Nop, even ok comps differcult to maintain 60 fps, but if you can run crysis 2 at max settings then you can run dis

You would be better off giving us your computer specs.
And yes, the game is massively fun.

its a fairly graphically intensive game so depending on what you consider a potatoe it will probably not run this game decently. as an example, if you dont have a dedicated video card and your using an 'older' pc i doubt it will even load the game

as far as 'is it fun' well that depends on your taste, watch some vids, read the reviews, and ofcourse this is an action rpg so you would need to be interested in that genre

thanks for the feed back, my computer can run overwatch, BF1, and rainbow 6 at a good graphic level so i think it should be fine. thanks for the help

The game is not more demanding compared to other modern open world RPGs. It has many graphics options to reduce or increase details. If you turn everything to its lowest, and are fine with 30 fps then the game runs on really old and weak PCs. However, if you want best graphics and constant 60 fps, then you need fairly strong and pricey PC.

If you give your PC specs, we can tell you better if you can run this properly. Is way more demanding than Overwatch or Rainbow Six: Siege (if this is the one you play) because is SP so devs focus on the graphics. This game is hard to keep at 60fps, my PC cant for example, I play it at 37.5 fps with nvidia half refresh rate (half of 75 Hz). You may need to play it at 30 fps or disable v-sync and limit the fps of the game to 40-50 fps with something like RivaTuner, its up to you.

most important parameter's resolution you want or need. then fps. (for some order's reversed :P) then visual detail.

without you listing your specs here nobody can give you much useful advice. and once you know specs especially graphics card you can just google or check youtube how tw3 plays for others on same hardware.

Can't really comment without the specs of your potato including what resolution you will play at.

I run it at about 40 on max settings with a gtx 970, don't know if that helps.

thats a very low spec pc for this game i will grant, but even it has a dedicated graphics card (a terribly low end gt540m) but still even that is better than integrated graphics
just sayin ...

You're supposed to know what your computer has in it before you buy a computer. Someone might as well put 512mb of ram in your pc.

No one would do that. That is just a wonky example. You don't need to know what your PC has if you're buying prebuilt. That is kindof the point of buying prebuilt, you dont know what you're doing.
