Can my pc run battlefield 1?

[Jesse141001]

Sup guys,
I've been a battlefield fan for a while and was wondering i my pc could run bf1

Cpu: intel pentium g3258 4.8GHz
Gpu: Msi radeon r7 260x 2gd5 oc

Could it run it? Absolutely.

G3258 + R7 250:

Is it playable.............I wouldn't say so.

<20FPS on low at 720p is highly unlikely to be remotely close to 'playable' for most people.

gotta remember that a r7 260x is a solid deal faster than the r7 250. you'd probably looking at mid 30's for fps on your system. maybe a little higher depending on settings. playable for sure but not the BEST experience ever.

Actually, good point! I was thinking the CPU would be a pretty decent bottleneck.

Doesn't appear to be the case:

G3258 + 750TI (so a somewhat comparable card).

Even at 1080p, you can likely achieve medium & ~60FPS with some 'tweaked' settings.

Alright, thanks guys!

the CPU won't be a bottleneck with a card of that class. and it also won't be a bottleneck in a game engine known for being GPU dependent. in multiplayer the game becomes more CPU reliant but the frostbite engine is really one of the best engines out there for graphics vs performance.

Interestingly enough , BF1's own page appears to suggest Quad-Core as a minimum, which is a bit ridiculous if it's not truly called for. Same with the GPU, seem to be overshooting as far as 'minimum' requirements go:

MINIMUM SPECS
Processor (AMD): AMD FX-6350
Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K

Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 2GB
Graphics card (NVIDIA): nVidia GeForce® GTX 660 2GB

RECOMMENDED SPECS

Processor (AMD): AMD FX 8350 Wraith
Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 4790 or equivalent

Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ RX 480 4GB
Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 1060 3GB

It'll be a pretty rubbish experience...dual cores are useless ish for new aaa games now (i3 not included) and the 260x is weak

multiplayer might be questionable although "rubbish" is a very subjective word. so is the word "playable". single player will be ok for sure. it will run but don't expect miracles.

if you compare it to SW battlefront gameplay with that same setup it will be "playable" (talking over 30fps with the right settings toggled) with perhaps a few less fps since it's a newer game. heres a video of the battlefront beta with that same setup with a smaller multiplayer game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uaz7rm7lQng

edit: comparing it to battlefront because they use the same engine, with battlefield 1 being a year newer and some extra bells and whistles added on. granted the youtube guy says a 64 player MP match was a stuttering disaster...but we're talking battlefront beta so maybe that was fixed since then.
