PC System Requirements speculation

It's not possible to tell even with recommended spec, have to wait for actual release and people tweaking with it. Check out LowSpecGamer if you plan to play on a toaster

I've found today that the closer the day for "Spec Release" gets...the more I am apprehensive about my current rig. I just read the news about "PC Reqs being release within the next 2 weeks....March 1st at the latest" (which heightens my anticipation). Even though I upgraded about six months ago and I did buy what was then (in July 2016) some top-of-the line hardware (ie the Intel 6850 and the Phoenix SLI from Gigabyte)...I have that nagging fear that my system

won't run barely even at Medium settings with lousy fps (well under 30), or that it will barely scratch the surface for the Minimum Requirements. That being said, although it is the newest tech, I am not overly hyped or sold on the Z270/7700K line-up. To me, it looks like little more than a rebadged Z170/6700 with some minor cosmetic differences. And because I wanted the extra PCI-E lanes to run true 2-way SLI in x16 along with the option of M.2...I chose the setup that (at the time) was the best way to get 40 PCI-E lanes. (Plus it was hardware that was all well within my budget, so why not?).

From the games I have (ie DA:I)...I now get an average of 105 fps on Ultra settings running at 2560x1440 with fractional if any screen tearing during the cutscenes, which is so marginal it barely even registers with me, let alone bothers me...SO I'm guessing I'll get the same performance for ME:A. If this is the case then I will be quite happy. But I can't help but wonder "would I get better performance from a 7700K with a Z270 if I had waited to upgrade?"

My full list of Upgrades as of July 2016 (from a Haswell based 4770 w/ Asus Maximus VI):

-Intel 6850K (from a stock 4770)
-Gigabyte Phoenix SLI (from an Asus Maximus VI Hero)
-2 EVGA 4gb 980 FTWs (from a single EVGA GTX 760 Dual FTW)
-Samsung 950 Pro M.2 w/NVMe (from a WD 1TB Black in combo with a Samsung EVO 840)
- G.SKILL 32GB DDR4@2400 (from 32 GB DDR3@1600 from GSKILL)
-EVGA 850watt P2 (from a Corsair HX 750)
-Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (from Win 7 64bit Pro)

I know I'm just ranting and worrying for nothing...I'm sure I'll be fine. This is just me blowing off steam, but thanks for reading and I'll see you in Andromeda.

I'm curious though....With the new hardware I've listed...How does that stack up against the new 7700K and, say, the Z270 from Gigabyte?

I suggest you buy a cheap ps4 instead

10 fps is just not worth it. You will atleast get 30 fps on the ps4.

Not to mention you can get games cheaper on PC as well.

Since we're kind of on the topic, any thoughts on my setup? What upgrades would you recommend (hopefully without having to replace everything)? I was thinking I might need a new video card, but I don't know what would work well with what I currently have.

-MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
-AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W
-ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS
-CORSAIR RM Series RM1000 1000W ATX12V v2.4 and EPS 2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

270x is showing some age, but if this game runs like battlefield 1 you should be able to get 60 with low to medium settings

@ Fulcrum290 Thanks for that link.. even though I almost choked on my beer it was well worth it...

the only problems I find with consoles in the thrice damned controllers... I just cant used the things

Hell of a lot better than PS4: FACT.

Can you get a Pro in the states for $400? I'd go with that and wait till you can get a decent rig for $1k ish or so.... I've only ever regretted skimping on builds - one part skimped means 10 parts gimped further down the line.

Shit yo, that's a good catch phrase for Dell or something eh

Won't be able to run it? Let's not lie to the guy.

10 fps doesnt really qualify as be able to run it.

Seriously, why bother if your pc is only gonna run at the 30 fps range. Atleast the ps4 version might have the chance to run at 60 fps.
