Can I run Watch_Dogs ?

[Nero008]

Hi . I am very , very excited about the release of one of the most anticipated game in the PC platforms ; WATCH_DOGS . I've been following the game since last year after Naughty Dog announced the game . Now , it's just weeks before its official release , I want to know if my PC can run the game . I want to know what graphics quality can my PC handle (e.g Low , Medium , High , Highest , Ultra) . I want to know . Here's the basic info about my PC .

Motherboard : MSI (MS-7756)
CPU : Intel i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10 GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.1GHz
Video Card : ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT-630 2GB
RAM : Kingston 4GB (6GB Minumum Requirement for Watch_Dogs)
OS : Windows 7

(My motherboard is currently broken so I will replace it with a new one . If you can , could you please suggest some motherboards that ranges from $85 . That's my maximum budget for this summer .)

PS : Please notify me for any parts that can't handle the game even in the lowest graphics possible so that I can upgrade it as soon as possible .

//Thanks in Advance
//Watch_Dogs

You may be able to run it on lowest settings. i3 is fine for this but your GPU is garbage. Get at least a 750 ti.

Lawls . I can't run DDR5 Video Cards because my processor can only use DDR3 thingies . Can you suggest some budget friendly but medium quality videocards that is DDR3 ?

Whats up with the lawls crap? Do you want help or not? And yes you can run ANY GDDR5 with that CPU and motherboard. Educate yourself before you start responding to people. GDDR5 is VRAM not RAM which is DDR3 and what your motherboard runs.

I know the difference between a VRAM and RAM . But what I don't know is if my CPU can handle GDDR5 Videocards because from what the technician said that works on the shop that I bought my PC , he said that my CPU is only capable of running DDR3 Videocards . I told him that according to some articles that I read here on the internet , an i3-2100 Processor can run GDDR5 videocards but still , he suggests that I must use a DDR3 because it's the only thing my CPU can handle . That's according to him .

LOL naughty dog did not announced the game ubisoft did. You need a massive upgrade over your current rig to play watch dogs smoothly.

Well then, he's wrong. The type of VRAM a graphics card uses has no bearing on compatibility with a motherboard. As long as your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot, and a beefy enough PSU, it will support the card.

He may be suggesting that your CPU may bottleneck a powerful graphics card, and indeed it might to a certain extent. If he really meant to say that your CPU cannot support a GDDR5 GPU, I suggest you look for another technician.

As for actual suggestions:

Your GPU is definitely not going to cut it. Consider AT LEAST a GTX 750Ti. Also you could do with 8GB or more RAM, which will greatly improve your general computing experience as well.

Okay , I get it . But can my ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT-630 run the game at atleast low graphics ? Because I really don't have enough budget to buy a new GPU because I only have a budget for the new MoBo and new RAM . If it doesn't bother you , can you suggest some GPUs that are worth buying for at a budget of $115 ? That's my maximum budget for a GPU in the future .
