Can my PC run forbidden west?

[Gerbera]

Granted I don't care about super mega ultra FPS and intense graphics but I wanted to buy forbidden west and I'm not sure my PC can handle it without everything looking like an absolute potato or running at 1 fps.

I am using a standard HP Victus that gets the job done for almost anything.

thanks in advance

EDIT: Topic has been answered. Thanks all!

What is your configuration? And anyways I would suggest you to wait instead of preordering it or buying on launch, wait for the reviews regarding performance.

[GlowWorm]

The opening tutorial has plenty of graphic density, so if you buy the game when you have time to try it out right away, you can try it out and then return it under Steam's return policy if the performance doesn't work for you.

(The DLC area is not accessible until quite late in play, and for example was not released on PS4 and only on PS5 due to requiring more horsepower to run. So if your machine "barely" runs the base HFW, you could find the Burning Shores area problematic.)

I also recommend waiting on reviews, which will certainly cover the performance differences between the base game area and the DLC area. But no review is going to tell you exactly how it will run on YOUR machine. I expect that reviews are being worked on right now under embargo, and will release probably in the 24 hours prior to game release.

You need to tell us your exact GPU, CPU and RAM before we can help you. And like the fella above stated you should wait for benchmarks to come out before purchasing, the pc platform has been getting way too many unoptimized atrocities to warrant pre ordering.

If it's the base Victus model with 8Gb of RAM then no it won't run the game. If you bought the RAM upgrade to 16Gb then it will be fine at 1080p.

Its the latter. I think I'll be good but I'll make sure to do what glowworm stated.

"I am using a standard HP Victus"
That in itself does not mean anything. A bit like saying "I drive a Ford, can I offroad?"

There are many HP computers with that model name and many Victus models with different hardware inside them. Victus models even include both desktops and laptops.

Basically if you have a fairly modern CPU with six cores or more, sixteen gigs of memory and AMD RX6700 or Nvidia 3070 or better you should be fine. You can run the game with lesser hardware if you lower graphics settins and/or use DLSS/FSR. If you have a laptop, IMO you bought an expensive lesson on why people buy desktops if they want to game.

To clarify, it is the HP Victus 16 Laptop with 16gb of ram so as I said, I runs everything else very well but I was a bit concerned with this one since I know that it may or may not run well.

Anywho, I'm not a hardcore gamer and I bought a laptop so I can do basically everything I need to do on it without separate hardware required other than a mouse. So gaming, work etc etc is all done on this to go device. But Dr.Abscondus and the pinned post answered the question so no need to worry.

as long as your hardware is newer then the lowest spec (or equal to it) it should run fine^^ mind telling what graphics card/cpu the laptop has?

[Moe Lester]

Mine same, I was gonna bought the game
My specs is Ryzen 5 5600h, rtx 3050 ti and 16gb ram, is it enough for it to play in 60fps using medium settings?

[Thornok]

this game certainly needs 1/3 more power compared to the first one.
