Hi, would I be able to run battlefield 1 at 1080p on these specs? my PC specs are:


  • CPU: A10 6700 3.7Ghz
    GPU: ASUS Strix 960 2GB
    RAM: 8GB
    PSU: EVGA 600 watt
 
Big issue could be drops below 60fps with that CPU. Even moderately clocked i5s will drop below 60fps on MP and its kinda irrelevant to graphics settings to a point. I'd be wary.

'decent fps' means lots to different people. For this game IMO, 60 is min enjoyable for MP
 


Thanks for replies. To be honest i'm not really bothered what the settings are on as long as it is above playable fps then i'm good.
 


You are greatly exaggerating the required fps. You forget that most monitors out there have a maximum refresh rate of 60 frames per second. And many console games (even shooters) lock their fps at 30, with very few graphically intensive console games reaching 60 and over. If people needed a minimum of 60 fps, then the majority of good looking console games would not be playable.
Playable means different things for different people, but playable is not the same as "butter smooth/unnoticeable frame drops." The general rule of thumb for games has been around 30-40 fps for playability, and higher for better quality of gameplay.
 
Largely disagree. For me, it is very noticeable when fps drops. No, I don't need 120fps. 60 is absolutely fine, and for games like Witcher, 40 is playable due to the nature of the game.

BUT, for fast FPS games, sorry, but locked 60 is a must for me to call it playable. Yes, you can 'play' it with drops, but I find it very distracting, particularly in games like BF. It is most important when you have a lot on screen, then a grenade explodes, causing extra work for GPU/CPU and you drop to say 45fps, and the resultant stutter causes you to miss a shot. THEN its a problem, and given most BF is played online, it does matter.

No where did I say anything about more than 60 fps.
