About SSD disc. Is the only improvement this provides - faster loading times? Because that is what a friend told me. Is there other advantages?

[Regular Wise Guy]

The newest Techno-craze for PCs is to covet the SSD because of all the "digital" benefits without all the mechanical hassles of the HDD.

 

In truth, the advantage of that, really only lies in the potential to have your Operating System (Windows, etc.)  isolated to its own start /boot up drive.. thus effectively meaning that yes your operating system will kick in so much faster, respond so much faster...

 

but what does that mean for the rest of all your applications and such? Well, with the OP separate from them, it allows the HHD to essentially do for the smaller apps what the SDD is already doing for your operating system.

 

The advantage, however, is really the illusion of more speed and loading.

An HDD with the newer specs. and especially 1tb and larger sizes, will be able to give you nearly the exact same result.

 

In the end, its a techies build dream... but for most of us awesome and epic consumers (myself included) a little smart shopping saves both time and hassle.

 

I hope this helps.

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!

 

Sweet, is there any specific Graphics Card you would recommend getting? Bearing in mind my motherboard is a Gigabyte B75M-D3H.

Before I begin may I just say I am sorry about your demise! though.. you.. kinda.. did bring it on yourself!

nothing but love for ya!

 

Now GPUs:

 

Given, for example where the current specs. are for games (say, Inquisition for example - recommended 2GB dedicated video memory).. to give yourself a good curve that will last you at least a good solid 2+ years without having to feel like you are paying for it on the same amount of time...

Well its preference and techno geek lip service as to whats better: AMD vs. Nvidia..

 

First thing to look at that may be good: know your budget.. yep before anything else. its good to start price setting so you do not fall under the trap that just because its more expensive it MUST be better..

Now, on to specs.. as of the current generation of GPUs... 

Nvidia - starting from the GTX 780 series, or any from the 900 series (except possibly the top tier ones which will run you a high price tag of possibly well over $600+)

you can get a solid one between 200$ to 400$ that will not only be a monster, but a monster that will last... giving you anywhere from 2bg to as much as 4gb of dedicated video memory (which means less need to pull from your system memory, and thus. .everything runs smoother!)

AMD - Essentially look for the same kind of criteria; I process I happen to be Nvidia minded all the way.. but that is not to say AMD is bad, I'm just more familiar with the other. But look for things like: how much dedicated memory? can you bridge it (meaning potentially link two GPU together for even more power.. Nvidia use the SLI bridge for that too), check that is has good heat shielding (cause you don't want it overheating in your rig)..

 

There you have it..

Check our both their respectives websites, check out new egg and even amazon.com for pricing and such..

with the benefit of your own new GPU (as opposed to consoles) you can change plenty of setting for performance or visual enhancements.. not to mention, well your PC is already doing so many cool things to begin with!

 

Enjoy my friend!

But thanks for the help.

[feelsgoodtome]

Hey guys, I have an "unexpected" question. We have two computers in our household with different processors and all that jazz. I'm wondering if the game could be played on both.

 

Here are specs for the first one:

Processor: Intel Core i3-3220 cPU @ 3,30 GHz

RAM: 4.0 GB

GPU: AMD Radeon 7470 2GB

And the second one:

Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 8x 3.6GHz Turbo Boost: 4.0GHz

RAM: 8.0 GB 1600MHz DDR3

GPU: NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5

I'm not an expert if it's about computer devices, but I can see that the second one has better... everything. I'm rambling, sorry. The point is - is it possible to play the game on both and if not please tell me why.

Thanks !

@House Lannister: Will you be roleplaying Joffey as the Inquisitor? Because that I would like to see livestreamed

[Regular Wise Guy]

@ House Lannister

 

Anytime amigo.. anytime!

 

@ ytrewq88

 

so my new friend lets break this down nice, smooth, fast.. bat-punk techno geek style..

 

- PC # 1 Can it play? Yes. This system only suffers from the fact that your system memory is low (your total PC has 4bg of Memory.. while this is not a sin or bad per se, it does create the effect and issue where if you have an application that requires a lot of resources.. you may notice that at times, it will severly slow down, sometimes freeze all together, etc. etc. Now, because the GPU on that does afford you 2gb dedicated, you are certainly keeping the system memory free to do what it will do while the game is running on the GPUs memory..

    Keep the settings in the low to med. range, maybe play around with high to see if you notice any slowing or clipping or pausing in the action and if so, take the settings back down til you get smooth framerates again.. 30+ fps will be just fine. Even on the low to medium settings the FrostBite 3 engine renders beautiful detail

 

- PC #2 is your bigger gun! enjoy med to high settings across the board and expect very little trouble from a visual or game play stand point. Don't push into ultra settings as you may then experience the issues like pauses, freezing, clipping, etc.

 

So, now that I have geeked out enough..

the answer is yes you can play on both.. just be mindful of the settings on each respective PC.

 

Enjoy!

[feelsgoodtome]

@Regular Wise Guy

What can I say ? Thank you very much for your answer ! it was the most bat-punk answer I ever got.

@ytrewq

 

The first ones GPU is a long way below minimum.  It might well run, but you're gonna have to turn down the resolution and set everything to low.  And you'll probably still get bad FPS. 

The second is fine

What?

 

SSD's excel at random read and writes - most of what's happening at an OS level and during application loads. No spindle drive could ever keep up with one in that scenario.

 

There's no "illusion" about it.

[Tomka_Neiren]

Thanks for this thread! I'm pretty sure I can run the game somehow, but can I expect it to run on my native resolution of 1920x1080 in medium details (enough details to be enjoyable - not screaming "get a new rig" all the time)?

 

DELL 17R SE Notebook

Core i7 3630QM

8GB RAM

NVIDIA GT650M 2GB

SSD

Win 8.1

 

I guess the graphics card is the limiting factor?

[Kais Endac]

I have the Asus G750JX and I'm curious what sort of settings I can squeeze out of the game. 

 

The specs are

Processor: Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz

RAM: 8GB

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770m

 

Now in my (limited) understanding my CPU is the biggest weakness of my system and is the only thing holding me back from reaching the recommended specs.

 

However I usually take minimum/recommeded specs with a pinch of salt especially if its from Can You Run It since apparently I'm not supposed to be able to run Shadows of Mordor and yet if I want to I can run it on ultra (with HD DLC installed) with some minimal frame rate drops. I prefer smooth gameplay though so I've tweaked the options to try and prevent drops.  

[Eledran]

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 

 

Sure mate don't worry.

 

I was doubting between AMD and nVidia too for a good while, but the GTX 970 was 100 euro more expensive from the place I usually buy my parts here in Europe.

Really, no replies? Ok, repost:

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.

Your GPU is a long way off recommended

Hey all,

Im know my pc can handle minimum, but im wondering if anyone more tech savy could tell me how close i am(or over) recommended specs thanks.

Processor Intel® Core ™ i7-3770k CPU @3.50GHz 3.50GHz

@ TheJokeman117

 

You need not wonder, and in fact can be quite pleased that your rig will do the following:

 

Run the solid medium to high settings provided your resolution and frame rate and set properly. You will experience little to zero lag or latency, unless you try to go into full blown ultra settings across the board, but only then you may experience that lag that may not be anything more than irritating (like dial up was!)..

 

Given your solid good specs. and the ForstBite 3 engine rendering excellent visuals even at the minimum / low settings.. you are should be able to enjoy not only smooth game play, but pleasing visuals as well..

 

Rock your inquisition!

[TheJokeman117]

Sweet thanks heaps man, that makes me feel pretty good coz i have had this computer for over 2 years now and its good to see it can still handle some new games on good settings

Amigo.. really? a simple.. "hey bro.. can you help me out!" works just fine!

Especially since Wulfram did "answer" you..

 

No worries, we are all here to help as best we can...

 

Specs: 2 potential problems really stand out in your case, that can be addressed with some suggestions..

area to improve - your CPU processing speed is low. This will contribute to problems with smooth, fluid game play and possible frequent lag. Game breaking or shattering.. No. Is the game playable.. possibly but with a potential risk of issues even with low settings. Essentially you want the CPU to be able to meet the demands of all that will be going on with the game, as well as the PCs own regular processes.

 

area to improve - GPU - that model graphics card is actually a surprise to have such low settings of VRAM, but this you already pointed out on your own and that's good you saw that too.

 

Between the two issues, replacing the GPU with something that would give you the solid 2GB of dedicated VRAM would then allow the computer to not have to use any of its own ram for the games demands. Now with regards to only replacing that but keeping the CPU.. you could get good,steady game play and good visuals at LOW settings, and possibly even lowering the resolution a bit.. thereby taking more stress off the demands.. even at 30 fps, given the FrostBite 3 engine will provide you with a visually appealing game, though you may still find that is too much is going on, it may then lag on you and it may every now and then find that "this program stopped working" message.. (but even I get that some times! one the downfalls of the PC in general).

 

Now in the long run, to really enjoy this title and titles to come, with PC.. you will want to get a better CPU / GPU.. the 8GB ram is solid for really any household PC, but honestly with the cost of new RAM (by some retailers) going up to 16gb, while not necessary, only helps.

 

I hope this helps in whatever way possible.  

 

My apologies for being distracted by a number of ass clowns from different threads..

[Burricho]

If i went down to 900 or 720 do you think i i would get a better FPS?

[Regular Wise Guy]

@ Burricho

 

Is that in reference to not changing any of your current hardware?

 

If so, changing the resolution and thus affecting frame rate does reduce the work load on the PC. When you consider minimum specifications were basically designed to "ball park" the hardware to which the game would function, it really focuses on the trouble shooting aspects of any potential issues like errors or errors codes and what. (but that goes into all kinds of other stuff..)

 

Staying on the lines of your question, and presuming no hardware is changed. There is the possibly you will be able to play on low settings and you can certainly increase your chance by reducing resolution. However, be prepared if you do run into things like screen freezing, or very slow game play... If you find that even at the lowest resolution and settings, you are STILL getting very poor quality, then you certainly know some of your hardware must be upgraded.

[naughty99]

If i went down to 900 or 720 do you think i i would get a better FPS?

Yes, of course. 720p is only 900k pixels vs over 2m for 1080p and around 1.4m for 900p.
