I think you'll do fine, I can't say ultra due to the GPU, but I think you'll squeeze out medium. I say this because of the 1GB of GPU memory and the fact that it is a 650 and not a 670 or above
So it doesn't matter that I'm playing at 720p, 30fps and with AA off? I won't be able to play with at least a few high settings? 
the recommended GPU is a 660, is that really a big difference from mine? (I know nothing of these things and I do believe it is, I guess I was just hoping it wasn't)
If you want my opinion, you definitely won't run it on high, but I suspect you can get decent medium quality out of it.
Again, I don't claim to be the end all be all on the subject, but I've built a good number of gaming rigs and I've had to learn these things over quite a few years, so hopefully this helps you
Thanks for the info. I tried it on the website "can you run it" and it said it meets the minimum requirements but failed at recommended. The reason it failed though is because of the 1GB dedicated video memory and it needs 2GB so i am looking into increasing my dedicated memory to 2000 or 3000 since i have nearly 5000 total.

The 660 is the rec card cause it has either 2 to 3 gb vram in it's models. Gaming cards in Nvidia (contrary to what Deltaboy says) are 60, 70, and 80. Nividia always makes 3 gaming cards not two!!!! So a 660 is a gaming card and so is a 560, and 760. It's below that that you find the non gaming GPU's but you can still game with them if the rest of your setup is good.
Your GPU is not optimal however you might be able to coax some better results out of tweaking the game settings and your resolution will help a lot. Bottomline: It will run it and we all need to chill and wait till the game comes out next week and test ourselves and there will be more reliable benchmarks released and youtube footage of how it runs on your card. But I would take anything said here as advice and good guessing but nothing more till we see the game out.

Video memory is everything. It absolutely does help that you run it at 720p with other adjusted settings. Again different setups may work, but playing at true ultra settings will not be possible without heavy lag or drop in performance.
The recommended settings are for being able to play it at ultra settings for the most part. The recommended settings require that 660 card to have 2GB of vid ram as well though. That vid ram is important. Minimum settings get you in the door to be able to play the game period.

Yeah, I guess I'll just have to test it out. Thank you!
What will happen if I try to play with some high settings and my pc can't handle it? Will it lag a lot or even crash the game?
Guys, all my specs are slightly below recommended but my RAM wich is 4GB, do you think I'll be able to go at least medium? Btw my graphics car is a geforce 650 Ti boost 2GB

60 is not one of the gaming cards if I recall correctly. It goes 70, 80 and 90. The 60 is a big jump from the 50 and below, but in my opinion, still significantly outperformed by the 70, 80 and 90 (or top of the line cards).
EDIT: the 90s are often given other names but they are still "classified" as 90... case in point is the 790 which is referenced as the ti.
Yeah, I guess I'll just have to test it out. Thank you!

I would turn down all aa or just turn it off and test high settings. You'll notice right away if your performance is decent or not. Yeah it will lag or stutter noticeably if it's not going to work. I suspect though that you will find a mix of medium and high will work with some fine tuning. But that's just me talking off the top of my head and we won't know for sure till Tuesday.

In the end, it all depends on how beautiful vs how efficient you want your game to run. You can turn down a few things and smooth out the gameplay a bit.
AntiAliasing, bloom, and other "special" effects, if turned down or off will improve performance, which of course sacrifices the bells and whistles of presentation, but your performance will go up.
I'm in no way saying the 660 will not perform, but I am saying that the 1GB of vid ram will limit you from just choosing Ultra settings. That is all I was saying. I didn't mean to come off as dismissing the value of your video card.

You're just flat out wrong. http://www.tomshardw...g-oc,24326.html660, 760 and the 560 were gaming cards. You are giving out some very dubious info in this thread. If people want or wish to believe you that is fine by me of course but I'll just state my opinion that your very incorrect.

Not incorrect, but you clearly misunderstand what I am saying, and if you like to be more specific about how "wrong" I am, I will be more than happy to discuss it. In the end it can be a "gaming" card, but its a low end gaming card. Not very incorrect or contradictory to what I said.
In the end the information she asked was answered very correctly. The discussion is not whether or not the card itself fits the recommended setup, but rather the specifics of why it won't run things at max settings. How wrong was I with that?
Video memory is everything. It absolutely does help that you run it at 720p with other adjusted settings. Again different setups may work, but playing at true ultra settings will not be possible without heavy lag or drop in performance.
Like I said, I don't want to play everything on ultra, I know that's out of the question, I just don't want to have all the settings at medium, I wanted at least a few on high and maybe one or two at ultra, no more than that.
I would turn down all aa or just turn it off and test high settings. You'll notice right away if your performance is decent or not. Yeah it will lag or stutter noticeably if it's not going to work. I suspect though that you will find a mix of medium and high will work with some fine tuning. But that's just me talking off the top of my head and we won't know for sure till Tuesday.
I actually plan to turn off all AA because I actually don't like the blur effect so I'll be more than ok to turn it off. So that's why I was hoping I could push most settings to high. And considering my resolution is 720p. Anyway, fingers crossed, we'll see.
Thank you everyone for your opinions

Ok well now you're editing yourself which is good. Yes it is a low-end gaming card but that's not what you originally said is it? You stated that only 70 and above in any nvidia series were made for gaming and that was the statement I took issue with cause that is not nor ever has been the case.

I respect that and I clearly always state that I "could" be wrong. Looking back on the 60' card issue I was indeed wrong, but you say they only make 3 gaming cards and that is incorrect as there is a 90 and those are high end cards. Either way, I think we both answered things in a way that helped pinkytwist and that is all that matters in the end

Ok fair enough and you're right I incorrectly stated 3. I hope we helped but my only point here is it's kind of hard to say how people who are just below rec will do yet. It's easy to say what people who are well above or at min will get or who are below. What I have a hard time guessing is what the results will be for those "almost" there.
okay so i just added a new cpu to my machine i should be good to go come tuesday morning.
Out of 4,382,371 memory tests, the size of your memory is greater than 4,215,312.
Mine is bigger.
got better then recommended system requirements and my body is ready.
Also u can install the requirements website desktop clients it works great.

I totally respect that. The reason I am giving the statements and feedback that I am though is because all too often people are below the requirements and trust me the feeling of installing a game thinking it will run like butter to only chug along is a very frustrating feeling indeed and I hope to educate some before that frustration becomes their own. I also was making preset judgements not based on custom settings. Playing with the settings can give a variety of different results and I felt that making preset judgements would help people understand how they could possibly adjust the settings to fit the experience they want. With low end gaming cards that is exactly the situation you will run into when playing AAA games that have all the bells and whistles.
I think our methods are just different, but in the end, I want to help, that is all. I have a strong feeling you want to do the same and that automatically takes me off the offensive as it pertains to you. Keep putting in your $0.02 and if you see something that I am wrong on, please correct me, I clearly understand I am no perfect tech guy, we ALL learn new things everyday.

I agree. I don't know why Deltaboy is saying a 660 is not a gaming card or implies an AMD FX 8350 is not a high-end CPU. Neither are true.
The 660 is getting long in tooth and has some limitations (a 670 is a bit better) but it is a solid card for high/ultra settings (better on some games).
The 8350 has more power than most games will ever use. The only problem with it is when a game is poorly optimized. DA:I is optimized for AMD. (Thank you, Bioware).

I think we've sorted it. It was a bit of a misunderstanding is all.
You're right that AMD cards should probably see better results at first. Kind of hoping that there is an Nvidia driver update at the end of next week.

For starters, look at what I said. When you look at the 660 for example, you are not just saying the 660 is a good or bad card. You are looking at memory, video and all other memory and that is different per card... Stop looking at the surface of a statement before making a judgement about me being right or wrong. I am trying to be helpful. 1GB of vid ram on any card will under perform one with more... simply put.
Why is that getting misinterpreted?
Again, I never said the 8350 wasn't a good card, but let's look at that vid ram again and look at the recommended settings and see if the game will run on ultra settings. For the most part people are asking how high can they run the game, and for the information I am giving, I do not see how I am "wrong" or "incorrect".
Maybe I should just stop posting... sigh
I know my pc is crap, especially the card now, but the question is, will it be able to run DAI at all? It seems to meet minimal requirements, but I'm still kinda worried:
Intel core i5-750 2,66 Ghz
RAM 4 Gb
GeForce GTS 250 512Mb

Good intentions mean nothing when it comes to this topic. Accuracy is paramount. I am sorry if it comes across as abrasive (it is not intended to be) but some of the things you are writing may affect people's choice in buying the game or cause them to become overly concerned when they shouldn't.
It is simple. The minimum and recommend specs are there. If one doesn't have these they may or may not be able to play the game. The only way to find out is when benchmarks are done and released or take a personal risk as a consumer. I need to go back and find your comment on the 8350 which *implied* it may not be that great of a card and again the 660 is a gaming card, another inaccuracy, whether cleared up or not.
People that don't meet the specs should wait to buy the game until more information is available, such as this for Skyrim:
