i7 4770k Enough?

[Matze]

Hello guys. Will be my I7 4770k enough to run this game?

If not what CPU are u recommending for an upgrade?

GPU: RTX2070
RAM: 16GB

[Orion Invictus]

I mean, it'll run, but definitely upgrade your CPU. I had that one with a GTX 1070 (upgraded the CPU, currently waiting for GPUs to drop to reasonable prices), and I doubt it's suited for an RTX 2070.

I don't know what you should upgrade it to. I only upgraded in the first place because my motherboard was about to die, so I overpaid for my new one.

[Akutare]

Before I upgraded very recently to my new 12700kf, I was using a 5930k, and while it was pretty decently playable, I was having the initial launch stutter issues pretty bad but only usually at big load points. After looking at the minimum requirements though, it looks like it could go either way, but you might be coming up short on it.

I have a 4790k, which is effectively the same as yours, just open to overclocking iirc (and lower base clock speed iirc, but it's not a major difference).
Also a 1060 6gb, + 16gb ram.

According to afterburner, my CPU is not stressed at all by the game. My GPU on the other hand sits at 70-90% usage depending on area (less indoors, obviously).

The 1060 in my case cannot hold 60fps in the open world atm. Even resolution doesn't change that. I get roughly the same performance on 720p medium as 1440p medium.

My solution was to use RivaTuner to manually cap framerate at 45fps, and it's very stable with no fluctuations there.

Since we effectively have VERY comparable systems, I think you have a good chance of actually running the game properly (1080p @60fps). Just keep in mind that the performance issues have yet to be patched properly - there are people with cutting edge systems getting worse performance than me, and people with worse systems getting better performance than me.

But your CPU should not be your limiting factor.

[Dank Sidious]

Yes. You will be able to run the game just fine with that. However you should really start considering an upgrade your DDR3 ram is starting to get really out of date by now.

They are both k-line 4th gen CPUs which means they are both open for overclocking.

lol no. its literally slightly worse than the required i5 8400.

yeah no. sorry buddy but thats not the case. I have a 4790k, and i bought it specifically because its still better than the majority of CPUs on the market. its significantly better than a 4770k. both can be OC'd, thats what the K means at the end of it. the 4770k is the low tier 4th gen i7, which while only 500mhz slower than the 4790k, lacks multiple crucial instruction sets.

4770k@4.2, GTX 980@+120 coreclock,+400 VRAM, 16GB RAM@1886 cas9.

Run the game at medium - high 50+fps 1080p. Stutters sometimes in overworld otherwise fine. Fighting dragons in overworld is the lowest fps I get at about 30.

Fromsoft has no idea what they are doing with these recommendations. Don't go saying things like "lol no". If you yourself have as little knowledge on this subject matter as Fromsoft does.

4770k is absolutely enough to run this game. Which is what OP asked.

4770k isn't slightly worse it's significantly worse. 8th gen architecture is far more efficient than 4th gen. So an I5 from 8th gen runs better than an i7 from 4th gen. This just shows how off mark Fromsoft was when listing their minimum settings.

One thing that user benchmark don't list here is that most 4th gen CPUs including TCs only support up to DDR3 ram.

[paulaus333]

Given that my CPU and GPU are slower than yours (i5-3570, 1660 super 6gb) and 16gb ram, I'd say you'll be fine. I am running mostly high settings @1080p and loving the game (86 hours), despite fluctuation between 25 - 50 fps outdoors, 50 - 60 fps indoors. Win 10.

[Touvez]

Hello,
I use a I5 4670k @ stock , a 1080ti and i run at 4K setting around 55 fps. So I would say yes .

4770k isn't slightly worse it's significantly worse. 8th gen architecture is far more efficient than 4th gen. So an I5 from 8th gen runs much better than an i7 fro 4th gen. This just shows how off mark Fromsoft was when listing their minimum settings.

One thing that user benchmark don't list here is that most 4th gen CPUs including TCs only support up to DDR3 ram.

the i5 8400 is literally the bottom tier of 8th gen i5's, and is barely any better than the bottom tier 4th gen i7. especially considering that its ACTUAL clockrate (not the fake boost rate) is only 2.5ghz, and it has a lower l1 and l2 cache than the i7 mentioned, as well as lacking MANY crucial instruction sets, many more than the mentioned i7, because ALL i5s lack them. as for the speed of ram, youll absolutely never notice any difference in performance between any ram modules from the past decade or so.

It'll run yes, but don't over do it with the graphics settings, because you'll be back here then complaining about stuttering.

[Bithound]

The game is not demanding, just badly optimized. 4770k will run it, turn hyper threading on and make sure the game is making use of the virtual cores.

best settings = max settings.

Turning down the settings only gives maybe 10% - 20% extra performance. But the visual drop is much greater than 10 or 20%.

im running the same cpu and it runs fine with my 1070 on max settings

[woodbyte]

I have the same CPU. No, it is not enough to lock 60fps in the overworld, where you will often see sustained drops to 35-45fps, depending on your settings (the big one here is grass quality). It's playable, but if that kind of stuff bothers you, maybe consider waiting until you upgrade.

Your GPU won't be a bottleneck up to 1800p resolution.
And of course, regardless of hardware or settings, you'll have small stutters like everyone else here.

Edit: Forgot to say, I have my 4770K overclocked to 4.3Ghz.

Yeah, my bad I take that back. I just looked up the specs of 8400 and didn't realize just how bottom of a barrel CPU it is for it's generation.

Now this is just wrong. The correct answer is "it depends". It depends on which CPU you are running and what you are doing with your PC. Even with different games you will get different results. RAM speed can absolutely increase performance in some games. You can even observe performance difference in benchmarks with same exact ram sticks just by turning an XMP profile on or off depending what game/program you are benchmarking with. If you think you will never notice performance difference between a DDR3 1600mhz and a faster DDR4 Ram setup you are being ridiculous.
