Can an i5-750 run this?

[???hawk]

My current build is an i5-750 (2.66ghz quad), GTX 960 4gb, and 8gb of ram

I'm a bit hesitant on the cpu because the minimum, while only a dual core, is 3.1ghz so it leaves me worreid how much that might mess things up a bit. Since DS games like to tie stuff to frame rate I'm not sure if I'll be able to maintain 60, and if so if that will mess anything up...

The witcher 3 runs at about 50fps on medium settings with this setup and its listed minimum is the 2500k so that's something but idk if anyone knows how DS3 will compare to that yet so I'm just trying to get 'educated' guesses on if this will work or not.

You'll run it fine, how well we don't know yet.

Can only hope. Again I dont mind playing at 45-50 (basically what I've been playing games on for years - had a 5870 before the 960) but I'm worried cause its From that something tied to 60 will break cause of it.

From what I've seen, you will probably be able to run it around 45fps, maybe more. If you had a better processor you could probably net 60fps.

Yeah my biggest regret from 5-6 years ago building this comp is not spending the extra $50-70 on a 2500k. Taught me to def future proof the ♥♥♥♥ out of the cpu more than the gpu whenever I have the money for a full new build

I don't know where people are getting this... an i5-750 is a very dated CPU(Sept 2009?) and wasn't high end on release. I recently upgraded from my old i5-750 to an i5-6600 because the i5-750 simply wasn't up to the task even in titles where it was supported by minimum requirements.

Considering the game states minimum requirements is the i5-2500(At 3.1Ghz) you're going to have a significant bottleneck with that 2.66Ghz CPU. For minimum specs the difference is significant.

Great CPU for it's price in 2009 and lasted me a good six years but it's really dated at this point and can't run quite a few games recently released. Best off saving the money and buying a new CPU+Motherboard.

Minimum is an i3-2100, not an i5-2500k. And the witcher 3 was also listed as 2500k minimum which is why I mentioned it.

On a side note I also currently run The Division at about 50fps on medium as well (which was i5-2400 - 3.1ghz quad). Tho the load times can be obscenely long and I half blame the cpu for that lmao

No that was the minimum CPU for DS2 which was incorrectly released as DS3's minimum as well.

Anyways, I still think you'll be fine. You aren't expecting anything unreasonable and depending on your settings and resolution I think you can probably push 40-50 fps. We don't know for sure yet but if you pushed upwards of 50fps in the Witcher 3 I think you'll be ok.

doesn't seem really demanding, so you should run it fine. might have to adjust a couple graphics options to get a steady 60fps but in the end it should be fine
