Can I run it?

My PC specs (I know i need serious upgrades):

i5-6500 @ 3.20 GHz
16 GBs (DDR4)
GTX 1060 6 GBs
Windows 10 64 bit

I know I meet almost everything except CPU by 100 (game requires i5-6600). And I would upgrade my hardware, but not been able to cause not affordable for me.

Also, assuming I can, whats the most likely FPS? I generally don't care about quality, only performance & gameplay. Obviously I'll be playing it at very low settings.

My GPU is a tad lower than yours (4GB 1050ti) and my CPU is an old i7 4770k, and also 16GB RAM. I play on high settings pretty smoothly, never noticed any performance issues.

But in the age of social media bloat, monetisation schemes and data piracy, PC specs is not the only factor, what you use your PC for also plays a part.

You can, but the experience will be far from great.

I ran it on i5-3570K with GTX 1080 and completed the game a few times with everything set to minimum.

Upgrading to Ryzen 7700 was a massive improvement and made it run very smooth.

Dropping the resolution from 1440p to 1080p did basically nothing to improve performance.

The game is heavily CPU bound, so while your CPU is better than mine was back in the day, it's still an older one, so my guesstimate is 40-45 FPS at most. With drops to 25-30 in certain locations where there are environmental hazards or rain.

I would also straight up forget about PvP if I were in your shoes, as the game requires very precise timing to win reliably, and that requires both low ping AND adequate hardware.

Final advice: try to afford the hardware upgrade by May, as that is very likely the date when the next major content update drops, and only then buy the game, unless it's like on a Spring sale or smth.

No worries about PVP as I have no interest in that side of it. Most games I prefer singleplayer, even in mmos I tend to go solo.

Overall quality doesn't matter to me all that much, if I can I'll turn off most things i find unnecessary (motion blur, bloom, shadow quality, anti-aliasing, etc). Even games where i can easily do ultra settings, I still tend to go for mid settings.

I should probably also mention that I play solo offline almost exclusively, performance may not be the same when playing online. I also play on a dedicated server (that you can run offline) which some say is better for performance than hosting a background server from ingame.

100% you can play this game with your PC. I played with RTX 960, no issues at all. good luck and have fun :)
