Can My PC Run This Game?(GTX 960 2 GB VRAM - Core i7 7700K 4.2 GHZ - 16 GB DDR4 RAM)

[Your Future Boyfriend]

I wrote my system on on the title Processor: Core i7 7700K 4.2 GHZ - Video Card: GTX 960 2 GB VRAM - RAM: 16 GB DDR4 RAM. My screen resolution is 1280x1024 and i'm ONLY worried about my video card.Anyone think i can or can't run this game and why please? (I read the specs.I'm only worried about video card)

[electrifying]

nope

You read the specs, right? Your card is fine, especially with such a low resolution.

Really, that's far too good a computer to have such a poor display! You should get a 1080p display, or even get a 4k screen and play games in 1080p mode (no pixel blur, since every 4 pixels at 4k will make 1 pixel at 1080p). Your current spec would happily play a lot of games in 1440p with a QHD monitor, but if you were forced to play newer, more complex ones in 1080p then you would notice a bit of strange softening when the display tries to upscale.

I'll buy 4K monitor later (with a 4K supporting video card) but for now i'm ONLY worried about if my video card can run the game or not.You said i can run it but electrifying said no.Some web sites say GTX 770 is better and some say GTX 960 is better i'm confused. (I read the specs.I'm just not sure about video card)

gpuboss.com and you have gpu comparision ;)

A 770 is a bit better than 960. If you really want the game asap, buy it, test it out, then if the performance is not adequate, return it. Or wait and see if someone else has a 960 and can tell you how well it plays.

Minimum specs say a GTX 770 @ 720p. You're at a slightly higher resolution and you have a card that's slightly worse (10% ish).

I never bother to look at specs, but those are some pretty hefty minimum specs (3570k, gtx 770, 8gb ram, 720p MINIMUM)

I know the PS4 pro has the option of 4k @ 30fps or 1080p @60fps. But I wonder if it'll just be unlocked framerate and a very fluctuating 60fps? I wonder what the base model of PS4 will be playing with? 1080/30?

The game looks incredible so I guess I'm not shocked really by anything.

If my PC runs a game that requires better video card than mine won't my video card breakdown? I mean wouldn't my video card receive permanent damage so it becomes useless? Because it happened to me once

I checked the link you sent.It says GTX 770 is better at gaming but GTX 960 is better at overall

Electrifying was trolling you.

Here's the basic rule of thumb with Nvidia cards: Take the number of a card from this year's family, subtract 10, and you've got the equivalent from last year's family. So, for example, the 760 was roughly the same as the 670, which was roughly the same as the 580. It's a rough rule of thumb, and you have to use it carefully (consider a Ti version of a card to be another rung on this ladder), but it generally works. [edit] NB - there was no 800 series in desktop Nvidia GPUs, so the 960 is the approximate equivalent of the 770 - nearing in mind that there was a longer tech gap here.

GPU Boss comparisons are a bit crude because they're working on WIN versus LOSE in each category, and there's not a lot of context there. A new gen card might have lower bandwidth than its forebears, but that doesn't necessarily mean its worse.

Another big problem with GPUBoss is that it's working on info from reviews that were published when the newer card just came out. It's not a good yardstick to compare the mature card, with maybe a dozen stability improvements in its drivers, to the new card that might not even have a proper dedicated driver release yet. Over time, the new card gets dozens of beneficial tweaks in the drivers while the older card's period of attention is over.

However, they're not wrong that the 770 was a bit better. You might see something in the region of 3-5 frames per second difference between the two cards running the same game (while early reviews suggested a bigger gap of as much as 10fps). If I had to choose between the two? I'd have bought the 960. It has small technical disadvantages, and more noticeable improvements in the way it handles the rendering of various effects. If it was a matter of one card peaking well over 60fps in a significant number of games while the other fluttered above and below 60fps in those same games, I might consider the small fps difference a problem, but it isn't.

Thanks I'll try and play the game and post graphics setting and fps here in case someone else is wondering

This website can determine how well (or bad) Hellblade will run on your pc:
http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=20608&game=Hellblade:%20Senuas%20Sacrifice#systemCheck

If you do not know your systems specs, install and run Speccy:
https://www.piriform.com/speccy

To change the Screen resolution (to see if Hellblade runs on a lower resolution) you need to make a Gamer Debate account.

Hope this helps.

I checked that site before starting this discussion here. It says video card isn't good enough for min. system requirements but my PC should be able to run it on low quality settings.I started this discussion to be sure because game-debate isn't always accurate

[Skywatcher]

This discussion will not give you the definitive answer either I think. There goes a saying, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. So I think you will only know how it runs on your PC if you try it. But Game Debate might not be far off I think though.

[blazeaglory]

omg the questions some people ask! JEESH

[Teiryn]

System requirements are often misleading nowadays. I don't think there is a single fully released game out there that the gtx 960 cannot run at 1080p (some requiring lower settings though). Unless this is a new crysis from 2007 - I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run it. The 2GB of VRAM might be a concern to you however - as that is quite low nowadays, at 1080p I would aim for at least 4GB of VRAM.

I played the game on my friend's PC for a while (He's got the same PC specs).Nvidia Geforce Experience on his PC tells him to play on very high (maxed out) for every graphic option.We were really surprised.During combat we got 48-60 FPS , during exploring (walking/running around, moving forward) we got 60 FPS , during some cutscenes we saw min. 38 FPS. But i can say that turning v-synch on costs 5-4 FPS (when it's lower than 60 FPS)
