Will Titanfall run smoothly on my PC?

[rnice9542]

Hello,
Just got a huge GPU upgrade, hd 6450 to R9270! Bought Battlefield 4 and it chugs like crazy, even on the lowest settings, apparently it's a very CPU intensive game and my CPU is old.
My question is whether or not I would run into the same problem with Titanfall, I'm hoping not since the maps aren't as big, not as many players, no persistent destruction, etc...
Any insight would be very appreciated, thanks.

My specs are:
CPU - Phenom II X4 945 3.0ghz non OCd
MOBO- I don't even remember, I got whatever was cheapest
GPU- R9 270 2G
4 Gigs of RAM
PSU- 550 Watt Mad Dog

I would run Battlefield 4 and when it starts to "chug" look at your system monitor and see what is at 100%. That will tell you what component is the bottleneck.

Ok, so I ran BF4 with Task Manager up and my CPU was spiking from 55% to 75%, I didn't see a correaltion between the "chugging" and the higher CPU usage. However, my RAM was stuck at 3.82 out of 4GB and my HDD sounded as if it was in a constant read state. I dunno if this information helps at all, the only thing I can think of to help solve the issue is to upgrade my RAM as it was practically maxed out the entire time.

I would agree that you should upgrade your ram. There are different speeds ram comes in. Most common are the 1333 and 1600mHz...although higher speeds are becoming more common. Given the age of your processor, I would guess yours to be 1333mHz, but I could also be wrong.

Now you have to look and see how much ram, and at what speed your motherboard supports. You can check your motherboard specs by going to the motherboard manufacturers website. You can check what board you have by either looking at the actual board and looking for a product #, or by downloading CPUZ and see what it tells you. Here is a link to CPUZ. The download link is along the right side of the screen.

As for the HDD, I don't know enough about gaming specs to know if the HDD could be the cause. I could make a better guess if I knew what HDD it is.

I do think it is safe to say that your CPU is not the bottleneck. I know that no game uses more than 8GB of ram at the moment. So you could just go with another 4GB's and be good. Hope this helps.

Alright, I'll look into getting a RAM upgrade, thanks for your help!
