Patch Notes and PC System Specs

aaah if anyone remembers I had a weird random derpy graphics card or something that confused ppl some when I posted my pc specs asking if you thought I could run the game, and folk were like try the trial just in case, and report back with how it went, well - I'm running the game fine enough and haven't had any issues (been playing a few hours). graphic quality isn't amazing but that was going to be the case however you sliced it. I'm satisfied and not having issues loading freezing jerkiness nothing like that. There was a weird thing where the graphics looked scratchy but it stopped when I changed that film grain setting in options. I get the feeling graphics would be better if I changed and trialled and errored other settings too but with only ten hours to play I didn't wanna spend more time dicking around with settings, just wanted to get into it. Will fiddle round more after launch.
Tl;dr I'm pleased, it works fine, thanku

For those with a GTX 960. It looks like he is running on all medium settings.
I would personally have a mix of low, medium and high and maybe have AO off.

Can anyone tell me, who has early access, how the game runs on non K Sandy / Ivy or haswell i5 cpu? I'm about to upgrade to Skylake i7 but the news just got out that Ryzen R5 is coming aprill 11th, and i might wait for it instead. That means I'll have to play with this rig for about a month. I have a non K sandy i5 cpu overclocked to 3600mhz, its like as fast a stock Ivy I5 3570 or maybe a very tiny bit faster. I have 8gb ddr3, and an RX480.

Im running game on 16GB DDR, 970GTX and I5-6600k @4ghz

Probably averaging around 40-60fps (not left habbitat 7 yet though)

Some thoughts to point out, for those using the 970gtx or any gcard with less than 4GB VRAM we won't be able to ultra everything.

Currently i've dropped post processing and shadows down to high everything else maxed no film grain effect. I dropped shadows down to high to stop the game using over 3.5GBvram to prevent my 970gtx from slowing down (the last 500mb of vram isnt as fast).

Once i get to EOS i'll let you guys know if the VRAM is staying below 3.5GB

I'm using just over 8GB of ram on these settings so i suppose a little more tweaking needed for anyone using 8GB ram to prevent slowdown.

Do you know your exact GPU model?  I have an R9 280, and a CPU that I don't think is as good as yours (AMD FX-6300), and the game runs fine for me on mostly medium settings.  I do have 16 GB of RAM, but I doubt that is making a huge difference.

Is the game swapping with 8gb?

R9 270x 2gb ,I5 4690k 3,5 ghz , 16gb ram runs not very good.
At high I have 20-25 fps,max 30.
1 week ago,I played BF1 on high with 50-60 fps.
SW Battlefront runs Ultra at 60 fps.

I know,but I was very confident when I played BF1,because it run it very good...so I expected the same with Andromeda.

I'm very impressed with the pc version.

It can only improve from here on out. Hopefully the Nvidia will fix some of the fps drops that I'm getting with my GTX 1070.

I am trying the early access right now. Here are my specs and performance FPS:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @4ghz
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: ASUS ROG 970 GTX 4GB
HDD: 500 SSD

I have turned on everything up to ultra. The only thing i turned of was the Film Grain effect..never liked that in Mass Effect. But I am running between 40-60 FPS constantly, only had one dip to 31, but it only lastest for 2 seconds.

Overall, game is good and fun, can't wait for the full version next week:-)

Does anyone have any idea as to at which point I should go for the console version instead of the pc version, graphics-wise? Low settings? Medium?
