I suggest to wait a few weeks if you can. New versions of the 970 and 980 cards will be available soon with double memory (8GB VRAM). 

 

 

Now that's just making me wish I'd waited

 

Oh well. Too late now!

That sounds sweet. Do you know the release date and price point these new versions will be? Thanks for the response as well

 

and @ Regular Wise Guy: Thanks again dude. I Appreciate your insight and willingness to help me out

I don't know if this is such a good idea. Nvidia has been really quiet about this for quite some time, so I think it'd require more than just "a few weeks" of waiting. Besides, as long as the sales are booming, there's really no reason to release the 8GB version just now - not to mention that 8GB VRAM are total overkill anyway and will probably be overpriced in comparison.

 

 

@ I Creep Around

To answer your question as straightforward as possible: Yes, there are quality differences between manufacturers and you shouldn't just get the cheapest option to save some bucks. There are a quite some reviews and comparisons online (just google stuff like "which GTX 970 to buy" or "GTX 970 MSI vs Gigabyte vs Asus") that will help you decide which one to get. But the general consent right now seems to be that the three I mentioned above are the best choices, basically in that exact order, with the EVGA coming in forth.

 

In the end it comes down to what's most important to you: best possible performance, noise, cooling, design, size and so on.

To sum it up:

Gigabyte: Highest performance+overclock and great cooling BUT it's the loudest and tallest.
ASUS: Quietest, but least efficient cooling and overclock potential of the three.
MSI: It's basically the in-between. Almost as quiet as the ASUS, nearly as efficient as the Gigabyte and it's smaller.

 

Overall I'd recommend the MSI Gaming.

I'm an absolute idiot when it comes to PC specs and whether mine can handle this, that or the other thing. Anything hardware and I turn into that stereotypical blonde girl (same thing happens when you start speaking about cars... anyway). Give me coding any day.

 

So hopefully someone can tell me if my PC can handle it.

 

Processor: AMD A-3620 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.20 GHz

RAM: 8.00 GB

System type: 64-bit Operating System

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series

is that dual core? plus am  not sure it will run on a hd 6700   you can get nice amd   r7 260x for  100 dollars that will  blow that  6700 away

Quad core

[Osena109]

Quad core

It calls for  2.5 GHZ CPU for amd  and you GPU is fine you be stuck on minmum settings  most likey on low

[AngryMob]

Hi, I'm not too good with tech stuff so sorry if I entered this wrong but i'd like to see if I can run it, i'm okay with it not looking great as long as it'll play.

 

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU      Q6600 @2.40GHz 2.40 GHz

RAM:4.00 GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX

 

I'm a little worried about my graphics card, but as long as it can run I'm okay with it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you

At least its better than being told I'll need a whole new set up Silver lining

am in the same boat  i3 4130 but my dual core is hyper threaded so it acts like a Quadcore but my GPU is  evga gt  740 sc 4gb card so i can run it   medium if am lucky

Processor is indeed fine for min specs, I looked up the GPU as I am not familiar with nVidia, and it had a review from 2006. It is listed as having 512mb of memory, which is probably too low for min specs. I'd recommend looking for deals close to Black Friday, you can get a very good card for 100$ (or if you have spare money floating around the Radeon r290 is very good and only 300$ and comparable to 370-400$ nVidia cards).

minimum is 8800gt so yea might be time for a new card you can get  gtx 750 ti for 120 dollars now

might those cards bottleneck his elderly CPU? r9 290 is ddr5 card with that old a CPU he is running ddr2 there will be alot of bottlenecking

True, and he also has to be careful about card / motherboard compatability. If you don't want to upgrade everything then whatever card you get needs to work with your mb (upgrading mb means a new cpu is required for sure, and probably RAM as well, so be careful with that).

he should build a new rig at that rate he can get nice rig  for under 1150 dollars US

[Astrojeet]

Here's my rig.

 

GPU:       Nvidia Geforce GTX 870m

CPU:       Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40Ghz

Memory: 16 GB RAM

OS:         Windows 8.1

 

I tested BF4 with max settings 1080p and got 35-55fps with an average of 40fps. Hopefully i can do the same with DAI.

[Monoten]

I was wondering, Nvidia has released this new technology Dynamic Super Resolution for less powerful graphic cards now. Would it also work with DAI?

[Stegoceras]

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE (3.40 Ghz)

12 GB ram

Saphhire Radeon HD 6850 1GB

Windows 7 Professional

 

Minimum is in the bag, Guessing somewhere in the mid-range graphic wise.

Wondering whether to upgrade my videocard a tad to for example a Radeon R9 270X, feel like my cpu can handle just a bit more before getting bottlenecked, opinions?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, anyone got advise whether upgrading my videocard is worth it/not worth it?

Well you can play the game at 1080p with medium low/settings. Your card was released Oct 22, 2010 its approx 4 years since release with your current CPU I would recommend a mantle API  supported AMD GPU (280X is most cost effective, your current card just misses out) as it will help in CPU intensive situations to off load to GPU. See > http://www.anandtech...-beyond-earth/3 it will help in minimum framerate.

 

I would recommend a 280x it has nice 3gb VRAM & supports mantle and should do 1080p without any problems on high settings.

Normaly I play a game and if I then find I want it to run better I go buy better.

[Heresie Irisee]

What settings could this get away with?

 

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6850 (1GB dedicated VRAM)

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600, 3.4GHz

RAM: 8GB DDR3

 

I was thinking possibly medium, would that be fair?

 

Thank you all so much for this thread!

Was that with MSAA enabled (deferred AA setting)?

The 980's are completely sold out everywhere at the moment. The 970's are a good substitute--cheaper--but are also sold out in most places. As for the 8GB, it's possible but you'd be put on a long waiting list well past november 18th, and 8GB is so so so so so so so overkill for any game right now. As it stands you can order a 980 4GB right now and it will probably arrive just in time for the game's release.

 

If you really want to own the game, buy 2 GTX 970's and put them in SLI mode (google how to SLI video cards, it's easy). You can get two outstanding video cards for the price of one GTX 980--and they'll out perform it by a lot. You'd be able to render Inquisition in ultra high graphics with a high FPS.

 

This site keeps an updated list of current retailers and their prices, with very reliable models. I personally recommend the GIGABYTE model, since I believe the EVGA 970 ACX model is an exception, having an issue with it's fans. Try looking for a GIGABYTE 970 sold by Newegg.

Not on a mantle enabled game like this one, but yeah the card will perform poorly on DX games.

Thanks for the advise, figure I got a few more weeks to think it over, read up on mantle and compare some cards and manufacturers before I cut the knot.
