Performance...

[madeline0706]

Hello, I don't honestly know if this is relevent but, Would these Specs be at least enough... If so, how well ? I dont want to ask much of you guys https://pcpartpicker.com/user/pcperson1337/saved/3N96hM

It'd run, just not at max. I'd say bump the ram up to 16 though.

Much thanks

it would run...don't expect the best performance. Game isn't cpu intensive at all so I wouldn't be suprised if the cpu ran it just fine. But that cpu would hold you back on pretty much everything else. No one really uses a dual core nowadays. Stuttering and hitching may also occur as that's a known issue for this game for cards with low vram.

That's plenty enough for a budget build. You'll run RE7 just fine after a good tweaking of the settings.

Kaby lake Pentiums have hyperthreading now so that's not as much of an issue as it was with previous gens. They're pretty much slightly less powerful i3's.
Also 4GB is enough to play RE7 with low textures. Maybe even medium. He won't get any stuttering on low.

I see thanks for the info. Each to his own and I know I've said this in other posts on here, but I really don't see why people would even bother with rigs so low that they have to play on low/medium settings. Ultimately you'd be better off with a console and it would be less frustration.

I've made a better budget system for you. Costs more obviously but would save you a lot of headache.

Also I put a 1060 there but that's only because the prices of 970s on that site were bogus. If you can find a cheaper or possibly second hand 970, you would be better off than with the 1050ti. Also the prices of ram were weird on that site too. You could probably find cheaper elsewhere.

Yes, it will run without a problem. Textures on Medium (They don't go higher than Medium anyway, they just cache for no reason at all, resolution is the same) and everything else bumped up to max. You can get a stable 60 frames with that, depending on how the CPU will hold. I know new Intel CPUs have hyperthreading, but still. It ran on my Q6600 @ 3.2 and 4 GB DDR2 RAM without ANY slowdowns or performance issues at High (Texture Resolution on Very Low tho because of lack of VRAM, locked 30 or unlocked 45-60 on a 660 TI.=

But since i upgraded my CPU and RAM, i can bump the textures to Medium on a 2GB VRAM card without any stuttering whatsoever. I don't know why, but it works. Usually you would need 4 GB VRAM minimum for that.

[madeline0706]

The only reason i have a pentium (g4560) is becuase it acts kinda like it has 4 cores rather than 2 :)

I had to stay in the 500- 750 dollar margin

I am not a console person. At all. Only console that i like is the N64.

The game isn't CPU intensive as they said, however, if you want a constant 60 fps. That CPU will hold you back a ♥♥♥♥ ton.

I had an AMD FX-4300 and I was dropping frames during the beginning game's cutscenes. I upgraded to an Intel Core i7-6700K and that fixed the issue.

If you don't really care, that's fine, as long as you're fine with just being able to experience the game.

Also, I might as well note that Resident Evil 7's recommended GPU is a 1060 with 3GB of VRAM. So, to say the least. Almost 80% of your GPU will probably be used just for the game itself.

He seems to not care nor want to listen. I've already recommended him a better rig that he could actually get within his budget had he shopped around a little. All we can do is make suggestions, not much else. It's up to him if he wants a better experience. You are absolutely correct. I'm coming from a similar experience as well (although I upgraded before this game). I was on a fx 6300 at 4.4ghz and it was holding me back quite a bit. I upgraded to a I5 6600k and even at stock the difference was ridiculous.

Yet you game on a pc that is weaker than the current consoles in terms of game performance and settings.
