Old PC. Worth buying Bannerlord?

[rebelstar5]

I have:-

i5 2500 non-K
8GB DDR3
GTX 1060 6GB
1080p 60hz monitor

Not the worst. The RAM might be a big blow.

[Bastila Shan]

You might want a better cpu

I'd say the game is worth buying, though I'd be a bit wary. Some people with high end have been having constant crashes and freezes, while some with potato PCs face no issues at all, and vice versa.

You'll be able to play on 1080p/Medium+ at least...maybe. Know that this game is not optimized, and though you should be able to run it, you won't (not very well) at the moment.

Jump in if your desperate (or want the sale price), but it'd be best to wait until they fix most major bugs and optimize.

I suspected as much. Can't see any point in attempting to upgrade this PC. Looks like I'll need a completely new PC.

For the record, the big things you'll want to invest in are CPU and RAM for this game. I'd get 12GB of RAM if you can spare it. If not, 8 will do fine enough. But the CPU is where this game really has high demand. For GPU, I'm using a 1080 Ti which is now out of date and the visuals run fine. It's the CPU that's giving most people trouble.

Not at all lol. My friend plays it on i5 7300, gtx 1080, 8gb ram and says its abit laggy on all low. His pc is even slightly worse soooooo..........

Your processor is better than mine. i5-4570
Same ram
Your graphics card is a little better (1650)
1080p

I can run it, it does have lag issues if I have too many soldiers on the screen at the same time. I start noticing the lag issues at aroudn 100-200 soldiers on the screen, so I just adjust the max to 200, which is still a large number on the screen so it's all good for now.

I'm in the same boat as you concerning upgrading it. The last upgrade I did was my graphics card because I can just plop that into a new machine when I build it. I got it on a big sale so that's why I have that one.

i have an i7 - same GTX 1060 - 16 RAM
and its working .. it worked on max settings with minor stutters
other than that first time i attacked a castle oh lord >.> suddenly it went to 1fps and stayed there for sometime .
i lowered settings to mix between low-mid just to have les loading screen time and its smooth now

edit : i noticed in yesterday's patch they said they adressed that siege battle huge preformance problem

I believe it had to do with a bunch of AI units trying to figure out their pathing that caused the issue.

I have a similar laptop (IDK if you have laptop or regular PC, doesn't matter) with similar specs. CPU is kinda in the same range with 8 gigs of RAM, but i have GTX 1050 4GB model. Game runs okay. Sieges can cause some hiccups, I'm told that people with stronger specs also have problems with them. Some texture glitches here and there but overall it runs okay on medium - high settings. I had to eliminate shadows completely though.
That being said, your specs are more than enough to run it properly me thinks :)

I was running a 760 up until a couple of months ago lol.

Only problem is your cpu I think

[madracc00n]

U can run the game at low or med setting with 200 battle size.But i wouldnt reccomend buying the game now,unless u enjoy running around fighting bandits,since most other parts of the game are broken or unfinished.
