Intel HD Graphics 4600 is enough ?

[Mars]

Hi, so DOA 5 is on sale and i have an i7 4790 at 3.60 ghz and 8 gigs of ram, and i´m worried to buy a game that i will not been able to play or will run with choppy framerate, you guys think is playable with just integrated graphics ?, thanks for the help.

Buy it, run it, return if it won't.

no, it's not enough.

with a CORE I5 3210M HD4000, the game run really bad 40-55fps (the game need 60fps for fight) in 1280x720, FXAA, Shadow actived.

I just tested my intel 4600 onbroad grahic it worked fine with no frame drop but you have to set it to.
1366x768
SHADOW On
Shadow - Resolution to 1024X1024
Anti - Aliasing Off

Update your intel 4600 to the lastest driver to date because it improve game play. No frame drop and image is awesome. So get advantage of the sale.

Its playable on my laptop constant 50-60 fps with FXAA and the settings mentioned by hightime1011. My laptop uses intel 4400 which is slightly lower clocked than your GPU so you should be fine. Game doesn't need 60fps but the Keyboard mapping controls are bad and can't be changed right now so a controller would probably be helpful.

wtf is shadow resolution suppose to be?

Probably the resolution of the shadow mapping textures.
Short answer: Higher res uses more video ram and gfx processing power but looks nicer.
Technical answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mapping

Keep in mind that 60fps is required for this one. If you go lower, the game isn't going to drop frames, it's going to slow down to make sure every frame shows up. (It might start dropping them if you play online. I suspect a lot of people will want to play in the most simple stages to keep that to a minimum.)

1024x1024, shadow has aliasing

4096x4096, shadow is smooth but increase video memory usage, but look good for cutscene.

EDIT
1366x768, no shadow, no anti-aliasing
GPU memory usage = 772mo

1366x768, all max setting
GPU memory usage = 1091mo

1920x1080, all max setting
GPU memory usage = 1211mo
no change in RAM usage

Mars when you finish installing the game and start playing it can you get us a feedback? On the DOA 5 LR

Hey Guys, it took a while, but I finally decided to buy the game and it actually works pretty good, no frame drops with the default settings on full screen; this is the settings I used

- resolution: 1280x720
- shadow: on
- shadow resolution: 1024x1024
- anti-aliasing: off
- screen setings: full screen


Thanks to everyone for the help, special mention to "hightime1011" your messages make me decide to buy the game :D

hey guys i have tested it with the i7 4790 You can do 1280x720P only go any higher you will slow down the game.. You can Have the SSAA at 2X. and The shadows at 1024x1024 only and Run in Full Screen at 60 Frames.. There may be studders from time to time depending on the level.. Some stages will run at 60 Frames some may take a 60 to 50 Frames. But dont expect to run the game at 1920x1080P yet.. If you have a problem ask Intel to add the support in the next driver update.. thats the best you can do for the HD 4600.
