I Can't Run It...

[Everybody do the flop]

My Graphics card and RAM are fine, but my CPU is too old. I have a AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor and I was thinking of upgrading, but not before my birthday or Christmas. I don't have the money to spend on a £2000+ PC for the one game I have I don't meet the requirements of. So how much of a deal breaker is this?

We don't know.

Yeah, because buying a PS5 would solve everything... :/

It’s the much cheaper alternative to getting an expensive PC. Also I didn’t specify a PlayStation. An Xbox Series would suffice

Except I already pre-ordered the game.

You can refund it still. You’re not forced to stick to PC

you can get a ryzen 5 plus mobo and ram for 300 bucks or so

You can cancle your preorder. I suggest you should do this before the Game comes out.

You can get a used Ps5 or Xbox. cheapest whould be a used Xbox series S. Which goes for like 260€ new (atleast in my location - its on sale on Amazon rn)

Theres litterly no use in trying to run it. Even tho you might be able to, you have to pump the graphics and resolution down so hard you better of buying a console.

I will get the Game on PS5. Just cause of the Couch factor and cause i wanna play with a Buddy from time to time.

Edit: Also, dont try to upgrade just one Part of your PC. If you still have a fx 8350, you probally need a new GPU aswell. You are 100% better of buying a console....

Just wait for release, try it while setting a timer of 1.5 hour. If it doesn't run even by tweaking some settings, ask for a refund.

My GPU got replaced a number of years ago and now it's a 1070. Additionally, I could get a new PC for my birthday or Christmas, so I don't get why I need to buy a console for only the month I'll be using it.

Holy crap, that CPU is ANCIENT. I was about to say "I didn't know AMD was making anything other than Ryzen CPUs" while thinking it was their version of Celeron CPUs, but damn.

A 1070 GPU is going to be fine and just a little shy from recommended settings. What you could do is buy a cheap CPU that meets the recommended settings (Ryzen 3600 shouldn't be higher than 100$, but a Ryzen 5600 shouldn't be much more expensive either and gives you a great overhead compared to the 3600), buy a cheap motherboard compatible with the new CPU like said Ryzen 3600/5600 would go with a B450/B550 motherboard around 60-100$, and then buy some DDR4 RAM till you reach at least 16 GB, though 32 GB is nice in general.

(that's also assuming the related motherboards fit your computer case, I don't know what a motherboard housing a AMD FX(tm)-8350 looks like)

You would keep your current computer, but boosted its performance for 200-250$, half the price of current gen consoles, perhaps lower if you manage to get through reliable second-hand, perhaps a bit higher if you need to buy additional stuff like a fan and everything thermal paste related for the CPU.

It's not gonna run as well as the console version most likely, and would have to add an extra if you want someone else to place the parts for you, but that should run the game just fine at 1080p/medium with some or most options on high and at 60 FPS, if their comments on the minimum & recommended requirements are to be trusted.

For comparing parts, I'd recommend a site like this one, it's good for approximation (the GPU comparisons goes into more depth for game benchmarks though), otherwise I recommend watching Youtube videos of comparisons/benchmarks: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Ryzen-5-3600-vs-Ryzen-5-5600

That said, be careful with some sites. CPUBenchmark for example has a notorious history for having a clear Intel bias over AMD and giving skewed results in Intel's favour.

so why are you asking if its a deal breaker if you can get a new PC on your birthday anyway? first you say you dont have enough money to spent on a new PC but now you say your willing to replace your PC / get a new PC on your birthday but are also not willing to get a PS5? lmaoo that makes no sense. just refund the pre order, get a PS5 and get the game. problem solved

Ryzen 5 5600x is still top tier, very cheap.

Because I need to upgrade my computer regardless and I don't want to buy a PS5 AND upgrade my PC. I said nothing about getting a PS5 in my first post either, since people here kept saying I should get a console.
