The 8800GT was an astoundingly powerful card for the period.

 

Yeah, but if you look at their respective rankings on places like PassMark or Tom's Hardware, the 4870 is still pretty clearly ahead.

For anyone who might be interested, I'm building a new rig at home that I wanted to rock DAI with (and anything else that I'll be playing). So far feedback from coworkers and People Of The Internet has been that it's a pretty solid setup, so feel free to steal (the partlist, not my actual PC) or use as a guide/baseline!

FWIW, my research came up with almost the same system.

[Kantr]

Well, I guess my dual GTX 680 4GB cards just might cut it...

Can I have one?

 

It is slightly confusing when they change up the numbers (as they changed from 9XXX to 2XX).  The first number is generation series, so yours is generation 4.  The most important number is the second number, so as your video card is a 450, your card is generally not pushed for heavy gaming.  When you hit 460 or higher is when you see better results for gaming for the video card generation.

 

That should make you understand the numbering system for graphics cards a bit easier. ;p

will my 750TI be ok? I rather regret saving the money

You'll be fine

[dch2404]

The oddity is the minimums are

 

Geforce 8800 GTS scores 853

Radeon 4870 HD scores 1375

 

So, what if you're in the middle?  Do we need better Radeons than Geforces?

 

I'd take that site with a pinch of salt, benchmarks only say so much. I use it more for comparing ranks than absolute scores.

 

I myself am running a Radeon 7730M, the only score I can find on Passmark gives me 931. Yet I run Shadow of Mordor absolutely fine on medium settings, and SoM said its minimum was a Radeon 5870, which scores 2610.

i7 is a quad core CPU with hyperthreading so, yes, you'll be fine. That CPU beats the recommended.

 

It does? o.O Huh. I'm surprised since my computer is already nearing its 5 year anniversary . Good to know and thanks to everyone else for answering as well!

[nisallik]

I see. So each generation (first number) has a bunch of models (second number) with the highest one being the better for each generation. Since there are generation 9 cards now too, I'm guessing my card is pretty old.  Still confusing that they went from four numbers like 8800 to three numbers though x_x. But now I'll remember that four numbers doesn't mean that it's better I guess .

 

Yep!

 

Radeon is going to 2XX now - NVidia could be going back to the thousands again.  You could start looking for an upgrade, as with $100 you could blow away your current graphics card in supreme graphical superiority.

[Kidd]

Okay new question: is the CPU okay?
 
Minimum is Intel quad core CPU @ 2.0 GHz and mine is an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz

I believe i7-2600 is available in both dual- and quad-core.

Hit Control+Shift+Escape to open the Task Manager. You should be able to right-click on any open program and hit "Set Affinity." This will show you a list that will look something like:

[ ] <All processors>
[ ] CPU 0
[ ] CPU 1
[ ] CPU 2
[ ] CPU 3

Don't change anything, you're just here to look at how many options you have. If it looks like my example above, with CPU 0 up until CPU 3, you've got 4 cores. If it only says 0 and 1, you've got 2 cores, etc.

Your speed is certainly high enough, so the only question is how many cores you're rocking. 2? Might be problematic. 4? You're rocking.

Aside from the GPU (R9 295x2), that's very similar to the one I expect to build this month.

[Snook]

SLI'd GTX 780 Tis, so I never really had any doubt, but good to finally have them. Seems fairly reasonable, which is good.

The Sandy Bridge line from Intel (the 2600 series) are still really fantastic chips that I know many people are still going strong on. They're some of the best CPUs Intel has ever put out IMO.

[nisallik]

Yeah, it is more than enough.  A current midrange card has nothing to worry about from a 5+ year old card. ;p

Oh, behave! I wish I had that kind of money

[Drifton]

So with my:

Intel Core i5 at 2.5Gz

4GB RAM

and Randeon HD 8570M 2GB

il be ok right?

I think only the mobile line was. All the desktop i7 chips in the Sandy Bridge line were quad core with hyperthreading.

If that's true, which I will assume it is, then the CPU is definitely fine.

[JamieCOTC]

I have to ask. Will there really be that big a difference between 3gb and 2gb for the graphics memory?

Mine has CPU 0-7. Nothing explicitly mentioned about cores.

What a confusing naming scheme. Maybe they would've been better off to drop the Radeon name.

From google, the 8570M results look similar to the 720M.  More than likely will be playing at low.

[Mihura]

 

Yeah, but if you look at their respective rankings on places like PassMark or Tom's Hardware, the 4870 is still pretty clearly ahead.

I have to ask. Will there really be that big a difference between 3gb and 2gb for the graphics memory?

When you run out of VRAM, your computer will place textures (and other things that normally go in VRAM) in your system memory instead. System memory is much slower for use graphically, especially since the data needs to pass more hands internally before it reaches your screen.

It's been a while since I ran a low-VRAM card (I tend to prioritise VRAM size over general speed), but I remember back in the day it was a pretty heavy hit. Others may be able to tell you whether things have changed or not.

Be that as it may, you can probably go from Ultra to High or something and suddenly have great framerates if worse comes to worse.

[Kidd]

Should have put "CPU," yeah. A CPU is a core. I simply remembered the menu saying Core instead but it's the same thing. *updates original post*

[Major Alenko]

I have to ask. Will there really be that big a difference between 3gb and 2gb for the graphics memory?

 

I very much doubt it, I ran Battlefield 4 on ultra that recommended 3gb of VRAM but I only had 2gbs and I pretty much got a consent 60fps on max settings. 

[Falrach]

What I dont understand is why the AMD CPUs need six core- 3,2ghz and the intel needs just four - core 3,0 ?

 

I mean it was said DA:I will support mantle from AMD so this is a riddle for my how can there be such difference..

 

not an PC-Pro actually..
