For those who are afraid their PC is weak... Watch this!
I have a quite mediorce PC if not less.

It is an i3 equal CPU, small RAM and a decent GPU (2 Gb).

Here are the videos of the game runing on every setting set to HIGH, all effects like Tessellation are ON, resolution 1920x1080, vertical synch.

The first vid is from Shadowplay so it lags on its own (there is no actual lag ingame).

You can see that on the second video shot by the cellphone camera: no lag.

So don't be afraid. Your PC probably can run this game on High, no problems.



To the High-end PC owners: please no bragging. I just try to help my fellow low-end PC guys to not hesitate and just buy and play the game with no fear of low settings or impossibility to run.

I hope this post will help people to figure out if they can run the game ok, but hey, everyone just continue creating the new topics with their high-end systems asking if they are okay with Medium :)

Got a gtx 680 2GB VRAM, i7 950 3.1 ghz, and 16GB RAM. Sounds like I should have good experience!

I am more than sure :) you have a huge surplus for High and I doubt that Ultra adds anything improving the picture by more than 10%.

What GPU do you have exactly? I have a GT 540m but i'm not sure that will be enough.

I posted a picture of my system in the third line of post.
Athlon II 640 3.0 GHz

Got a Radeon 6870 HD with 1 GB VRAM and can play with high textures. CPU meets the minimum requirements (X4 965) and I have 6 GB of RAM. Runs smooth on a mix of low, medium and high settings. Looks good still!

660 here with 8 Gigs of Ram and I only get 46-50 fps when set to medium with alot of stuff on screen. Oh and i7 processor.

I didnt notice any frame loss installing the HD texture pack so possible optimization issues here. My Gigabyte Gtx 760 is crushing it at 60 frames avg with rare frame drop to 32 on high settings HD textures.

Sorry mate but that's rather pointless. Go out in the open world, really test the game out, or hell, do the benchmark. Also that CPU is not an i3 equivalent. What you got there is a quad-core CPU while the i3 is a dual-core one. The i3 might be better core for core, but in a game that uses four or more, it's not match for yours.

Make no mistake, this is a demanding game.

Well as you can see, now I have 4 hours in game, so I've pretty much have seen how it behaves in the open world. The same.

If you can run the game well, that's not a weak PC, that's what I mean.

Well, my PC performs amazingly well in most games. I mean, almost all the games I run on Ultra, including Battlefield, Bioshock Infinite, Witcher 2 and such.
Exception is Arma 3, pretty much because of being heavy on CPU and ignorant to GPU.

That's why I really don't understand why the people with much, much newer and stronger builds hesitate if they can run the game at all. That's why I created this topic.

Of course, trying to launch the game on Duron 1100 GHz with Intel HD 2000 is inadequate. I was claiming that the game runs absolutely well on the quite modern, decent, but not top-notch system which is 2-3 years old so most gamers don't need to worry.

Neah, we had people around here crying the game required DX 11 or a quad core, that sort of stuff. You are good, the people really crying were ones with 5-6 year old systems.
