Does anyone know if an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.67GHz can run Battlefield 1

Hi everyone, i recently checked the website can i run it, to see if i was able to play battlefield 1 on my system, and i passed all their requirments except with the cpu, has anyone any idea if that sites accurate, i can play bf4 no problem, but am not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance.

As I understand bf1 is still pretty new and may need some further updates/patches to improve performance. If the c2q is able to run it at all I wouldn't hold my breath for much more than a slideshow, it's pretty cpu intensive at the moment. Some folks are getting fps in the 40-50fps range using 4th gen i5's which are much stronger than a q8400 and even without considering ipc improvements given the newer tech the clock speed differences alone make an i5 4460 or i5 6500 almost 25% faster.

Here's a brief comparison of the q8400 and a 4th gen i5. More than double the performance over the q8400 in just about every score.

at 1080p you're looking at something like.. 20FPS even on minimum graphics.... Doubt you will enjoy the game

at 720p the game MAY be playable at best... around 30 FPS or lower

^ Resolution does not affect CPU load. If it's 20fps at 1080P it'll be 20fps at 720P.

do you disagree with me on the type of "unplayable" results this person will have?

I personally would not try to play an online multiplayer game at 20fps, but IMO it's important to be aware that resolution and graphical settings are irrelevant when discussing whether a CPU is adequate to play a game.

tHANKS FOR THE REPLYS, IT LOOKS LIKE A NEW PC IS NEEDED, AS IVE JUST CHECKED AND MY CPU IS A SOCKET 775, QUITE OLD I BELIEVE

yeah.. 775 is just not enough anymore. There are many options for builds. Many great budget builds as well. Good luck
