Can I run the game?

[draco]

I really loved the first game and starwars in general that is why I pre-ordered this. I was wondering if I can run this game with my laptop

specs:
i5-11400H
32gb ram (16x2 3200mhz)
RTX 3060 6gb Vram
1tb ssd (divided in to two 500gb)

laptop: gigabyte g5 kd

Since i saw the vram on the minimum requirements I became worried. Im not sure if I should refund

Under ideal conditions, the 13600k is a huge improvement, at 14 cores / 20 threads.

That is under ideal conditions. Under the worst conditions, the 13600k may well perform worse than the 10400f.

It was not my intent to insult, merely to express my dissatisfaction with the real world performance of the 13th gen Intel processors.

If you're going to upgrade, go with the Core i7-13700f, so you've got the 8 Performance cores to fall back on when the Efficiency cores fail to perform.

Recommended specs are usually not accurate, so the only chance is to test by yourself or wait for test videos.

The real question is: Should you run the game?

Efficiency cores are playing out very similarly to Hyper-Threading on the Pentium IV. Janky, inconsistent performance.

Disabling the Efficiency cores provides more consistent performance.

Any IPC differences between the 10th gen and the 13th gen are not reflected on the Intel Arc website, so there is no reason to expect IPC improvements similar to those made since the Core 2 Quad era pre-AVX2 chips.

6-Cores at 5.1GHz will provide a small boost in performance, not worth upgrading for.

Better is the DDR5 memory bandwidth and the PCI-Express 4.0, which is where one should really notice a difference.


It is either more cores, or newer instruction sets. IPC isn't magic.

IPC increases between the 10400f and 13600k comes from the Efficiency cores, which are janky.

Again proving that you have no idea what you're talking about. The worst part is that you're so childish that you'll never be able to admit that you're ignorant and spouting misinformation.

Instruction sets between modern Intel x86-64 CPUs are essentially the same, with a few small changes between some microarchitectures for supporting new hardware features and again, as you erroneously claimed was the case, are not implemented on a per game basis. These slight ISA changes are also not responsible for the significant increases in IPC.

It is incredibly ignorant and honestly kind of makes you a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ person to try and dissuade someone, and even going so far as to insult them, from upgrading their hardware based on false information because you don't know what you're talking about. The 13600k is a huge improvement over the 10400f in real world performance, across single and multi threaded workloads, and is absolutely worth the upgrade.

i would try and get a better one but i also have to buy another mb and rebuild, but for the time being do you think i would see a significant enough boost to gaming performance to get the 13600k?

Absolutely, yes. The 13600k is one of the best CPUs for gaming right now. Your GPU will be the bottleneck for almost every game out even at 1080p with a few exceptions like MS Flight Simulator or Hogwarts Legacy

Over 25% faster on average in this review at 1080p using an RTX 3080 so your results wouldn't be very far off:

The 10400f is so much slower that they don't even show it in the individual game results, only in the average. It's very close to the Ryzen 3600x though which is shown and there are some games where the 13600k is nearly twice as fast.

That is under ideal conditions. Under the worst conditions, the 13600k may well perform worse than the 10400f.

It never performs worse. It is at worst still a significant improvement and at best basically double the performance.

Hell there are basically zero instances where even the 12700k can outperform the 13600k.

What? Was that some Amazon or eBay listing?

The GTX 960M appears to come in 2GB and 4GB varieties. So a decent chance it is a "Geforce GTX 960m 4GB".

With it being a laptop, you are not likely going to be able to upgrade the GPU.

Basically, that is a Steam Deck, so I would wait and see what those with Steam Decks report, and see if the game gets a Deck Verified check.

That laptop is unlikely to run the game at an acceptable level.

the laptop is gaming and there is an update in the memory, That's why I asked if the game would start. thanks for the info

My specs:

RTX 3060 12 GB
Intel i9 8800k 4.3 gHZ
16 GB RAM
Windows 10 64 bit

So probably High/ ultra?

Your GPU is probably fine for high settings at 1080p as it's slightly faster than the 2070, which is the recommended GPU. However there is no i9 8800k. The only 8th gen i9 is the 8950HK which is a laptop CPU. Did you mean the i5 8600k or i7 8700k?

Are you getting the new motherboard for the 13600k, or are you rebuilding because you need a new build altogether? I'm showing prices for the 13600k at $320 USD, and the 13700f at $360 USD.

Reports are that Hogwarts Legacy doesn't like the E-Cores on the 13600k. I'm guessing that since Mr. Patrick mentioned Microsoft Flight Simulator, that it also does not like the E-Cores on the 13600k.

From what I understand, The Last of Us Part 1 also does not like the E-Cores on the 13600k, either.

For older titles optimized to work on Quad Cores, the 13600k is no doubt a massive improvement. However, as we move into the Hex-Core era of XBox Series X and PlayStation 5, I just don't see the 13600k as being significant.

It is very apparent that the more CPU demanding titles are the ones that are having the most trouble with the E-Cores.

The 13700f should have a smoother time with its 8 P-Cores, or at least give you the configurability options to find something with a smoother frame rate. The "K" on the end mostly just seems like hype to me.

So right now, the 13600k looks like a significant boost. 14 cores over only 6. Later, not so much, 6 cores vs 6 cores...

Should be fine, the 8700k isn't too far off the 11600k in gaming performance. I'd guess 1080p high settings at 60fps should be doable
