Hello again,

one of my friends want to buy the FIFA 17, he tried the DEMO and worked fine, sometimes with FPS drops, quite a lot.

He has:

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K
GPU: AMD R7 240 2GB
RAM: 4GB

He can't afford right now a new GPU, do you think 4 more gb of ram will solve the problem so he can play FIFA 17 on low?

Thank you,
cirkat07.

The stuttering may be from being below the RAM requirements, or it can be because you're maxing out your CPU/GPU (GPU more than likely). You can always take requirements with a grain of salt, the R7 240 is a pretty weak card (I should know, I've owned one), but if it worked in the demo version, you can expect similar results. Fifa isn't a demanding game, your friend should be fine, provided he plays on lower settings and maybe a lower resolution than 1080p.
Here are the minimum requirements from EA

S: Windows 7/8.1/10 - 64-Bit

CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4 GHz

RAM: 8GB

Hard Drive Space Required: 50.0 GB

Minimum Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GTX 460 or AMD Radeon R7 260

DirectX: 11.0

So right off the back you need more memory and a better GPU so 4GB should help but still may run poorly.
