My gaming laptop is starting to fail me. I'll probably go for a desktop this time around but I need to afford the parts

i read all the speculated minimum requirements.
but what of the let's say optimum or recommended for best result recommendations , without going overboard.
i'm going to start buying parts soon , so why aren't they coming out with that info. It's not like they haven't gopt a clue.

They probably want to be done with that before giving out requirements.

Just remembered I played the Star Wars Battlefront beta before at medium-low, and since then I've safely bumped my GPU clock up 100% over what it was at that time, so I'm probably good to go for ME:A.
For anyone wondering how well their current setup might handle Frostbite 3, I went looking the other day for free/demo games using the same engine, and Fifa 17 has a free demo on Origin. I'm sure it's not going to be quite as demanding as ME:A but it'll at least give people a rough ballpark idea of how it'll run.

About the specs:I buyed SW Battlefront,and it runs Ultra on everything.I have a R9 270x graphic card. Should Andromeda run on high-ultra with it?Is the same engine with SW:B,and I don't expect to be more different than ME:A at visual graphics.

Agreed if your system can handle Battlefront and DAI fine you shouln't have a problem with Andromeda I don't think. I've not played Battlefront as I'm not into multiplayer games but DAI runs just fine on my machine so I don't expect any issues with MEA. At least no issues beyond finding room for it on the hard drive or something at least anyway.

Frostbite has come a looooooong way from DA:I to Battlefield 1. BF1 is one of the few games I played last year on PC around release that didn't have major issues. Despite it's inability to have deep modding, FB is pretty well suited for PC. It really feels like DA:I was a testing bed to see what the FB engine could do when put to use in such a radically different way, so I expect Bioware to have learned a lot of what worked and didn't in DA:I. It should also help that they don't have to develop for two different console generations.

Actually BF4 came out a year before DA:I, it also uses Frostbite 3 and it looks quite better than DA:I, besides being much more stable.

I expect my desktop GTX 970 with 4th Gen i7 to have no problems on 1920x1080. I just hope they optimize ME:A as well as Battlefield 1 which runs PERFECTLY on ultra on above rig.

Actually BF4 came out a year before DA:I, it also uses Frostbite 3 and it looks quite better than DA:I, besides being much more stable. It took several months to BF4 to be "stable". BF4 is a 64-player chaos on an immense map with countless things going on at the same time. Some issues are to be expected. One could argue that BF4 was never fully stable; yet it was leagues more stable than DA:I. The multiplayer part of DA:I was an utter fiasco in terms of stability. BF4 also looks significantly better and performs better, despite being a year older than DA:I. DA:I still runs at 30 fps (or below) on both Xbone and PS4, which is embarrassing if compared to Dice's standards. Hopefully Bioware will do a better job with ME:A.

DA:I still runs at 30 fps (or below) on both Xbone and PS4, which is embarrassing if compared to Dice's standards. Hopefully Bioware will do a better job with ME:A. This. DAMP was a four player co-op and lagged something fierce, while BF4 (and BF1) have 64 players play on the same map. A single shotgun blast from one player means that about a dozen pellets are individually tracked by the server, adjusting their damage drop off and bullet drop (and with BF1, bullet drag) as they fly along their path. That's several magnitudes of complexity over DAMP and therefore way more prone to potential bugs. The Battlefield issues were always with multiplayer, but the series also came with a token SP experience, and that ran rock solid out of the box. I expect MEA's requirements to be slightly above those of BF1.

DA:I still runs at 30 fps (or below) on both Xbone and PS4, which is embarrassing if compared to Dice's standards. Hopefully Bioware will do a better job with ME:A. ME:A will also run at 30 fps on both xbone and PS4. Unfortunately that is likely to be the case. And since the PS4 Pro Mass Effect Andromeda video runs at 30 fps, chances are the game will run locked at 30 fps on the PS4 Pro as well. Even if people want to believe otherwise, the PS4 Pro uses a RX480/RX470 Chip downcloack, which is very limited when it comes to running current gen games on an extremely large resolution. Now in terms of optimization Dice has been able to set the standards pretty high with the Frostbite 3 engine on limited console hardware: BF1 Multiplayer 64-player matches run at 50-60 fps on the PS4 Pro and 35-60 fps on the PS4. It is a shame that using the same engine Bioware will probably once again release a game which is simpler, looks worse and performs (for the most part) at half the framerate of what Dice has set.

Actually BF4 came out a year before DA:I, it also uses Frostbite 3 and it looks quite better than DA:I, besides being much more stable. Oh, I know, however, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. DA:I was the first FB3 game that wasn't a FPS. The bread and butter of the FB engine has always been FPS games, and had only ever been used in one non-shooter game before. DA:I was really the first full test to see how well FB3 could perform and what it would be like to use on such a radically different game type. My point was that EA/DICE/Bioware should now have a better grasp of how to utilize the FB3 engine for Bioware-sized RPG games. I expect we'll get several improvements over what what seen in DA:I. That's what I was referring to when I called DA:I a test bed.
