Can my pc run overwatch??

[yoremi.air]

So, I can't get a new pc until dec so I was wondering if my pc could run overwatch at mid settings smoothly??

Here's the stuff about my pc that I could find:
AMD A4-6320 APU
Radeon HD Graphics
3800 Mhz
1 core, 2 logical processes
8 GB RAM

hi here are the minimum / recommended specs :

Minimum (targeting 30fps):

Operating system: Windows Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
Processor: Intel Core i3 or AMD Phenom X3 865
Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460, ATI Radeon HD 4850, or Intel HD Graphics 4400
Memory: 768 MB VRAM, 4 GB System RAM
Storage: 7200 RPM with 5 GB available HD space

Recommended (targeting 60fps on Medium settings):

Operating system: Windows Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Phenom II X3, 2.8 GHz
Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or ATI Radeon HD 7950
Memory: 2 GB VRAM, 6 GB System RAM
Storage: 7200 RPM with 5 GB available HD space

I am thinking that you will not be able to since you are using integrated GPU (AMD APU)

you can goto https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
select overwatch and it will analyze your computer and tell you what needs to be upgraded to be able to play.

NO.
The CPU portion alone is very weak. Windows will eat up some of those two "cores" and it's likely that the iGPU which is already weak won't have the full DDR3 bandwidth so is likely operating well below its maximum.

If you've only got one stick of DDR3 memory you might be limited to half the FPS or so (hard to estimate). I've seen benchmarks that show how important memory bandwidth is for AMD iGPU's.

Pretty sure you aren't even close to running Overwatch smoothly well even on lowest settings.

What I think you'd find is very roughly 20 to 30FPS on low/medium settings (depends on resolution, DDR3 bandwidth etc) but probably STUTTERS and low visuals.

Probably not. The minimum specs ask for GTX460, AMD HD4850, Or Intel HD 4400. The 8370D is quite a bit worse then the two GPUs and still 33% or so slower than Intel HD 4400.

I don't usually use these resources, but GPUs like these aren't really intended for gaming, so not too many benchmarks to consult.

Oh, I see.
Would this be able to run overwatch? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sv62xG
Sorry if its obvious, I don't really know anything.

Easily. That is a mid/high-range 1080p gaming build.

If you wanted to save some money you could look at a Ryzen 3 2200G. That has onboard graphics capable of running Overwatch, but if you want to try out other games, your build is decent.

For LIGHT GAMING (Torchlight, Super Meatboy, Angry Birds) you're probably okay.

Note you also need to change the amount of memory allocated as VIDEO MEMORY. It shares some of that DDR3 memory so you want at least 1GB (1024MB) likely.

I don't know if you can handle CSGO instead as it's less demanding. Perhaps if you have 2x4GB DDR3 (1600MHz or higher?) you might do okay on 1366x768, VSYNC OFF, FXAA, low/medium?

Follow up:
*I recommend you replace the R5-1600 with the R5-2600.

Also here's how boards compare: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3175005/computers/amd-ryzen-motherboards-explained-the-crucial-differences-in-every-am4-chipset.html

*Note you DID list a B350 board. Good. But in case you change your mind be sure to AVOID B320 boards since they won't allow CPU overclocking.

The R5-2600 will probably do a good job of auto-clocking itself higher than the R5-1600 would. You may also want to investigate DDR4 overclocking to get higher than 2666MHz if possible but I'd stick with all DEFAULT SETTINGS for the initial Windows install.

and use MEMTEST86 to run a full pass of diagnostics on the DDR4 memory (tests CPU partially too) prior to installing Windows. www.memtest86.com
