This Is What PC Gamers Need For Dragon Age: Inquisition

strobolt - 4870 is a DX10.1 card.

@Strobolt

No, the HD 4000 series supports DX10, as do the 3000 and 2000 series. You're thinking DX11.

Origins was such a good game. I was really sad when I finally ended it. Doesn't have the replay value of Neverwinter Nights, but the plot twists are so cool... Origins and the awakening are awesome.

I think the system requirements are too much for the screenshot I saw or maybe it's not representative of the finest quality.

 

[beavermml]

i really intrigued by the minimum and recommended spec they always put it.. they also SHOULD stated at what resolution they test with..

is the minimum spec will get us comfortable FPS rate at 1024x768 or what?

 

[Innocent_Bystander]

Sounds like my system is right down the middle of between minimum and recommended. I don't have half a terabyte of video memory, I'll have to manage with 1GB, but I'll do my best

here is what you need internet connection & Xbox console or PlayStation console

get outta here with that pc requirements nonsense a geforce gt8600 can still play this game at 1080p and 30fps. i'm pretty sure any 2005 pc can play this.

with the exception of combat simulators, nobody else makes games for pc's any more. it costs too much and doesn't do as much volume sales because kids can't afford a gaming pc any more and computers aren't as mobile as all in one cellphone.

pc's are dying if they don't go 100% mobile soon

I have been building a part list for a new PC. The kind folks here and on PCPartpicker have improved it, and now it's final. But I still haven't purchased the parts. My 6+ year old PC is still running games at an acceptable level. Installing Windows 8.1 removed some problems I was having (in XP) with the sound card, and the PC now boots in about 10 seconds. I don't think I need a new PC at the moment.

You joking? My 9800M GTS in my P-7811FX would CHOKE on this game at 1920*1080. Maybe at 720p or a little above it would be able to be playable at 30 fps, not at any higher settings even with turning off all the graphical candy.
Hell, in order to play Arkham City on my P-7811FX I have to turn off all the settings in the thing, including V-Sync, and put the resolution at 1280*800 to get even minorly acceptable framerates.

Wierd that the min requirement for the CPU is so high (64-bit quad core) but the min requirement for the GPU is so low. Intense AI or something?

 

[BustaRhymes]

The game is 26GB but needs 512GB of VRAM? how is that even possible?

 

[Labeled90]

I like that the 512 GB VRAM error has not been fixed

 

[The3monitors]

I need fallout4, fallout 4 fallout 4, fallout4, fallout4 fallout4,fallout4, and ham.

 

[ipwn3r456]

So VRAM recommended requirements are lower than the standard, interesting.

 

[The_Icon]

I love EA games on PC, very good optimized versions almost every single time.

 

[xHDx]

"512 GB of VRAM" LOL, looks like I can't use it then 😛

 

[David Whapham]

$70 lol.. I think I'll pass...

 

[David Whapham]

Anyone else think $70 is a bit steep for this type of game? I think I'll pass...

 

[Blze001]

Quote:"... 512 GB of VRAM..." O.O

Bioware to Nvidia and AMD: "Your move, b****es"

 

[smarsrich]

Can anyone tell me if my i5-2500K cpu will be enough for the recommended spec for DAI?
The specs for my MOB,GPU,PSU, and RAM, are more................. than enough for the game, but not so sure about my cpu.

 

[anbello262]

Yes, that CPU is more than enough. It's a very good overclocker, so it keeps up with the latest gen top i5 with no problem.

Thanks for your reply! I also have an i7-2600 (non-K) 3.40 w/hyper threading and 8 cache in another computer that I was thinking of swapping out with my mail computer, instead of the i5-2500K, but if you think the i5 is good, I will leave it as is.
Thanks again!

 

[anbello262]

For gaming, you probably wont notice any difference among those 2 CPUs. And if you overclock, you woudln't even notice a difference compared to i5-4690k!

 

[dhornbrook]

To bad its not April 1st. Because 512 Gb of RAM on video card requirement would be good fools joke. It should be 512 Mb of RAM. Octane Rendering Engine would love it though. Not to mention some of the other render engines. You could load a lot of info into video cards to render at a time. Nvidia new render server doesn't even have that much RAM. Hmmmm . Nvidia Titan Overkill Black Edition. comes with 512 GB of blazing fast RAM and 16 processors large water block. Requires a radiator the size of a small car to cool (not included). Estimated value $50000. Intel is furious because Nvidia builds video card that excludes the need for their slow processors and the buggy chipsets.

I'm amazed at the number of people commenting about the GB->MB typo o.o
