Is this game cpu or gpu demanding

[Vactor]

I have a i7 2600 i just wonder if it will be a drag for my gtx 1060 gpu

[O_______o]

I have a similar question, my concern is if an i7-7820hk @ 2.90ghz is enough to run this. It's a quad core, but not sure if multi-threading is something this game utilizes.

It'll over-clock to meet the requirements, but this is a laptop, in the hottest room of the house, in the midwest, and it'll be August when this is available. I'm trying to play games not fry eggs.

I'm good on GPU, and RAM, processor is the only concern.

Thoughts?

It won't drag your 1060. Older i7s will start to drag only after you go to like 1080 Ti or Titan level.

It should be fine. It wins my CPU [i7-3770k] in ginebench which means it's more powerful than the recommended cpu for this game.

thx for the info

i feel it maybe due to resolution scaling it's set to high (superscaling) , when the graphic preset is high.
Now we dont know what does high mean does it mean 1.5x or 2x?

Thus if you can find the option to set it to 1x a 1060x can run this at 60 fps @1080p

thx i will keep that in mine when the game release

If you have at least a 1060, then you should run this game solidly at least. Anything less and I could see issues. This game has been geared to being played at least around 30 fps, so if you can hit around those numbers than you should be fine.

Honestly from what we have seen from consoles this game seems to be quite heavy on the cpu side, i would be carefull whit older cpus like the i7 2600

[Xedhadeaus]

Because it's multiplayer. I highly doubt that the game would ever be that demanding.
It most likely keeps track of monster placement and interaction with the environment as well as what gathering points will be charged by when or what not.

The game seems to limit large monster spawns to about 3, and even then there are less than 5 quests that have multiple of the same monster active within it. I honestly think it's more GPU intense because of how much the load times seem to change from base ps4 to the pro.

dang I guess i3 4160 + 980 is not enough to play this game :( was really looking forward to it

I have a similar problem with a i3 2020 and a 970. Wanted to play it too but oh well.

980 is almoat 1060. Not a really big difference at all.

I think the concern was for the i3.

[Max_Power]

I have an older cpu at i5-2500k, on a gtx1060 6gb graphics card, I am also wondering if I will be able to play this time. As an example, my cpu doesnt meet requirement for ff15 but I could play the demo at very high quality (havent tried the full game though)

Any Modern i5 and i7 will do fine, that includes a 2500k and 2600k

And yes, a 2500k is fine for FF XV, but it tends to bottleneck at times, FF XV is a CPU hungry game so i7's or current gen i5's come in handy with it.

Dual Core i3's might be pushing it, but current gen i3's that are Quad Cores will do fine.
