Will my PC run this game at 60fps 1080?
Hi all, I just wanted to know if people have an opinion based on experience on the actual required hardware for this game. My pc is solid but my cpu doesn't fit the min requirements, it runs everything (far cry 5, Battletech, Kingdom Come Deliverence, Witcher 3 etc) pretty fine and I don't have any issues as yet with any "new" games.

*i5-3570k*
16gb Ram
GTX 970 Windforce
256gb SSD

Im running :-
I7 3770
32gb ram
nvidia geforce gtx 1060 6gb
250gb SSD for windows 10 and standard 2tb HD for game

Although this game isnt verywell optimsed, on max settings, landed on station on ship im getting 32fps, flying near station 50fps and open space 60+ fps

OP: No, it won't. The GPU might be able to manage it, but the CPU is what's going to be hit hardest.

I have a 3570k too OP, overclocked to 4.2ghz. 16gb ram, SSD and 1060 6gb.

The game runs at 60 fps most of the time on high settings, however there are problem areas where it drops such as busy (note I said busy) stations to about 30fps (I dont think ive ever dropped below that). Most of the time its smooth.
Everyone has these problems, our CPU is fine.

This CPU especially if oc'ed is still good.

It's going to have to be overclocked with custom watercooling. I have my i7-6700k at 4.8ghz (stock 4.0ghz), and while it's able to keep up, I'd much rather have a newer and faster per-core CPU. The i5-3570k is a full 3 years older than my CPU.

I think with all the changes to war recently, many people are complaining about reduced FPS due to greater CPU load. I wouldn't trust that older CPUs like this will continue to be able to run the game at 60FPS. 30-45 perhaps, but not 60.
