Yeah I saw that, but has anyone tried to run this on a duel core cpu? I dont want to repeat the mistake of buying a 60 dollar game and have it unplayable (farcry 4).

[Nomadski]

Be interesting if someone has managed it given the devs specs above. I wouldn't expect so.

Well according to AIDA64 which I have running on my G19's LCD it's only using 2 cores as far as I'm concerned. I have "tried" to get it to run on my ancient Dual Core laptop. It "runs" but the GFX in it are so weak I don't count 10fps in the menu as running but being Dual Core didn't stop it from working anyway.

Ive ran many new games at full graphics and little fps drop with my rig, I just dont want to be locked out like I was with farcry 4 and waste 60 bucks.

My specs... go ahead and laugh but they work.

AMD Athlon II x2 240 processor 2.80ghz
4.00gb Ram
GerForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST (current driver)
Windows 7 Home Premium

well it runs fine on my a8 which is technically a dual, (2 logic) only 4 threads. over 8 for real quads.

i'm betting i could get it to run on my old phenom II x2 545, but it would probably not look amazing. might get some serious slow downs aswell. i mean i can keep a consistent fps of about 25-30 with most if not everything on high, so if you have a dx11 gpu and 4gb of ram or over you should be alright, probably would help to know the actual spec so ppl can say definitively if it will work or not.

for example i know my old dual might run it because it plays arma 3 just fine on low-medium so with that comparison i'm betting it'll run elite but the performance will vary, in conflict zones where there might be 20 or so AI's flying around i'd expect some slow downs.

I have an i3 4130T. and it runs surprisingly well. I originally had 4gb ram and when i added another 4gb the performance went way up )

I'm running on an intel dual core 3 ghz, with 8 gig of ram and I just upgraded to an geforce gtx 750ti, but I was running it fine on a ati hd4670.

Intel E5200 CPU (I think it's 2.4GHz, but definitely dual-core), nVidia GTX 460.

Runs ok, capping the FPS helps (gets really laggy during the transition to/from from jumpspace).

Mind you, the game probably sees this dual-core CPU as quad-core due to Intel's Hyper-Threading.

E5200 doesn't have Hyper-threading. It is definitely just a Dual Core ;)

The game is actually very processor dependent -- this is because of the amount of procedural generation.

I played it on an old Dell XPS M1730 with a Core 2 Duo T8300 and 8700m GT. It didn't look pretty, but it was playable. Any better/newer dual-core processors can probably handle it okay, but don't expect it to be flawless.

As INSTG8R indicated, only the i7 has Hyperthreading, and even then it needs specific code in the application to use it. Not many do either, only program I use that has hyperthreading is Photoshop.

perfect on a dual core E8600 (+Radeon HD5850)

Thanks for the input, will be buying this soon!
