Specs

[samuraj_55]

Im a bit unsure if i will be able to run dragons dogma 2. I tried resident evil 4 demo on high settings and it ran decent but looked a bit grainy especially the background details. specs are
Nvidia gtx 1060 6gb turbo
intel core i5 7600k 3.80ghz
16gb ram
The witcher 3 i can run on high settings on 1080p with solid fps

you don't meet the minimum requirements, you might be able to play below 1080p or with the game in interlaced rendering mode at 1080p on low settings

Running other games doesn't matter much since each game have its own engine and different way to handle things in the backend.
Its like people wondering why when they emu ps3 games they get ♥♥♥♥ fps when they run Cyberpunk all high at 60,some games use cpu more,some gpu etc.

Here you are below the min,so don't go in expecting it to run well,but hope they just do some godlike opti that could help

I do hear people say the RE Engine seems well optimized? So at the very least his rig sounds like it can handle it if you can scale the level of detail/draw distance detail down into oblivion.

[samuraj_55]

Hm, seems like i can only try and hope that it will work, hope the details wont look to awful if i scale it down

You'll be able to run it. You'll have to play around with a bunch of settings though. 1060 is starting to age as a graphics card.

It aged a long time ago. But i play my games with my 1060 in 768p so, it works fine.

You're mostly bottlenecked by a 4 core cpu, so you could see some stuttering (freezes) in more intensive areas. The GPU probably can run fine at worst at 720p or 1080p upscaled. The game looks to be requiring 8gb vram, I recommend lowering the textures too as much as possible.

[samuraj_55]

Thanks for all the answers. I will start with replacing the processor. The graphics card i will try to run as it is concidering the price for a new one. Hopefully in the near future i migt be able to replace even the graphics card. I decided to add another fan so in total 5 fans for cooling

I have the same specs than yours ... and i will do the same thing (probably an I5-12400F for me).

The GPU is the weak link. 1060 is no longer good enough.

I sold a 1080ti last month for $150. Those punch between a 3060 and a 3060ti in most gaming benchmarks, but have considerably higher power draw. There's budget cards that can be had at varying price points if you're willing to buy used or refurb, and there's some good youtube videos which discuss which cards are the best at whatever price point you can afford.

i found the same cpu on amazon today, 1 is 12400f $169 and 11400f for $144
I did read a little about 1060 and found that it should be capable enough to run resident evil 4 remake atleast on 1080p so the gpu should not be a problem i think

Did you price a motherboard in with that? Add another $80-$100 for the motherboard, and then you're gonna need another $60-$80 for the ram. You're looking at several hundred to replace the CPU when you factor in all related costs. And this will probably not get you much of a frame rate increase, I'd wager you'll be fairly disappointed with the performance gains.

I think that my cpu is the weakest point, i will try and see if my gpu can handle it when it comes out. I dont really want too sell my new gpu and get a second hand one or refurbished

You can think whatever you want, I'm just telling you as someone who's built over a dozen of PC rigs over the years for myself and friends and family.

I5 7600k is actually more than enough CPU for a 1060. It's comparable to a 1st gen Ryzen 5 1600x, and I paired a 1600x with a 1080ti, which is double the GPU of a 1060. You got enough headroom with that I5 7600k to at least push a 3060.

[BEEP!]

I'd say if you can play the recent Resident Evil games because the engine runs basically everything really good on it so you might be able play this game especially with how DD2 isn't that great looking graphics wise it looks good but not very next gen looking.
But yea upgrade my guy look at the RX6000 card's something like the RX6700xt $300-$350 a awesome 1080p & entry level 1440P card or even the RX6600XT $190 if you have a lower budget a fairly solid 1080p card but yea your going to really struggle with that card it's time to move on.
