More expensive where I bought it from at the time, mantle support.

 

+ unlike most people (apparently) my negative experiences have been with Nvidia cards in the past and not AMD cards.

 

Mantle is going to be irrelavant when DX12 comes.

I just saw someone on youtube doing a preview of Battlefield 4 with the same graphics card as mine. I'm feeling hopeful now.

 

Well I can run BF4 (25-30 FPS)  in my laptop (Intel HD 3000) , So I think there is hope for almost everyone.

I'm really not interested in a nVidia vs AMD fight tbh. I don't personally care, I'm sure I could have gone with a GTX card had they been more readily available at the same price when I build my system.

 

As I always do, I simply set my budget, looked at what was available for me while staying inside it, read some reviews and made a decision. That decision was for an AMD card atm. Having several mantle supported games like DA:I while DX12 isn't out yet is an added bonus. That's that really.

Here are the specs of my old-ish laptop (a macbook):

Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8700 @2.53 GHz

RAM: 4GB

GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9400M - only 256MB of dedicated memory, but 1907MB available graphic memory

OS: Win7 64 bits



Any chance that it can run DA:I on the lowest settings? I don't mind FPS drops as long as it remains playable. Upgrading is not really an option at the moment...

 

 

 

 

edit: lack of answer is rather disquieting. Oh well.

For those that know alot about tech; Can an Intel dual core with 4 Threads and Hyper-Threading Technology match the performance of a quad-core?

joke post? i7 is quad core and 760 is more powerful than the recommended 660.

Not a joke post. I know diddly-squat about computer hard ware. I didn't know that I 7 is always a quad core.  A co-worker said it was a dual core. I knew my computer met the other requirements, but since Jack said it was a dual core I was worried.  But at least now I know it should be fine.

I wasn't really trying to start an AMD vs Nvidia war, I was just joking around because the GTX 970 is what I have, and because it's an excellent card. At least for my particular card (MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G) it was insanely difficult to find places that had any in stock. and I had to buy one from a reputable etailer selling on Ebay.

 

the R9 290 is still a great card, and will continue to be a great card for a while, I was just poking fun  :unsure:

yeah, your CPU and Graphics card are perfectly fine.

 

I'm a little confused as to what 4G + 8G memory means? does that mean you have 12GB of memory?

so my birthday is coming up and hopefully ill get money towards a new comp, but for the time being I'm using my old laptop...

 

Intel Core i5 2.3 GHz

6 GB RAM

Intel HD3000 graphics

 

Can i even run it on lowest settings?

 

May have to put the resolution to 800x600 or something...

In my case the answer is a big fat "nope", but I'm hoping to badger my housemate into getting me that new computer he semi-promised, esp. since I just finished an editing job and I can chip in a bit.

Performance is really a bit of a nebulous term. The fact is that most games, and standard consumer software can only utilize one, maybe 2 cores at a time, so say you are running a game like say, Portal, a dual core running at 4.0GHz would actually be able to mostly outperform a quad core running at say 3.5GHz or lower, simply because of the fact that the game cannot even take advantage of the other cores.

 

Now, this is only within the same CPU generation, a new dual core, such as a 4th generation intel core i3 with hyperthreading, would outperform something like an old Core 2 Quad CPU with the same clock speed, simply because of all the other improvements that intel has made to their CPUs, like moving the memory controller and PCI-E controller onto the CPU in order to better integrate all the system components.

 

Basically what I'm saying is that cores and clock speed are really not a terribly accurate indicator of true performance, If you are asking whether or not the game can be run on a hyperthreaded dual core, the answer is most likely yes. I can't give you a definitive answer, but if your GPU is up to par, a dual core should run the game just fine.

Basically what i would say to anyone running integraded graphics (intel HDxxxx) is either upgrade or get the game for console. Since it seems like you are planning to upgrade anyway, I would say just pick up the game anyway, then try and run it on your old PC, if it doesn't run, then at least you won't have to wait that long.

 

Personally i'd be interested to know if the game is even playable on an intel HD3000... but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

@Hyperion: Thanks. Will do that

@Larg_Kellein: Mine's a laptop. And I don't think I can upgrade either. The model I have isn't available in the country I'm currently in, so it's very unlikely that the service centers here can help me.

What do you guys think?  :)  This PC was originally purchased as a computer for producing music which is why I didn't opt for a better card at the time of purchase.

 

My friend is trying to get me to jump on a good 750 ti deal when it's available.  Strongly considering it :D

Your GTX 260 is the equivalent to that of a GTX 650.  So it should run fine with a lower resolution and some lower video adjustment.

I know i can handle min specs: but will i be able to get near recommended specs? A macintosh running bootcamp, couple of years old fully built in hardware.

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3470S @ 2.9GHz

8GB of Ram, DDR3.

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M

Only 512mb of texture memory, which really lets the system down.

Thank you for this thread, it's a great idea!

 

I'm fairly positive my PC can run it, but I'm not sure at what quality setting. I could play ESO on high with a few tweaked settings, but did experience FPS drops around Anchors. I can play ME3 at 60fps and it only drops when there's a lot of chaos happening on screen. Ideally I want at least 30fps, I'd love to upgrade but that'll be a while off yet as I want to switch over to an Intel motherboard and CPU on top of a GPU upgrade.

 

System specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6100 3.30GHz

GPU: Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 2GB
RAM: 16GB DDR3

OS: Win 7 x64

Resolution: 1920 x 1080

 

All parts are stock and not overclocked.

@ Scincoides

 

My friend you are ready to rev. that engine!

 

You will be more than able to run solid medium to med-high settings with little to no issues and a solid frame rate consistently at and avg. well about 40+. Only in the most extreme of instance if there is simply too much going on at once may you encounter the occasional "buffer freeze".... but even High end machines can run into those from time to time.

 

Best thing is to certainly take your time with your settings and get the best feel and look you can.. but you will certainly not be disappointed.

Awesome! Medium settings sounds great, and an average of 40fps is better than I was hoping for. I'll take your advice and custom tweak the settings to my liking for a mix of performance and visuals. I'll avoid running unnecessary programs in the background to boost overall system performance as well. Thank you very much for your response Regular Wise Guy!

Ram: 8gb
cpu: intel i3 3220
gpu: nvidia gtx 650 ti

No help? I'll guess I'll have to be more in-depth

 

CPU: Intel Core i3 3220 Dual Core CPU 3.30GHz

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti

RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR3 8GB

Screen resolution: 1680x1050

OS: Windows 7

HDD: 1TB but have 600GB's left of space.

 

What settings do you think I can hit? I think medium is probably the best bet to get the best frame rate but what do you guys think? I have been thinking of upgrading my CPU for a while now.

@ House Lannister

 

Sorry amigo.. I digress a different thread of was engaging an entertainlingly large amount of my time..

 

So, overview..

 

Looks like your GPU is the 1GB variety, no biggie'.. it means that the 2BG needed for running med to high settings will be pulled from your reg. system RAM.. which only means that you MAY encounter some screen pauses during real heavy action (a second or two pause.. like a buffer effect) or if the scene is very details in conjunction with the action.

 

If that is your native screen resolution and your settings match your native refresh rate you should be looking at a solid 30-40 fps rate, if not higher.

To get the best performance, low to med settings.

To get the best visual. go med, and possibly check high settings for any issues that may occur. Thankfully with FrostBite 3, even the low to med setting give you and outstanding set of visuals.

 

Before you go for upgrading the CPU, you would get a better enhancement by upgrading the Graphics card first (and power supply if needed,) Processors tend to only use so many of their cores (and never all of them) but as long as your core operates at the required speed (which your does) you can more than survive on what you have..

 

You are good to go with low and med settings and may even be able to tweak a few high settings.

Have fun!
