Do you Guys Think A 7700k And a 4070 Super will run this Playably?

[Maddy]

As the title says Im curious if the 7700k and 4070 Super will be enough to at least play this at high settings with maybe view distance stuff turned down?

[Silverino]

So you don't think your own speculation is adequate, you want others to help you speculate?

I want general ideas..

Warhorse has published the system requirements. See https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/kingdom-come-deliverance-ii-system-requirements

You might get a tad CPU bottleneck if you are on 1080p.. if 1440p you should be able to pull acceptable frames.. (remember, you want the GPU to do most work, not the CPU) so don´t lower graphics too much.

Have the same system but a very bad feeling, the bottleneck at newer games is sometimes crazy and my fans turn up to the point where i decide better not to play it or risk to hurt the system. I wonder where they need all this system power because the graphics are looking good but not this special (if i look at the reccomended specs it gives me nightmares).

The thing is the game looks close to the 1st one so I don't know why the recommended specs are that high.

[Maddy]

Thats why Im a Little sceptical about the specs

Was asking myself the same question, looks like a not so well optimisation atm.

[Nabster]

Yes

Brother a 7700k and a 4070 super? i can feel the bottleneck from here i had a 9700k with a standard 4070 and bottleneck was huge even at 1440p i ended up upgrading cpu to 14600k

[devlos]

The CPU bottleneck is crazy even my old 3600x was on par with a I7 8700K and the thing bottlenecked my old 1080 TI ever since i moved to the 5700x3D the thing almost doubled my frames on a ancient card at 1440P and you are using a 2.5 - 3 times more powerfull card with a old 7700K.

For those who "doubt the minimums", do you remember how the first game was when you got into an area with more NPCs in it? You won't find problems in the initial parts of the game, but then, go into Kuttenberg, more NPCs around doing this and that, and performance will drop like a rock. Those who set their settings too high will now have to lower them, and suddenly, you will hear, "The game isn't optimized for my computer, it's all the fault of Warhorse for not optimizing for MY computer!".

For those who have a high end machine, yep, you will hear the same thing, because the game will slow down with all settings maxed out too, because people just can't comprehend the idea that games can be designed for the future, and if what people have at launch, even with the highest end CPU and GPU can't run at max settings, then we can always turn down various settings to get acceptable performance, and then in another few years after we upgrade, the game will still be a benchmark for system performance.

Yeah, i was in the same boat. A 4070 with an i7 6700k on a msi B250 mortar.
Processor was running at 98%+ while graka was only at 40-60% with most games.

When there was a game with shader loading i had to wait sometimes 30 minutes on first load. (Stalker 2 as example).

I dont want to spend a lot of money and dont need a power beast to run everything on high/max settings in 1440p so upgraded to a amd 7700x processor + mobo.

Such old Intel CPUs like an i7 7700K will have a very large CPU bottleneck, 100% sure. The old i7 is barely minimum spec for this game, it will not be a good experience. CPU bottlenecks are much more obnoxious than a limiting GPU.

With some modding the first game still hammers a Ryzen 7800X3d in the villages btw.

While the engine hopefully can use modern hardware better now then was the case in the first game, the recommended CPU for this game IS a Ryzen 7800X3d, the essentially second best modern gaming CPU. On the Intel sidde there is a i7 13700K. Both CPUs leave the likes of an i7 7700K in the dust without breaking a sweat :). If the devs give it officially like this the game WILL hurt CPUs A LOT :). Devs are usually on the optimistic side for specs to make better sales.... . Recommended specs usually means "good enough for 60 FPS" average.

Also, many modern games use CPUs more heavily now, which makes 6-10 year old CPUs more and more obsolete, at least when paired with a modern RTX 4070 (Super) or better type GPU. You will not be able to use the full potential of such a GPU, even at 1440P or at 4k (when upscaled to 4K with DLSS/other upscalers). The question then arises, if the GPU was worth the money :).

A lot has changed there. KIngdome come 2 is not an exception there anymore.

Not really.

I ran CP2077 everything maxed out (RT as well) with DLSS on quality and in 1440p (no FG) with a 4070 coupled with a 9700k and I have like 140 fps stable.
The 7700k is not really that far off... the difference between an 9700k and a 13700 is rather minimal tbh.

Only if you play 1080p you might get into issues.
