Hi, my pc is as follows:

CPU - i5 4440 @3.1Ghz
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GT730 sDDR3 4 GB of VRAM
MOBO - ASROCK H81M-GL
PSU - I believe it is a 500 watt
RAM - 4GB of Kingston RAM (I am going to upgrade to 8 soon).

Can I play this game on at least 1280x720 on everything low even when I get my 8GB RAM? I know everyone is going to say you have a really low-end gpu. I can't afford a new gpu because at the moment I have a limitation of money. Thanks!
 


Yeah just got the ram right now. 8GB Crucial RAM
 


I literally don't have a clue sometimes with games... so I ran the test and it said Minimum pass:35. But then I go to a video and see Far Cry 4 gameplays with the GT630 that is a slight older card than what I have and it runs smooth. So why doesn't it say that I can't run it if the one in the video can run it lol? It says minimum GTX 460.
 


1080p, and yeah everything is maxed. I have the R9 270's in crossfire, but then I realized that there is no crossfire profile for Far Cry 4 yet and saw that only 1 GPU was actually working. Pretty suprised, it hovers around 40fps and jumps to 60 in some areas.
 


You need to learn how GPU model numbers work.

The first digit in a model number is just the generation of the chip. It may sometimes bring significant architecture advances in the chip design, but it's significance other than that is not very relevant.

The second digit in the model number is the most significant one. Thus a 460, despite being 3 generations older, is actually quite a bit more powerful chip than a 730.

If in doubt, just Google Passmark followed by the model number of the chip, and you'll see it's raw power.

I already did it for you though.

GTX 460 Passmark Score=2665

GT 730 Passmark Score=970
