Is my Comp good enough?

Hardware & System
#1

Hi there. My question is pretty much what I’m asking in the title. I don’t know if my comp is good enough to run this game efficiently and while I can find requirements online, I don’t really understand what they mean and how I compare. I believe I found my specs and will be posting them below. I mostly want to know if I should buy this for PC or if I should buy it for my PS4.

I’m sure there’s plenty of useless information in there as I don’t know what’s really relevant, so I figured I’d copy it all. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

That doesn’t show what graphics card you have so I am not sure.

#3

If I’m correct, it’s a nvidia gtx960m.

#4

I think you should pick up the PS4 version.

#5

I’m sure you will not be able to run it without a graphics card, but thanks for all that other info. :grin:

If you look a comment or two up, I posted the graphics card after it was pointed out to me. I’m not very saavy when it comes to computers unfortunately and it’s something I intend to sit down and change one of these days.

#7

honestly you may be better off with the ps4 version if you can do.

#8

This is the exact computer I’m using if this is a more helpful frame of reference to work off of. General opinion seems to be to go with the PS4 which is fine. But just to avoid any further confusion of me not posting the right information.

The problem is your Graphics Card
If you look at minimum requirements you need a Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870
You have GeForce GTX 960M
now you can google benchmarks of these cards, I did it so you can compare the scores
GTX 960M = 2114
GTX 660 = 4125
Radeon HD 7870 = 4357

this can be an orientation
In general I’d buy Desktop PC’s over Laptops anytime since you can easily upgrade if one part is outdated and its cheaper

I appreciate the help then! I’ll look more into that, but if the graphic card ain’t up to it, it just ain’t up to it. I got this laptop last Black Friday cause it was a decent deal and could handle most of what I cared to play on it. This game is a bit more heavy duty/ambitious than what I usually go for.

The laptop was mostly just because atm I don’t really have a lotta space for a dedicated desktop area. I intend to once I can.

I have a similar question…
Intel® Core™ i3-4370 CPU @ 3.80GHz - will it be enough? How many processor cores do I need?
+16GB + GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
Tnx.

Cant say if it will run or not but the CPU is not as good as the minimum one required
I have a comparison between your CPU and the required one here:

IMO… I had an i5 2400… and it was very useful for many years. It is still functional and in store, but was starting to have problems with more ambitious programs.
I upgraded to the ‘top’ chip for the LGA 1155 socket, the i7 3770K for a reasonable amount of money, and can now designate a single thread as out of bounds when starting a ‘big’ application with less performance hit… and a guarantee that a free core exists for other processes to share, even under heavy load from the main app. (Sure I could do that before, but when 6 threads are needed, and only 3 available… a lot of thrashing happens in a single app… but if 7 threads are ‘allowed’ and 6 needed the cpu can process that quite efficiently. It makes little difference to ‘average performance’ but it does nearly eliminate that occasional ‘bogging down’ of the whole system that can last for anything from a single frame to tens of seconds as the kernel use goes high and stays there…

Your LGA1150 socket could take various upgrades, most not worth the candle, but I would look through the list of i7 chips and compare benchmark and cost. Some seem to show a ~30% improvement in average performance for around £200, which I would definitely consider worthwhile… but there are thermal considerations - the current case may be suitable for only an i3/i5 chip at 54W TDP, and you may artificially throttle a fast i7 at 88W TDP if it cannot cool effectively.

This is definitely a case of priorities though… What I would do may not be your best option.

In context your 2 core, 4 thread i3 has broadly similar performance to the 4 core, 4 thread i5 2400 I was previously using… being slightly better at single thread processing, but noticeably weaker in quad-core and multi-core use. (The areas where the i5 was insufficient for me)

GPU and RAM are good.

demo version launched even on ultra graphics… 10 min… crash…
on medium and high settings works well…
I went to do a pre-order :wink:
