted, they're not coming back.

 

manufacturers recommend a 650W PSU 800W is not overkill

 

GPU manufacturers recommend ridiculous wattages because they don't know what kind of PSU uneducated consumers will have, they wash their hands.

 

This is system building 101 by the way.

 

Following your advice and getting a 400W PSU means that later on should they want to get a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire they then have to buy another more powerful PSU

 

1 - I did point out that if you want to add a second GPU on the future going for a bigger PSU (650/800W) is a good idea.

2 - SLI / Crossfire is all around terrible, informed people stopped recommending multi-GPU setups like 5 years ago, get on with the times.

 

PSU furthermore they only "suck" at low loads if you cheap out and buy something that isn't even bronze rated.

 

Absolutely all PC PSUs suck at low loads, that certification is called 80+ for a pretty self-explanatory reason.

 

Again, this is basic stuff.

This exactly. I've built machines many times and upgrade my hardware about once a year. Rubios hit it right on the button.

That's what I was thinking. Might use the money to get a sick monitor at 1440p or G-Sync compatible with maybe a GTX 780 Ti. Evga has step-up programs too so that makes me comfortable building a rig earlier. I doubt 800 series will be out by the time that program expires though but at least it's there.

To be fair, five years ago people were stopping to recommend SLI/CrossfireX because it was loaded with issues. Current SLI/CrossfireX is hardly all around terrible any longer (provided the application you use have proper multi-GPU driver profiles, which are usually supplied for all big titles at launch). Right now, SLI/CrossfireX builds hardly have any more issues than a single GPU build and scaling has imprived to the point that dual GPU setups are pretty reasonable if you want a power boost, though scaling drops dramatically with three GPUs and quad-GPU builds are still having problems left and right.

 

Still, for most people that money will be better spend on a higher end single GPU.

 

If someone is asking for basic advice they definitely don't need (or want) a SLI/Xfire with all the added heat and profiling shenanigans.

Reposting this because I didn't hear a response.  I really am clueless about hardware specs.  I know I'll need to get more ram and another video card.  What I have no idea about is if I need a new CPU or mobo.  I want to be able to play DAI, TW3 and Skyrim at a high graphics setting with a reasonable FPS.....  Would prefer to not have to get a mobo, because I have an OEM version of Windows.  I can assemble my own box, just dunno what to buy.

Well to be Brief new mobo,CPU,Graphics Card and RAM if its DDR2

if you want it to last awhile look at a Haswell CPU 4670K/4690K with a Asus Z97-A Mobo would do you well as for a GPU Nvidia GTX780/.AMD R9 290 is more then powerful enough for that

Hard to say really as, I avoid laptops they are not really suited to gaming at least on anything modern, you might get medium settings with a playable 30FPS but I wouldn't set your expectations too high.
