can I run this? (PC specs inside)

[buzzsawgr81]

since I don't have a PS4, I need to find out if my PC will run this game. here's what I have (info is what's on the side of the rig so some software maybe upgraded):

3rd gen intel core i7-3770 processor
12 gig DDR3 mem
nvidia geforce gt 630 graphics card.

I know quite literally jack about PCs and the games I can play are hit and miss.

[buzzsawgr81]

so my PC won't play it?

You can try it and if it doesn't perform well just refund it. Don't play it too long though, or you won't be able to refund it!

Looking at your specs you should be able to play it. You are over recommended specs except for the graphics card but everything is over the minimum

You can also take a look here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri to check if you can run it.

Maybe low/mid graphics and for sure a low resolution, not 1080p.
But you should be able to run it at least decently.

Logic tells me you should be able to run it without issues. Graphics are settings you can toy with until you get a performance you like and you are good on the rest.

For future reference, you can find your specs by typing "dxdiag" on the Start Menu bar and then comparing your specs to the recommended ones through google.

thanks for the info but I have no idea what any of the specs mean, they're all just letters and numbers to me. but once I get the money I will at least try it. if all else fails I can always grab it up on my vita.

Now, consider it like this:
Gaming cards
- Nvidia Performance Tier 5 and above
- AMD Performance Tier 6 and above

Below it they are either casual/competitive gaming focused (they are cheap and work, but they could be better), or not good for gaming at all.

Yours is a Tier 3 card, it's not made for quality gaming.

it ends up my PC can run the game, but just on the lowest settings. so it's playable, just not pretty. I can live with that. even at it's lowest settings it still looks better than the vita verson (which I would've grabbed that if this didn't work).

I can't even run it at 1080p 60 fps with maxed settings with an 980 Ti...

The graphics card does not affect your performance. It only affects the amount of artifacts that can appear on the screen as well as the refresh rate. Peformance is proportional to the quality of your processor.

hmm sounds like what it was with Arslan :/ I'm worried now.

I was able to get 60FPS for AoT and DQH no issues, but I could never for Arslan somehow (it was pretty bad, where it would barely reach 40fps)

Guess I'll see tonight.

One thing I remember for Arslan though, it was either the OC, Shadows or Shaders that messed things up. In the end.

but ya, as Toad said, could also be CPU related, the amount of enemies is more CPU intensive than GPU.

With that you should be getting around 40fps during battle scenes. Which is more than enough to enjoy it.

Does your card support DX11? If so then you'll probably be able to run at least on low settings.

a 980 should even support DX12
