I'm about to replace my GTX 580, still waiting until for the Nvidia conference to see if they have something interesting to offer.  Otherwise I'll go with a Radeon R9 290.

 

I'll gladly switch to AMD for the R9 290 when it beats the GTX 780 and also happens to be less expensive.

I'm personally hoping my 580 will be enough, because I'm not currently in a position to get a new GPU. Gotta spend that money to replace my 5 1/2 year-old laptop soon.

As for the cards, From what I've seen the 780 benches slightly higher than the 290. It's not that significant either way, though. Also, while the 290s are cheaper overall, I found a 780 on Newegg that could be had for about the same price, had better reviews than the AMD cards, and came with the upcoming Borderlands pre-sequel. So really you can go either way and it will all come out about the same in the end.

I'm positive a GTX 580 will be enough for games such as Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3, but I need an upgrade because I'm playing games on 2560x1440 resolution. 

 

I've mostly been looking at the 1440p benchmarks, and while the GTX 780 and R9 290 do seem to be neck-in-neck with each other, the R9 290 does seem to edge out a bit there with most games.  4GB over 3GB of memory also gives me more incentive to get a 290 for things like modded Skyrim.

 

I personally don't really care for games that get bundled with cards, but they are a nice bonus of course. That being said, I know that AMD has this 'Gaming Evolved' program that gives you 3 free games with a R9 card, including the upcoming Alien: Isolation.

Good enough for DA: Inquisition?

While the ram is overkil with that GPU you are going to struggle as it only has 1GB of Vram you should be looking at a 2GB card minimun 3GB-4GB GPU ideally

I currently have a single Powercolor PCS+OC R9 290 its a 2.5 slot monster that runs even Star Citizen on Very High in its current unoptimized state and has not dipped below 60FPS hottest it has ever got is 71C and unlike alot of the other cards the fan shroud is made of Aluminum instead of plastic and has a full backplate,.GPU is clocked at 1040Mhz Vram at 5400Mhz,by the end of this month I'll have a second one in.

 

Don't know what prices are for you where you are but here in the UK right now overclockers have it on a deal at under £300 and along with the 3 free games you get with the "never settle" bundle you also get a 8GB 2400Mhz AMD Ram kit thrown in.I have included a link http://www.overclock...=56&subcat=1752

I'm honestly kinda worried about Witcher 3. They seem to like to push things a little. I guess I'll find out in February though.

And that makes sense if you want to do stuff like that. Although is it necessary for Skyrim specifically? I used a bunch of mods and did fine at max with just 1.5GB. Regardless, I don't intend to worry about comparisons for another couple years when I replace everything.

[RifuloftheWest]

Not specifically about DAI system requirements but not completely unrelated either, I was hoping one of the devs that have previously commented can tell us if DAI will use AVX instruction sets?

 

I'm sure there are many PC users out there with overclocked Haswell CPUs using adaptive voltage mode (myself included) that would want to avoid any potential over volting that AVX can cause. I realize not very many games (or common programs) utilitze AVX instruction sets but I had heard Grid 2 will be one of those rarities. Although the likelihood is low DAI will use AVX, I just wanted to be sure and hope a dev can chime in on this.

I think you'll manage as long as you disable some of the ridiculous graphical options, a GTX 580 should be able to handle it at medium to high settings. But I know that they're developing the game with a lot of Nvidia features, so going with an AMD card might not be the best solution for that game. 

 

I know a lot of mods and ENBs of Skyrim just chew through video memory, and games like Watch Dogs do the same. I'd rather have the additional gigabyte of memory that the R9 290 offers over the GTX 780 for things like that.

I'm in the Netherlands, and the R9 290 I've been looking at is the Club3D royalAce variant. Seems to be quite similar in design to that one, and also comes with a backplate. It's priced at €350.

Still nothing on system requirements?

 

This is the system I am looking to build.  I want to play at the absolute optimal graphics/textures.

 

AMD FX-6350 (6 Core) (3.9GHz) (6 MB Cache) (liquid cooling/extra chasis fans)

FX Series CPU Compatible - ASUS Crosshair V Formula 990FX (AMD 990FX Chipset)

32GB DDR3 2133MHz

1x SSD (250GB or 500GB Samsung 840 EVO) (actually 2, but mirroring)

2x CrossFire Dual (AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB)

 

Also considering the Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition LED Monitor (4K res)

 

Thoughts on this doing the trick? Advice?  I'd like to get this ordered in the next couple days.

This is a pre-built system right? The specs are all over the place.

 

1. CPU is a bit weak, get an Intel i5 4690k or an FX 8350.

 

2. You really don't need 32 GB of RAM unless you're doing heavy duty rendering, 16 GB or even 8 is more than enough.

 

3. Best to get an HDD to store files as well.

 

4. GPU selection is okay I guess but you're not going to be able to max out everything at 4K. 

[UniformGreyColor]

Num 4. From what I understand 4k takes up lots of VRAM.

[Lee80]

Wow, some of you have some seriously monster pimped out pc's for the game.  I'd be shocked if the game really requires that much investment, but still always nice to have a machine that meets future needs I suppose.  I'm so glad I'm not a pc gamer, way too chaotic and expensive.  

 

On the other front, I'm surprised they haven't released the requirements yet.  I thought they were just bug squashing at this point?  They should know what's what on all other fronts by now.

It's not pre-built...I can build it however I want, but I have a 3K budget.

 

I'm impartial to AMD due to cost plus performance, but am curious why you suggest the I5 4690 when it's 4 core 3.5 Ghz vs. my 6 core 3.9 Ghz?  Intel chips add about 500-800 to cost and have never really notice any difference between the various AMD/Intel machines I have owned over the years.

 

The RAM is also for work purposes but good to know 8-16 GB is fine.

 

Clarify not maxing out at 4K...and recommended card to get me where I want?  Or am I just better off running at 2560 x 1440?

Well I'd always been a AMD fan(will have 2 R9 290's by end of the month) generally speaking the Intel proceesors have stronger individual cores and dont get as hot when overclocked(my i5 4670K is running@4.4Ghz) and does not go above 67C while its cooled by my Corsair H105,also the AMD processors do not support PCI-E gen 3( exception being the Kaveri APU's) where as the intel CPU's(Haswell onwards) do.

 

When it comes to the monitor you are looking at its ok only problems are that the stand is quite weak and unsupportive and it has no VESA mount to allow you to use anything else,you'd be better off with the Asus model though Tbh with 2 280's you wont be able to run games maxed out at 4K as even with 2 R9 290 you'd be looking at 30FPS at best,personally I'm going for 2K and I'd advise you do likewise

I'd be shocked too, since the game still has to run on last-gen consoles.

While my computer broke down recently, I've been using systemrequirementslab to try and check my own hardware by checking the requirements for my most advanced games. (I used to be rather casual about hardware, until I became a fan of DA last year)

 

I think the only thing that needs to be upgraded is the RAM. (mine's probably 2 GB)

Although the likelihood is low DAI will use AVX, I just wanted to be sure and hope a dev can chime in on this.

 

I've never heard of AVX affecting over volting at all. It might cause some issues in terms of bench marking since some stress tests use it a lot more heavily than a real world application would, and the chip will underclock if it gets close to TDP, but that's about it.

 

I wouldn't worry about it.

Why would you go with an AMD CPU system?

 

For a build intended for 4K I'd definitely go with an intel based one. Mantle, DX12 and OPenGL+ might make that AMD CPU go a lot further in the future, but when intel is significantly faster, who cares?

 

I would also recommend 4GB for your GPU's if you are looking at 4K resolution. Which is also why I'd recommend you don't waste your money on trying to achieve 4K now.

 

Wait till end of 2015/early 2016. 4K Monitor/TV's will have more features (Gsync will be critical for 4K, IMHO) and will be cheaper, and there will be more options (I'm personally looking forward to a 3K 21:9 inch monitor vs a 4K 16:9). GPU hardware will also be a lot more powerful and cheaper.

RAM or VRAM? There is a huge difference there. For most practical purposes 8GB of RAM will be more than enough for the average gamer and 2GB of VRAM seems to be an adequate amount at this point.

If you play e.g. a modded Skyrim with HighRes textures and Flora Overhaul, 2GB is the bottom limit.

Checking back in. I thought the specs would be up by now. If nothing else I can play on the Xbox360. However as someone was nice enough to point out in July, I should be ok. This is nerve wracking.
