Patch Notes and PC System Specs

4.7... Nice overclock. Water or air? I'm a wuss, mine's at a comfortable 4.5

i rly need to upgrade at one point or another, though at the mom finding sufficient space for the game will be my biggest worry. Let´s hope "They shall not pass" ain´t to big.

My PC specs...

AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz
4.0GB RAM
Windows 10 64-bit

*goes crying into a corner*

I may be able to upgrade it at least to 8gbs (max), so I don't have much to worry on that aspect. It might work on lowest settings just like some other games do on my pc, but I don't know. I'll just have to wait and see.

Morning, Pearl. THank you for your replies to my posts. I have enjoyed reading your feedback and engaging in this dialogue.   I just read that EVGA is due to release the "GTX 1080Ti FTW v. 3 w/ iCX Cooling" soon and it actually now has a Gigabyte-esque 3-fan design, which looks odd on an EVGA card since for years we are used to seeing their familiar dual-fan designs...But it does look pretty cool and the specs and performance, I can only imagine would be as much of a step up from the FTW2 or FTW as the 980 Ti version was....Yet there also comes the price hike and premium, which based on current dollar-vaue calculations I can only guess that it would be very nearly or dead-on 2000.00 CDN dollars.  That is one hell of an expensive card.  And to think that by next Summer or Fall 2018 it too will be obselete because of Volta....really makes me shutter.  But you have to stop and think "As advanced as the tech and features are in every new release....Do we REALLY truly need it for (whatever games) we play or whatever else we do?"  We have to draw the line somewhere and simply enjoy whatever system configuration we have, else we will never be able to keep up with all the latest and greatest technology, because the money alone will be cripplingly prohibitive unless you're a millionaire.

   I mean, look at how long it has taken for games to become as demanding as they are.  It took most of the last decade for Designers to actually start "Recommending" the use of quadcore processors over dualcore.  And it has only been within the last two or three years, by my estimate, that games have begun actually using 3gb of VRam so 4 was the magic number since about 2013-15ish....I mean when I bought my last GTX980 games were still barely using 2 to 3 GB of VRAM....How long will it take to actually make use of the staggering 8GB or the 11GB on the TI?

Not by itself no, you need a graphics card

Seriously, without knowing your other system components it is almost impossible to answer that question. Also, are you gonna play in 1080p, 1440p or 4K?

What I've seen of that CPU is pretty good but not mind blowingly so frame rate wise. 

I'd say ultra settings is a long shot. I'd be quite surprised if you managed to get to ultra with that card.

My guess is you will manage high settings on 1080p if you have the 7870. If it is the 7850 1GB you will most likely have to settle with medium or even low settings. Even with the CPU upgrade.

Only a guess though as it depends on how hard the game is on the CPU.
 

if you're worried about the budget and can wait a couple more months, consider the cheaper R5 Ryzen CPUs as well; particularly the 1600x looks like it will be better for gaming because of its higher base clock vs. more cores in the R7 series. But even if you go with the 1700 I think 800$ will be quite enough to build a PC that will run the game smoothly at 1080p. It doesn't have to be a 500$ card
