Minimum/Recommended Specs

[lahoward]

I checked can i run it site and again I pass minimum specs but fail the 2g video ram for recommended.

How does the game play for those with a 1g video card?

Ever since Planet Coaster i never get the recommended anymore : (

If you have a 1GB GPU is could be pretty old. I am pretty sure it has to be DX 11 capable for this game. What GPU do you have.

You also need at least 4 GB of RAM (much, much better to have 8 - it will save you from sudden crashes).

AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G, 8gb ram (3 yrs old). Everything checks out on recommended except the AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics which is 1gb. I do however pass minimum specs but a lot of games will stutter at minimum (as of late)

Most 2gb cards Ive looked at, in the past anyways, are in the $700 price range.

Edit: GTX 750 Ti $99 will be getting it

R7 is the generation of the card ..not the model. 240,250, 260, 265, 360,370 are all R7 GPUs. But they are all DX 11 ..DX 12 infact.
.Must be a long time since you looked at a video card however. GTX 1070 $400-$450 8GB
GTX 1060 $250-$300 6GB...GTX 1050 $120 2 GB..The times when 2GB was a top of the line card is long since past.

Thanks Viper I will be getting one today from newegg

If your getting a GTX 1070 make sure you have the recommended wattage on your PSU. It requires at least 500 Watts I believe. The GTX recommended is 400 Watts minimum.

I re-edited my edit : ). GTX 750 will go to maximum PC forums to get advice on what will fit my original setup. Havent done this in 3+ years why Im so out of date on prices

You're just shooting yourself in the foot if you buy a GTX 750 now. You'll probably have to replace it within a year to play any new games that come out.

Agreed. gonna get the GTX 960. Neither amazon or newegg has it at the moment so made order to get it from amazon when avaliable for $139.

As for not being able to play games within the next year I doubt that. My 1gb will play any game in my library now just stutters on games like planet coaster & the witcher 3. I would rather spend the $139 now then update my entire system in a couple years to gaming system in the $1200 range. But the 750 is certainly lacking

I'd imagine you'd be fine. I play on high settings with an 8(?) year old Phenom II x955 and an overclocked hd 6950 @ 30 FPS. Basically a potato with a hood scoop and spoilers, at this point.

A GTX 960 is reasonably current. It performs a little better than a GTX 1050 for about the same price. If your looking for a GPU around the $120-$150 range that is probably your best choice.

Impressive you've kept that running for so long. In 8 years I think this is my 4th although one died to power surge that literally burnt the insides.
First one was in 97 that I eventually had to sell to pawnshop to pay my lightbill.
