I can only get 1600x900 for game resolution even though window resolution is at 1920x1080. Is this a limitation of the trial, of not a fully completed download (I'm at roughly 60%) or of my graphics card? Specs: Windows 7 Intel Core i7-3770 at 3.40ghz 16GB RAM GeForce GTX 770 Are you using presets or custom settings? If you're using presets, then it's going to default to 900p based on your GPU. If it's something other than that, then I have no idea. Game is preset at medium settings What settings do you recommend running the game at? |

Game is preset at medium settings What settings do you recommend running the game at? It depends on what you want, 60 stable fps , if you dont mind with fluctuations, if you want higher graphics and you can deal with 30 fps etc |

The game runs comfortably as is with medium graphics setting at 1080p. Why both giving screen resolution resize an option? |

So, I'm over or at the recommended specs yet the game uses 100% cpu? Hi, you should not worry about the CPU usage since the game is running on FrostBite 3 Engine --- It actually uses ALL your available cores and threads without slowing down your system (hence the close to 100% usage) but at the same time allows the game to handle more complex particles, effects etc without having the game stuttering due to the usual limitation of max. 2 cores 4 threads (!!! or even single threaded !!!) found in most of the games in the market. So having more CPU usage doesn't necessarily mean the CPU is too weak, it could be the game engine utilizing your CPU better, too! |

Damn I'm scared... Is there anyone with an i3 here that tried to run the game? Besides, how is the game running on AMD cards? From what I remember DA:I ran better on AMD cards...
EDIT: to be clear my specs are the following (no chance for an upgrade for the time being):
Win 7 64bit
i3 3220
R9 270X
8gb RAM

i5 6400 8GB RAM Rx 480 8GB 17.3.2 Exactly the same performance at all resolutions and all settings, except Ultra. CPU is bottlenecking my system but CPU is not at 100%, it is stucked at 60/70% usage :/. This problem is exactly the same that a lot of people had in the first weeks of BF1. I have seen a couple of videos and many CPUs got the same problem, are always at 60/70% but GPU is at 100%. I'm sure that an Rx 480 can move this game perfectly at medium/high settings (furthermore is the GPU that you put in recomended settings). I will reserve some hours before buy the game to test Day 1 patch and if the performance doesn't improve I won't buy the game. I'm tired to buy bad ports and lose my afternoons finding solutions in forums. It's incredible that I can play GTA V, Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 at 2K 60fps with high settings, and this game can't hold 60fps at 720p... There must be something else wrong. I have the same CPU. Only 8 GB more RAM and an Nitro+ RX470 also 8GB. I play the game on Ultra at 1080p. The lowest frames I had was 50ish, which is absolutely fine in my opinion. |

Hi guys,
this is my feedback after my 10 Hrs trial.
I5 4670K 3.8 Ghz (stock)
24 Go RAM Ddr3
GTX 970 Strix OC (factory)
27' 144 Hz 1080p
Win 10 x64
game on HDD
i have been able to play in good condition, i have not get a single crash during my test and after some tweaking on the graphics option the game was pretty fluid.
all set in High appart the texture quality set to ultra and shadows set to medium to save some frame.
I'm sure at the release i will be able to tweak more and push some others options higher, but i'm happy with that.
Can't wait ++

I ran trial on (absolute ULTRA settings, 1080p):
GTX 1080
8GB DDR3 2400 MHZ RAM
i7-4790K 4.0 GHz
And I had no problems with FPS count (Note: the board of The Tempest is very taxing on the GPU, as this was the only area I got dips to ~40 FPS at times - still was not causing any problems in the feel of gameplay tho')
The 16 GB of RAM in the recommended specs at proven to be way overestimated, as ME:A ran for me nicely (my RAM usage was around 6-7 GB and I didn't near the 8 GB cap on my system).
I did have odd occasional crashes however... but we are before many patches and Nvidia's GameReady driver is yet to hit the net next week.

I'm running a solid 60 GPS with room to spare (and that's before the new driver), at 1080, ultra everything except film grain. Hate that look. I'm on an 8350 OC'd to 4.5, 16 gigs, and an 980ti. Also have an SSD.
Very happy with the performance so far. For whatever else you can say about the game (and I have a very positive, but not perfect review), it seems well optimized.

Just be aware that if you go over 1080p there are going to be times the game wants more... I was pinging over 9 gigs of RAM usage while on Eos. |

Yeah, I'll probably get 2 sticks of 8 GB DDR3 RAM in a month or so, then sell my current 2x4 GB ones. For now I'm happy, that 8 GB of RAM is still plenty for 1080p gaming. |

If anybody's unsure about whether they can run the game, I don't recommend System Requirements Lab anymore except if you want to test against the minimum. They are all about clickbait and dishonest about whether you've got the latest drivers. I recommend this site instead:  You can test your own results here.I doubt it's an exact science right now, but it gives you a far better idea of how you'll match up against recommended specs, if you weren't sure how your GPU and CPU stack up against cards and processors you don't have. |

G4400 is a 2-core 2-thread processor clocking at 3.30GHz and it will severely bottleneck the GPU given I've seen how Battlefield 1 ran on the same processor. It will require additional .cfg workaround just to launch ME:Andromeda. Yes it runs the game but expect a lot of stutters and the game running at sub 20~30fps. |

I currently have an i5 2500k with a GTX 970.
Tempted to upgrade to an i7 3770 purely because more modern games run far more stable with i7s because of hyperthreading.
But i just cant decide if i should pull the trigger.

Here are my specs: AMD FX 8150 AMD R9 380 4GB 16 GB RAM With this set up I got mostly med/high settings @1080 with frame rate range between 35 and 60 for the most part. I didn't mess around too much with the settings, because you have to restart the game to see them take effect :/ But with the settings I did pick, the game looked really good! I had V-Sync turned off, but any screen tearing went away once I turned a few things down to Medium. And I definitely found that using Temporal Anti-Aliasing made a big difference over the lower setting (FXAA I think it was?) in getting rid of the jagged lines. I wasn't planning on testing out the laptop, since I figured it was a no-go, but I saw some people had some success with the 860M, so I might just give that a try when the game is officially released. |

But i just cant decide if i should pull the trigger. Will give you a little extra "umph" thats for certain. Might be worthwhile to look at upgrading RAM to something that is higher speed, although it would depend on your budget and current needs. |

My screen native resolution is 1600x900 and my PC Specs:
FX-8320E 3.2Ghz
12GB RAM DDR3
Radeon R7 265 2GB
I'm hoping to run the game at least at 30FPS on a mixed of low and medium settings on that resolution.

Okay, so it looks like my issues were due to throttling from my overclock. I reset my GPU to default and I'm getting stable 40-55 FPS on 1080p medium settings and a 55-75 fps on 900p. Dropping it to 720 would no doubt lock me in at a solid 60+, and with vsync, I can lock the game to a solid 1080p30. So anyone with a 7970-280x, if your card didn't have top of the line cooling when you bought it, I suggest dropping your overclock, either in general, or just for Andromeda. Or if you can spare it, buy a 480. You can get one foe $170 with Jet anf the Triple15 code. Have you replaced the thermal paste on your GPU? That might help with the throttling issues if it's been a while, and it isn't that much harder to do than replacing paste on a CPU. I haven't, actually. I should probably do that. I still plan on jumping on a 480 once I decide on whether or not Asus's white cooler is no big deal since it'll save me $20. |

I can only get 1600x900 for game resolution even though window resolution is at 1920x1080. Is this a limitation of the trial, of not a fully completed download (I'm at roughly 60%) or of my graphics card? Specs: Windows 7 Intel Core i7-3770 at 3.40ghz 16GB RAM GeForce GTX 770 You can try switching from Full screen to Borderless Window. |
