Razorwing Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 So with my PC frankenstien'ed (upgraded a little).. my friend and I was wondering if my PC can actually run Gears of War 4? It's the most graphic demanding game to come out this year. My Specs i5-750 @ 3.8GHZ OC 16GB DDR3 ram EVGA GTX 1070 FTW I won't be sad or anything if it doesn't work (I know I need a CPU upgrade but I can't afford it). Right now the comp runs very smoothly, it can even run The Witcher on Ultra above 60FPS, same with Rise of the Tomb Raider (Ultra 60FPS+) and Forza Motorsport 6 Apex (Ultra 60FPS+). I just really want to know if that old of a CPU can still run since none of the released games have a i5-3470 as a minimum for the CPU. Not even GTAV has that for a minimum CPU spec.

I mean they could've chosen an i3 (GTAV's min spec is an i3 cpu) instead of the i5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm really interested in what it can really do. Afterall, it's a 7 year old CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+virtorio MVC Posted August 22, 2016 MVC Share Posted August 22, 2016 Ignore the min spec, often games will run fine on machine well under it, and sometimes they struggle to run on machines that exceed the recommended spec. Not worth thinking about until it's out and people have played it and you know what kind of port you're dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmeunit Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Especially since yours is overclocked. That will help offset anything there. They can't test every CPU out there, and there is no reason for them to go back 7 years. 4-5 years is probably a reasonable time for them and they just don't bother with older.

IanHead Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I have similar specs to you there except my processor is older than yours, and yes everything runs just fine. My Oculus Rift software keeps telling me that my PC doesn't meet the minimum specs because of the processor requirement, but all the same I've nary seen a single dropped frame in most games I play, which are mostly at 1440p, close to maxed out settings and running at 144hz. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, you do know that the Oculus is not running at 1440p and 144hz right? That is the game window on your desktop and not actually what is running on the Oculus itself. They are two completely different things. Add to this fact that most Oculus games are going to autodetect your current settings and change the resolution for the Oculus itself so you can actually play the games, and without knowing your exact setup but you yourself saying you do not meet the minimum specs, that means chances are the games on your Oculus are defaulting to the lowest possible settings to meet the minimum frame rate requirements.
