Patch Notes and PC System Specs

What is your current CPU, MB and GFX? And do you OC?

Not sure if this has relevance for you, but might as well share it: Is it time to upgrade your i5 2500k?

If you're on a Sandy Bridge like me, I'd recommend G.Skill TridentX 2133 CL9, because that's what I just ordered.

I'd go with the RX 480 8GB, if it's in your budget. They're a bit more power hungry than the 1060, but if you plan to keep the card for a couple years I think that you'll be glad to have those extra 2GB. But from what I've heard the Asus ones are a bit on the louder side. The MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 8G seems to be one of the best and most quiet custom designs of this card.

If you're in Germany, I suggest looking at geizhals.de to find the best prices for PC components

edit: might be a good idea to check your PSU as well before you upgrade; I originally wanted to get a more expensive GPU but ended up choosing the RX 480 because most other cards would have brought my PSU too close to the limit. But I'm very happy with the RX 480.

I've personally always been a radeon user myself and this is the first time I'm considering something else. Thanks for the Amazon link. Yeah, I kind of thought that the 3GB felt a bit low. Okay, I'll take the 3GB card off my list and try to figure out between the 6GB and the 8GB cards. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Thank you for the info. It was very helpful and I will definitely check out MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 8G. I'm in Finland, unfortunately, but hopefully the prices aren't that bad. Thanks again.

thank you! i got along with an acer laptop for gaming for many years, i can deal with low settings. i did preorder before the specs came out because i was super hyped and i didn't expect them to be so high, but i can always return it if it's really unplayable.

First to play trial and release day can't come any sooner!

my rig shouldn't have any issues running it

Windows 7 (should i upgrade to windows 10? would dx12 make a big difference?)
i7 2600k oc to 4.1
12gb ram
gtx 1050ti oc (needed to upgrade from my old 560ti and i got a super sweet deal on it. not a hardcore pc gamer and didnt wanna spend much on a card)



edit: btw would like some origin buddies to play me:a mp with =D  

My tip for anyone thinking of upgrading *just* for this game - don't. Or rather, do if you would upgrade regardless, especially if you are on the lower end of the scale (the minimum system reqs). But first see how it plays with your current rig, and upgrade later if you have to. Chances are that even if you don't have the gear stated in the minimum specs you can still play the game with lower grahpical settings.

Then again, if you already want to upgrade, by all means do it.

Hmm? There are certain things on the PC that I can Upgrade and I can't the CPU is one that I can upgrade, it is only clipped in similar to the RAM. I just don't want it overheating.

As long as I can run it on Medium or Low I can cope with that thanks for the input!

I'm running an i5 4570, 16gb ram and a gtx770 on a 1440p monitor......will it run on at least medium (hoping for medium/high)?
Thinking of upgrading to a gtx1060 6Gb for this game and to extend the lifetime of this system for 1 or 2 more years....is this a wise upgrade?

I do also own a i5 6600 with a gtx 1070 and 16gb of ram, but that is hooked up to my VR headset (Vive)and in another room with no real practical way to sit down and game with mouse/keyboard and I hate switching my computer back and forth.
My initial plan was to move my VR computer to the living room in 2 years time and buy a new one for VR at that time.

But it seems my older computer is getting behind faster than my initial assesment and wont last 2 more years, so maybe do the upgrade of the videocard to extend the livetime and play Andromeda at a decent fps or would I still be fine with my current setup?

For gaming, would it really be worth it to go the extra mile from the GTX1060 3GB to the GTX1060 6GB?

No. Would make 2-10 FPS in favor of the 6GB version but mostly not noticable.

UNLESS you hit the VRAM limit on the 3GB card, then your game will be like old slide shows...
