CPU doesn't support AVX set

[xnavigator]

Sadly I can't run this game: my cpu xeon doesn't have AVX instruction set.

It's a shame, I can run all other games with maximum settings no matter what (I have a gtx 1070 8GB) but since I don't have AVX I can't play this...

It's the first time that I run into this issue with a game...

Maybe is better to specify it in a more clear way in the requirements...

maybe it is better to actually compare your specs with those of the minimum requirements, because a xeon is nowhere near the i5 2500k.

dont interpret these specs however you see fit...

You have internet, use it.

Who would have thought that a CPU from 2011 would have trouble running an AAA open world title from 2017.

[User]

There where Minimum Requirements. If your CPU doesn't match them blame yourself not others.

Thats slightly true. I was able to play the game with i5 2400 (jan 2011) without any problem.

What a sound logic... What do you do if I tell you that I can run basically all other AAA titles out now ?

Planned obsolescence killed your brain

Doh

that not every AAA title is the same...

read system requirements more carefully next time, and stop interpreting them however you please.

Definitelly, assuming they even know their engine is using it.

I am confused about "xeon is nowhere near the i5-2500K" which is so wrong and you seem to generalize Xeon SKUs completely unaware of what X5687 is:

They do not specify AVX as a requirement and some modern CPUs still do not have AVX because Intel is so up their arse with artifical market segmentation.

So there goes your argument folks :3

ah yes, you too are interpreting the minimum specs as you see fit, the fact that the x5687 doesnt support avx is already a simple argument as to why it is nowhere near the i5-2500k.

comparisons don't just lie in raw performance, try again. better luck next time.

if a ray tracing exclusive would come out, and the minimum specs mention: rtx2060, are you going to argue that the 1080ti has better raw performance?

There are enough big thread say you need avx support for this game.

[Seamus]

Your x5687 is below the recommended and lacks avx.

Stop clinging to ancient hardware.

I bet all those modern CPU's with no AVX support have a passmark rating lower than the i5 2500k. Aren't they all dual core pentiums?

One of the best ones on the market, the g6400 on the same architecture as the i7 10700k rates a whopping 5% higher than the 2500k in the minimum requirements. Pentiums are garbage and have been since intel brought them back.

Why would anyone pair a good GPU with an old XEON CPU. A complete waste of money. A PC always bottlenecks at its weakest point. YOU can not get near the performance out of your GPU because the CPU holds it back..
