Wow, I'd love to see some more people talk about the performance, because I'm not sure I believe it. Mass Effect 3 and Inquisition both ran like poo poo at first for me.
The modern version of Frostbyte is a much more refined engine than the older versions- BF3/4 ran like unwashed garbage too, while Battlefront and BF:1 run pretty great.
We'll be able to get live impressions of performance soon as I said, but everything from PAX/reviewer leaks points to it being pretty good.

I think it might be more about the game and less about TW3, that'd be a big improvement.

So serious talk- My computer's graphics card can meet all of the minimum requirements with spades, with one exception. I only have 1 GB of Video RAM, compared to the 2 GB required.


Everything else I exceed. If I have the graphics quality and resolution turned down, would the game run pretty well on my machine? I've been playing Dragon Ball Xenvoerse 2 on here with the same set up and problem.

Is that on a 5770 card? I don't think it's going to run well at all. Maybe at 1024 res low detail without AA / AF.

TW3 would be superbad but you should get away with DA:O

Lmao upgrade that poo poo. It will not run good at all, no amount of turning the resolution down will make it run at a playable speed, if you have half the vram needed for the minimum spec.

Like, what video card meets the requirements with spades but only has 1gb of vram? I don't recall even budget cards sold within the last 4 to 5 years with only 1gb of memory.

E: a GeForce GT720 isn't even a card iirc it is built into the motherboard. Yeah dude that won't run well at all.

If I am wrong and it is a half height card, there are plenty of half height cards out there that are newer, but really what you are describing is exactly why I moved to buying a mid-tower of case 12 years ago and just upgrading the parts inside.

E2: there's not a lot of selection for half height video cards. This one is like a hundred bucks and is probably infinitely more powerful than what you're using now, it does come with a low-profile bracket that is half-width.

I like the idea of a character who is super invasive on personal space either in affectionate or antagonistic ways. Hope they take advantage of that. I also like that he has a seemingly huge extended family and hope that plays into his story a lot.

This is adorable :v:

But yeah with just 1 GB of VRAM you'll suffer, even turning everything to minimum might not help (and it's certainly not gonna be pretty).

The GPU or part picking megathreads in SH/SC have plenty of people who could tell you about good half-height cards if you want to replace it, though.

Post in the ITX thread in hardware, they'll give a ton of advice. I don't think your current card will handle it well at all though.

The char design in this game looks like it's gone downhill a ton since ME2. Guy looks like a deformed scrotum.

something like this: nothing is explained and it is all in the novels and other sources. but basically, the forerunners come back. they are led by a figured called The Didact who has a thing called The Composer which he will use on humans to turn them into robots. he does not like humans because humans had a prehistoric space empire that fought the flood and the forerunners and were all-round super hardcore badasses, humanity ooh-rah. meanwhile, chief finds another forerunner called The Librarian who tells him that everything he has ever done and everything humanity did to make him and the SPARTANS was deliberately planted by her when the didact broke humanity back to stone age primitives and she even encoded an immunity to The Composer in his DNA for this exact problem.

there's also a The Mantle and a The Cryptum and a bunch of other dumb stuff.

but the chief/cortana part of the plot was a great coda. it's just surrounded by so much dumb bullshit.

edit: oh, and the UNSC had been burned back to earth by the covenant but they're the top dogs during halo 4 and totally unchallenged and they've built this mammoth super ship and a whole host of even-better spartans and

Haha, I played Halo 4 to the end and loved it, and I remember literally none of this except for the Cortana part (and the bad guy being called the Didact I guess).
