is my system okay to run Call of Duty Ghosts

[k9unitj123]

I am not sure if my system is able to run COD Ghosts. Here are my specs

Processor: AMD A8-3850 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Memory: 8192MB RAM

Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6450
Display Memory: 614 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1008 MB
Shared Memory: 3701 MB

Please provide recommendations.

no. you need a better gpu, the hd 7850 maybe.
But you wont be able to play on high.

What's your power supply? a 2GB 7850 or 650 Ti Boost should be able to max the game no problem, just bear in mind that it's a horrible PC port so the framerate is unstable

My computer power supply is 450. Is that what you are looking for?
I bought the game and tried to play, but it is horrible. I tried to turn every thing on low, but no luck.
What do you recommend?
Thanks

Do you have a suggestion of a type of card?

In that case a Radeon 7850 or GTX 650 TI Boost 2GB should be fine for that game

Thanks for your suggestion. One question, what did you mean by "just bear in mind that it's a horrible PC port so the framerate is unstable"

I don't know a lot about computers, so you help is very appreciated. Thank You

Games are generally optimized and extensively tested a by the developer so that the gamer will have a smooth experience.

A bad port like Ghosts would mean that regardless of how good your PC is, it'll still have a framerate which jumps around the place which would mean little bouts of slowdown or frame dips.

Should have asked earlier, what's the exact model of your PSU? or can you look inside your machine and check the PSU sticker for us, tell us the amp reading under the +12v.

Okay, so it sounds like there is a problem with the game too. Why would they release a game with issues? Is there a patch or updates that will be released.

Future patches/updates may fix issues, but there's no guarantee in that as long as they're making money and the game is selling without too many problems. Other CoD games have had performance issues and still sold extremely well so that's a shame.

With that PSU, the 650 Ti Boost and 7850 should be fine, your CPU will limit your performance in certain games though.

What is "Ti Boost"? I found a GeForce GTX 650 2g. will that work? or do I need the Ti Boost. Just not sure what the difference is.

Thanks

The Ti Boost is more than twice as fast as a regular GTX 650

Yeah, it uses parts of a gtx 660

 

[rolandzhang3]

Yep, it's a cut down GTX 660 with admirable performance at 1080p
