What PC specs works for you?

So many threads talk about what does not work, all the crashes and freezing. But what about what PC build works for you?

 

After 9 hours of play I have only had a single crash, that resulted in a blue screen. Nothing to do with DA:I, it's my fault for using the turbo mode in my Asus MB bios, I'm to lazy to overclock properly. Turbo mode tend to overestimate sometimes so it causes a blue screen of death.

 

But no freezing, no crashes to desktop. No problem with cutscenes, that is; crashes that many seem to have when a cutscene start. I have no fps drop, other than in cutscenes but that is because of the 30 frame rate lock.

 

My system:

 

Asus motherboard P8Z68-V LX, 1155 socket, (quite old now).

CPU: i7 2600k (also old) 3.4GHz OC to 4.4GHz

RAM: 8GB, 1600

GPU: Asus GTX Geforce 970

Harddrive: Samsung SSD

 

That's it.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention that I play with max on all except MSAA is set to 2 instead of 4.

 

Another thing to mention, I play with an old monitor that only allows 1050p (1680X1050), so less resolution thus higher frame rate. Yes I could increase resolution scale but with MSAA set to 2 I don't need it.

Perhaps you should be more specific. Any number of PCs can be made to work by tweaking the graphics' options accordingly with varying framerates.

GTX Titan, latest Nvidia drivers
Core i5 3570k
8GB RAM
1440p

I get 25 - 30 FPS in the Hinterlands on Ultra minus MSAA. I get. 55 - 60 only on Low. I don't have the time to sift through the thousands of permutations to find good settings because most of them require you to log out. Because of all of this online Origin DRM nonsense it takes like 2 minutes just to get back into the game.

I just bought the PS4 version because I'm sick of dealing with this. I might just be too tired of dealing with PC drama at this point. I'm not going to buy a new PC every year and most developers just don't care about PC performance anymore.

People who can't get DA:I to work without crashing can get some help by seeing the specs from those who have very little or no problems with DA:I So if someone have a similar build to mine, one can start speculating that it's not the (as in theirs) hardware.

MSAA seems entirely worthless in this game turning it off I saw no difference with everything else on ultra and frames went up by 30fps that's a HUGE increase for something barely noticeable. Turn post production AA to high and enjoy everything else on ultra.

I'm running a
fatal1ty 990fx mobo
amd 8350 4ghz 8 core vishera black edition
amd XFX R9280 3gb DD
8gb ADATA ram
Seagate baricuda 1tb HD

1080p

R9 280x (sapphire toxic)

i5 3770k

Samsung evo 250gb SSD

8GB RAM

 

Experience problems for a few days, but now I've got it sorted and this is what I'm doing/using:

 

Latest AMD driver released for DA:I 

Mantle

Radeonpro 

That cut-scene fix that unlocks the framerate (cut-scenes look great now)

 

With the above I get smooth gameplay at high settings across the board. 8 hours in and no crashes so far. I honestly think that this is the best looking game I've ever played, and that the hours and hours I spent tweaking settings to get the best out of it is time well spent.

Yea there's a guy that is running only one 980 and on Ultra with MSAA turned off he was getting around 80-90 fps and sometimes he spiked up to 100fps..  He has a video on it.  https://www.youtube....h?v=lu0XRSTRayo

Core i7-5930k

16G DDR4

GTX 980

SSD: 480G

HDD: 2T

Win7x64

 

I run everything on High (at 4k) and maintain 90+ fps in most areas, the only thing I turn off (completely) is MSAA as I don't find it worth the frame rate hit (and barely notice a difference with it off).  So far I have had 0 crashes in 15ish hours of play time.

 

Edit: I'm at work so this is going off of memory, but I also have meshes set to the highest setting to get rid of the awful hair shininess, and I have effects set to medium(maybe even low), as I prefer less sparkly magic effects.

I'm 36 hours in and have had no issues (gameplay wise).  I allowed DAI to automatically pick my settings (it set my textures at Ultra and everything looks to be set at High).  The only thing I've changed in settings is turning on subtitles.  Everything has been great.  I've noticed an occasional sudden drop of FPS in cutscenes but the gameplay itself has been perfect for me. 

 

Here is what I'm running on.

Processor: Intel I7-2600K 3.4 GHz (with 10% Overclock)

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 CrossFire DD3 SATA3 USB3

RAM: 8 GB DDR3/1600 MHz

Graphics: Saphire R9 270 2GB GDDR5

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

 

I doubt anything else would affect things.

AMD FX-8350 4Ghz 8Core CPU

Windforce III OC 4Gb GTX 770 GPU

16GB 1333Mhz RAM

Standard non-SSD SATA3 HDD

ASRock 990FX Extreme3 Motherboard

42" TV using HDMI connection to PC

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate Edition (everything up to date)

DirectX11 all up to date GPU drivers.

Running game at 1920x1080 resolution, every setting maxed including MSAA but I may turn that down or off see if solves cutscene problem as well as trying the cutscene fix switching form 30fps to 60fps..

 

I get noticeable slight framerate stuttering in cinematics/cutscenes and if printscreen to take screenshot cinematics pause for second or two then when continues the VO overlaps and is out of sync between actors for the rest of that part of the sequence. I switched to gamepad since this game was clearly not designed to be played optimally with k/m. Other than that the graphics for the facial hair is disgustingly bad, does not even fit the face as there is gaps between beards and cheeks. I am only 5-10 minutes into playing so thats the only issues I have had that I consider worth complaining about so far but I am sure will be more to come, I have not yet had any crashes to desktop or any game breaking glitches like corruption of saves yet but like said I am only 5-10 minutes into it.

 

EDIT: Okay had first crash to desktop now.

 

SECOND EDIT: PSU exploded last night while playing.

Titans always a bit wonky when it comes to drivers.  It should crush it though.  I'd consider selling the titan and getting a 970, taking the leftover moeny to do with what u please.  

 

Titans are great but the issues....

the drm in place only affects saving the game nothing else you are misinformed... the issue is your gpu the titan is having major issues for all who use it. They are working on Optimizing drivers until then play on high or lower resolution to 100th and play on ultra with MSAA off its worthless in this game

turn MSAA OFF I can not stress this enough I got a 30fps increase and game looks exactly the same! Everything else run ultra and post AA on high. You have almost identical system as me with better gpu it's the MSAA messing with you.

also all cut scenes are locked to 30fps until a future patch due to stability issues this is already known and devs will fix ASAP

Mine is an old system that i built many years ago.

 

Processor: AMD 1090t 3.2 (o.c. to 3.6)

RAM: 8 GB DDR3/1333 MHz

Graphics: AMD 6970 (slight overclock)

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

 

I'm running between 35-50 fps with everything on High MSAA is off though. So far everything running great (bout 20hr in) and no CTD so far (knocking on wood) :)

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention, im running 1080p.

I was not talking about Denuvo. Origin itself is DRM. It requires you to connect to the internet to verify your game. If you try to launch your game and it isn't running, it has to start first. All of this adds a lot of time to the game's startup, which only exacerbates the annoyance of having to restart the game for most settings to take effect.

Playing on High doesn't fix it. Like I said, setting it to Low just barely doesn't even get me to 60 FPS. High would probably boost me uo to, what, 35 FPS? Hardly better. Going down to 1080p only gets me about 5 FPS.

Essentially, I can play the game on Low, have it look 10 years old, and get 60 FPS, or I can play it on Ultra, have it look good, and get 25 - 30 FPS. There really isn't a middle ground, which is part of the problem. Settings that should be making massive changes aren't doing much if anything.

As far as MSAA is concerned, between off and 4x, the difference for me is, again, only about 5 FPS.

again it's not the game it is your titan devs have confirmed this and it's now on nvidia to pull there heads out if there you know whats. All titan users even people with 2xtitans have the same problem and until a driver update your choice is to lower to 1080p or play on low

System Built in 2010, except Video Card and OS

 

i7 CPU 930 2.80GHz, clocked at 3.35Ghz

Corsair Dominator 6GB Ram Triple Channel

EVGA X58 Motherboard

EVGA 780ti Classified Video Card

Sound Blaster Z Sound Card

Windows 8.1 x64

 

I run the game everthing max, 45 to 60 fps, no issues, no crashes.  I have ShadowPlay enabled on video card.  Although I ran Mirillis Action! for screenshots, and it crashed my game at first, turned it off.  They had an update, so it runs fine now with DA:I.

You can use Origin offline mode which doesn't require internet connection.

Although it still requires origin starting first. But it's the same as using steam. So people can't complain about that anymore.

You don't have to restart the origin to restart the game though. That's why I was a bit confused by the Origin annoyance complaints.

I don't really care who's fault it is.  I fault BioWare a bit for not testing with a Titan and I fault Nvidia for not having fixed their end of the problem yet, too.  As long as I can do nothing about it, short of getting a new video card, all I have left is posting on these forums.  How about everyone without any problems go and actually play the game instead of hounding those of us who can't?
