Maybe I'm the only one curious about this but how well will this game run if you had exactly the reccommended settings later in the game? I'm slightly better than the reccommended across the board and am curious what I should expect with a big sprawling city.

I have a I5 3570k OC'd to 4.5ghz
GTX 680 and lots of ram.
 
My question isn't so much about meeting the required specs as I'm pretty sure I will, but what do you think about my ability to make the size to 25 tiles with my setup.

i7 3630QM @ 2.40 GHz
8 GB RAM
Windows 8.1 64bit
GeForce GTX 660M

gpu a bit better than minimum, cpu better than recommended . How well it will run with 25 tiles, I don't know, but i suspect that you must have a better gpu.

Better than recommended
 
Hi All -

I am hoping you can help me:

I have a notebook with a GeForce GTX 260M CUDA 1GB. When I go to canyourunit.com, it says my graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements. Looking at the minimum requirements, it states GeForce GTX 260...am I missing something? Shouldn't it meet the minimum requirements or does the "M" in my graphics card mean it won't work? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

You answered this question yourself. The "M" means it is a mobile GPU and they are totally different. It does not perform equally as the GPU without "M", which is a desktop GPU.

M stands for mobile, and they are significantly less powerful than their desktop counterparts. But thats not the main problem though. They apparently "goofed up" (acording to the community manager) on the minimum specs, bacause the Geforce 200 series does not support directX11, which is necessary to evne start the game.

It's a better gpu, but only you can judge if it's worth it.




cpu a bit lower than recommended, gpu better than recommended so you should be ok


Welcome to the forum
We don't know if or how well intel gpu will work. No information about that yet. I think the Iris card will work, but I don't know for sure. Hopefully CO can say something about it before release



Welcome to the forum.
Your cpu is better than minimum, your gpu a bit lower than minimum. The game will run, but how well i don't know.

Thanks I am looking forward to the game, especially since what I went though with Sim City, but I am feeling a little disappointment. I preordered the game, so will there be any word on if and when it will be compatible before release?

Thanks.

I pass the minimum requirements but I fall a tad short of the "recommended" requirements. So I'm curious how you think the game will run on my PC. I can run the latest Sim City fine, but it has lower requirements.

i3-2100 (I forget the mobo, it's an Asus but it was a micro-ATX cheap one, went budget on this build)
8GB Ram
nVidia 560Ti
1TB HDD w/ Win7

Does anyone know if this game supports Hyperthreading? If so would my dual-core with HT be on par with an quad-core i5 that doesn't have HT?

Also in my situation, without having to build a new PC, which would people think would be better to upgrade first, my cpu or my video card? I looked up some comparisons and a GTX660 didn't seem that huge of a leap over my 560Ti, so it seems like maybe replacing the cpu would be a better investment if I only did one.

Thanks for the help!
 
Here's my specs, thanks!

RAM: 4GB (DDR2)

Hard to say how well your system will perform, since no one of us have played the game yet. Play it first, then you will find out if you need to upgrade.

Somewhere between minimum and recommended.

Ok, I overclocked my GPU by about 10% and it does have a boost speed as well as my CPU. So my CPU can Turbo up to 3.4Ghz and my GPU is now about 10-15% more efficent, plus it does have 2GB of dedicated memory.

i7 3630QM @ 2.40 GHz (3.4GHz Turbo)
8 GB RAM
Windows 8.1 64bit
GeForce GTX 660M (overclocked by 10-15%)

I guess the million dollar question is will having a large city need more CPU power or GPU power. It might need more CPU power to run the simulation and less GPU if the draw distance isn't too great.
