Another thing to add (since quite a few here seems to play on laptops) is that playing on laptop you can go lower than 1080p, it will still look good because of the smaller screen.
Edit: Since this post was directed towards everyone who play on laptops I made it a separate post.
eh, i prefer setting everything else to minimum but leaving the resolution to 1080p, lowering it is a last resort for me
but hey, at these settings

i get 20-25 fps, if i can get the same with DAI im happy
i7 3770k @ 4.3ghz
GTX 680 2gb
16 gig ram
My CPU is probably pretty darn strong and I guess I can wait with upgrading my GFX a little while longer(closer to Witcher 3) since it seems I will have a fairly pleasant experience with this setup going by the recommended specs:)
GTX680 is quite a beast. The downside is only 2GB VRAM. Nothing to worry if you game on 1080p. Anything higher you probably need more VRAM.

Yeah indeed, I really like this card, it has served me well for quite some time and continue to do so. I will indeed run the game at 1080p so hopefully the 2GB will be sufficient!
Hmm I have 4GB ram and memory I think... STILL OUT OF RECOMMENDED damn it lol OR NO, DUNNO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS KIND OF THINGS...
intel® Core i5-3470 @ 3.20GHz 3.60GHz
4GB Ram says memory also... dunno..
Windows7- 64
Will I be able to run this game on medium at least?

What's your graphics card and screen resolution?
Can anybody tell me if my pc can run in on high setting? I'm worried about my CPU ![]()

Definitely not, even running it on Medium seems very unlikely. Your CPU is extremely outdated and you don't meet the recommended RAM and GPU requirements either.. but yeah, the CPU is the real problem - the GTX 650 isn't exacly a good middle-class option but your CPU probably already bottlenecks it.

I don't think you'll get a consistent performance on medium settings with that GPU and 1080p. You'll be able to run it no doubt but might need to use at least a mix of low/medium.
Yeah, i thought so
i definitely need to upgrade my rig especially the CPU, its already been 5 years from my last upgrade.
Problem is, i'm pretty strapped for cash and i'm still saving up for the game itself (it took about 1/3 of my monthly wage, crazy things huh the discrepancy of the standard of living in first and third world)
Is BF4 a good benchmark for this game considering it runs on the same engine? Because i seems able to run it on Ultra with 720p resolution sans AA setting with about 30-40 fps, thanks to Nvidia driver update for Watchdogs back then that seems to reduce the bottlenecking on the CPU.

Seems to be a pretty accurate comparison. Now I have never played or even benchmark'ed BF4 myself but I'm kinda baffled that you're getting such good results.
I'd say just get the game and see what works for you. You will definitely be able to run it and if you don't mind lowering the settings if the game doesn't run smoothly enough, you can't go wrong either way.

Your CPU is fine but your GPU is technically below minimum.
Would my computer be OK for this?

Your GPU would likely do perfectly fine at that resolution. Not sure how well optimized DA:I is going to be but a GTX 650 is able to run the Metro games almost fully maxed out(Excluding AA and Tesselation on Normal) at 1920x1080.
The downside is that your CPU is very outdated and WILL struggle and may even bottleneck your GPU. I'm not sure if DAI will use more than 4GB of RAM so I can't say if that'll be a problem for you or not, I also don't know the speed of your ram, that's generally more important than the # of GB's. For example, 8GB at 2100Mhz is gonna have a more noticeable performance increase in just about every single game opposed to 16GB at 1333mhz.
Now I have never played or even benchmark'ed BF4 myself but I'm kinda baffled that you're getting such good results.
exactly the same reaction my tech savvy friend had when i showed him my BF4 game play. Admittedly the fps dipped now and again into the low 15, but it's not too noticeable. Mostly it dipped when i'm entering new level or when its streaming a particularly busy area, but otherwise its smooth 30 fps.
Thx for the answer aeoncs, if I may ask another question, is DA:I more GPU intensive or CPU intensive?
You will definitely be able to run it and if you don't mind lowering the settings if the game doesn't run smoothly enough, you can't go wrong either way.
I kindda build up the tolerance for stuttering in my game lol. Been playing with shitty rig for about 15 years now, cant even keep up with the tech.
but it kinda sad to play DA:I without all its glorious graphical fidelity

indeed, i can even max it all out at 720p

yeah, that's what concern me the most, i think it already bottleneck my GPU.,but NVIDIA driver update for Watchdog did visibly reduce the bottlenecking. The newer update did the exact opposite though, i may have to rollback the update if that be the case.
how can i know the speed of my ram? i think it must be pretty slow, its still ddr2 ![]()

i think it would be fine, far better than my rig anyway
Thx for the answer aeoncs, if I may ask another question, is DA:I more GPU intensive or CPU intensive?
You're welcome. Usually Offline-games are more GPU intensive (unless it's a sloppy console port) - although that's not really the case for (open-world) RPGs - and games where a lot of stuff is happening at once (MMORPGs, other various Multiplayer stuff) are rather CPU intensive.
I'd say it will be about equal in DAI.

Well if it's DDR2, it's more than likely very slow and not going to help with DA:I. The vast majority of PC gamers have DDR3 now and I believe devs mean DDR3 when they list the RAM specs. I'm sure the standard will become DDR4 soon enough now that it's been released.

Yeah, should be fine. GPU is slightly old but not bad.
Not sure if DA:I is going to be Low-Med-High-Ultra but if so I'd guess you'll be set for mostly high settings.

Ah, it alleviate some of my concern, at least i can rely more on my GPU, I'll rollback to the old Watchdog driver then.
Again, thanks for the answer

I just found the package box of my RAM, the speed is just 800mhz. i guess its a snail's pace compared to newer generation ![]()
Arrgghhh!! how i wish i lived in USA.
tech related stuff is so damn expensive here smh.
thanks for the answer Enad
I noticed a lot of friendly folks hereabout, what a pleasant place ![]()

Yeah, unfortunately 800Mhz is extremely slow by todays standards. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news haha.
On the bright side, the game will definitely run. Your GPU can handle it, it's just not going to run very well. You're looking at med-low settings most likely.
If you're still on this site when the game comes out, I'd be interested to see how the game actually runs on your system. Shoot me a PM if you happen to remember.

I think i'll be here to stay ![]()
been lurking at the forum for 2 years now, even at the old BSN
well, what is today's standard of RAM speed? is it in the 3Ghz range?
I just hope it runs better than BF4, if it indeed better optimized i think i will be able to turn it up to high at least (sans AA and med Post Process)
ah, before i forgot; which is the more demanding game? is it Metro games? or BF4?
my rig able to handle BF4 on ultra sans AA and med Post Process

Standard Mhz for RAM these days is 1866Mhz for DDR3, I'd say so at least. Standard for DDR4 is 2133Mhz, but should be much higher. It's still new so give it some time, eventually ~3000Mhz should become the standard. Just like the standard for DDR3 used to be 1333mhz, now it's much higher.
I'm surprised you're able to run BF4, but in previous posts you mentioned it dips low. I suppose if you're used to and able to stand for sub 30 FPS then that's fine. I assume Bioware will do a better job at optimization than DICE, but I can't say for sure how well it will be optimized. I believe DA:I will be more CPU dependent than BF4. The problem with CPU dependent games is almost no games have options that affect CPU usage, 99% of the time it's all GPU related options. I assume DA:I will be the same way. Hopefully we have plenty of graphical options, that should help you configure more desirable settings for DA:I on your PC.
As for which is more demanding? Hard to say. BF4 looks worse visually than Metro Last Light(And Metro 2033 Redux) but it has pretty awful optimization for high end systems and absurdly high VRAM usage. Both Metro games have been fairly well optimized. I don't own BF4 and haven't tested it on enough systems to give you a truthful and accurate response to that question, but if I had to guess, I'd say the Metro games are generally more scaleable and optimized.

wow, that's like triple my current RAM speed. I really need to upgrade my rig, hopefully i will be able to afford decent mid range rig in a couple of years. no wonder most gaming cafe here can only run old game or shitty multiplayer based game, and i'm talking game as old as 2000 - 2003 like battlerealms, etc. only premium grade cafe can afford the system to run newer game, let alone the game itself.

yup it dips to 15fps at times. but i notice its always on the same spot everytime, otherwise it runs fine at stable 30-40 fps even when the screen is full of enemy and explosion. I strongly suspect it is a case of poor optimization, because even if i lower my setting to lowest of the low setting, and even running at 640x480 resolution the dip/stutter spots remain unchanged, while the rest of the game runs very smoothly.
generally speaking, what graphical option affect CPU performance the most? is AA and Post Process relatively CPU dependent? because i notice a huge leap of performance by turning off AA setting in most games.

yeah i also heard about the awful optimization, BF4 also prone to crash last i heard.
Metro LL is indeed a sight to behold
