Can I Run Metal Gear Solid V?

[ScottMarino]

I have a giabyte windforce GTX 970, an Intel i5-4690k processor, and 8 gb of RAM. I've had my PC for almost a year now, so I don't think over clocking anything right now is such a good idea (I tried doing the ASUS auto over clock and i think my computer almost crashed until I reset it to defaults). Lets just say that when I saw the trailer for this game, I needed a new pair of shorts, so I am very determined to get this game. Can I run it at higher specs at a decent framerate (60ish)? Should I maybe get another 970?

Of course you can run that game. It's very well optimized. Maybe lower shadows or ambient occlusion if you want higher fps, but you'll have no problem almost maxing it out.

And overclocking is very easy. Go into your bios and start off small. maybe 4.0 for the cpu? Then boot up the computer and run a stress test on intel extreme tuning utility. That will tell you whether or not the overclock is stable. If it passes then go into bios again and up the ghz to 4.2. Boot the computer up and run the same test. If it crashes then you need to go into bios and up the voltage. For example (and this is just an example) If it crashes on 4.2 and your voltage is set at let's say 1.19. You're going to want to up the voltage to let's say 1.21 and so on until it's stable. Once that is stable you can up the ghz to 4.4 and keep going.

Most people like to stay at or below 1.35 for the voltage. You should monitor your temps and try not to go above 85 degrees c.

But honestly your cpu is great at stock settings. However overclocking will get you a decent increase to say the very least. Try aiming for 4.4ghz if you can.

Great thanks! I'll try over clocking my CPU, but I only have a 600w psi, so is like 4.0 ghz a safe bet?

Of course. That psu is perfectly safe. You can go much higher

no need

start at high settings, then slowly raise things till you get max settings possible with 60 fps.



i can run it with a mix of high/ very high 1440p


you should have no trouble maxing out at 1080p

our systems are comparable.
