i5-2400 3.10GHz

GeForce GTX 670 4gb

8gb Ram

?

thank you, getting kind of confused on the cards. the R7 370 seems to beat the pee out of the 750ti in benchmarks, but all the reviews seem to beat up the R7 for using a 3 yr old architecture.

My specs:

That's what I've been getting. Any recommendations?

I have always upgraded when a game I really wanted forced me to do so. I have actually gone "very long" without an upgrade so far. My

i5-3570k

GTX 560ti (440)

8G ram

old slow HD

have done really well (1080) so far, with

GTA5 (Fans were going full speed/noise)

Far Cry 4,

and everything else up to now. This game may force an upgarde though. I will try it first before opening the wallet however.

Note: Black Friday is just a few weeks away from Nov-10.

Before anyone gets too worried about the minimum specs, there is such a massive difference in performance between the AMD CPU and Intel CPU, plus the Nvidia GPU and AMD GPU I don't see how anyone can discount almost any resonable hardware before actually trying to run it in the game. Here's a comparison between a Phenom II X4 965 and i5-2400. These are from the same processor families and generation as the i5-2300 and X4 940 in the minimum requirements (and while both are clocked higher the clock differences between them and the minimum CPUs is about the same so the comparison is valid)

The Intel part is much faster than the AMD part.

Here's a comparison between the two GPUs listed in the minimum requirements:

The HD 7850 is vastly faster than the GTX 550 Ti (over twice as fast). I don't see how any credence can be placed in the minimum specs for the game with the hardware Bethesda lists is so wildly mismatched in terms of performance.

"If" a Phenom II X4 940 is the bare minimum for a CPU here's a comparison between it and the old Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550:

Even that CPU slightly beats the Phenom II. THAT should be the minimum Intel processor for the game, again, if the X4 940 is truly as low as you can go in an AMD part. Same goes for GPUs. If a GTX 550 Ti is the absolutely slowest GPU you can use here's the corresponding AMD part (and it ain't an HD 7850):

An HD 7750 trades blows with a GTX 550 Ti all the way. Again, with the total and complete mismatch of hardware at the low end I don't see how you can place any confidence in what the developers have said is the minimum until the game actually comes out and people report in with their specs and what quality settings they can actually use.

You're fine.

...unless the recommended specs is bunk you're not maxing it, but you're fine.

You have to figure that the recommended is for 60fps on max settings. If you can accept 30-35 minimum FPS and something above that for average FPS, then you have a lot of wiggle room in the tweaking of the settings.

the 7850 has the required 2 gb of ram, the gtx 550 doesn't. at least not the one in your benchmark.
