PC Specs Thread - We're out of beta now

Did you not look at the videos I posted? My post prove that a FX-6300/750ti combo can play gen 8 games perfectly fine and better than a PS4. If he gets a higher grade CPU than a FX-6300 its going to create a bottleneck with his 750ti. Which he will require him to upgrade his videocard to avoid this, thus spending more money.

Your perception of AMD CPU is wrong, its that typical fanboy internet forum rant that everyone just reads in forums without doing your own research. AMD CPUs are perfectly fine for gaming. Its all about what you want to do with your rig that constitute what you need to buy. What I suggested is more than enough for SFV and current gen gaming and it saves him on money.

Now if he wants to make a 4k future proof PC, that will be another subject entirely. AMD is about to drop its Zen CPU architecture this year and its looking to be very competitive.

bought some $350 video card yesterday yooo peecee mastur rayce :looney:

@“Trouble Brewing” I appreciate the thought, but SFV really is the only thing I care about running, I haven’t really cared for current titles for the last 2 console gens lol

@Projectjustice Thank you for the help and suggestions, I’ve definitely learned from all this lol

Hey- Can you guys help me out?

Wondering if I will be able to run this game @ 1080p, all low settings.

i5 4200M @ 2.5ghz, Nvidia GT750M SLI, 6GB ram

If not what about 720?

Well you are on a laptop, so the moble chips are not as good as their desktop counterparts. I doubt you can run it at 1080p.

I’d use Rising Thunder as a check.

Right on, definitely follow Projectjustice’s advice. That’s plenty of CPU for you.

I don’t mean to fully derail this, but in case anyone is thinking of a PC build, they may want to consider (or ignore!) my response.

The vids you posted weren’t of particularly demanding games. If you just want to play last gen games that are being marketed as current gen, buying a console is the way to go anyway. For anyone looking at this that may want to look at things like the Witcher 3s of the world (your proposed rig runs it at only 30-40fps at reduced settings), you’ll want to look at more power in your build. Also with pascal around the corner and the wildcard that is dx12, it’s quite likely that current budget PC builds won’t be looking too hot by the end of the year.

I mean this in all honesty–I’m willing to have my eyes opened. What AMD CPU competes with Intel at the enthusiast level? I’m not really seeing anything out there from AMD that really competes with the i5-6600k.

Thankyou for the response. My graphics card is about as good as the minimum req graphics, but its my i5 @ 2.5ghz I’m concerned about.

Well, if I can run it at 720p and it looks descent I’ll still probably keep it and not return it on steam.

So now the videos I posted arent demanding games? Thats the thing with this generation, everything on PS4 and XB1 arent too demanding. MKX, Fallout 4 and Dying Light arent last gen games. You are completely incorrect about that. The point of my videos is to show that the CPU/GPU combo can handle gen 8. Which I clearly proved. Also I disagree with you, Dying Light is a beautiful game and open world that is pretty demanding. On my AMD FX-8350/R9 290 Rig I play it at max graphical settings and get 60FPS.

Ok lets play your game. You want Witcher 3? Lets do Witcher 3

Here’s Witcher 3 on a FX-6300/750ti out performing the PS4 version graphically and framerate wise.

You got any other request? Let me know, I can do this all day.

We all know that Intel CPU outperform AMDs offering at the moment but that doesnt make AMD bad CPU for gaming. If i was getting into other type of CPU heavy threading programming and encoding I would get a Intel CPU. However, for gaming they are perfectly fine. In fact they actually do better than Intel when it comes to game streaming due to the having overall more Cores than Intel offerings. Whats great about AMD is price for performance.

Streaming benchmarks. AMD vs Intel.

Intel is better, that is a fact, but for these intents and purposes AMD is great, heck I am thrilled to bits that my 2010 athlon x4 can run sfv at max settings 1080p, so that hex core will be plenty of juice for sfv for years to come.

If I was building a new all purpose computer I’d go Intel, but if I was building just for SFV I’d go AMD.

Anyone tell me if this is a decent mATX build?

I have an old Samsung 830 SSD for OS.
all prices Euro, buying from MindFactory.de

Any idea how well SFV will do on dual core CPU’s?

I have a G3258 lying around that I’m thinking of overclocking and using in a cheap build to leave at work.

Is that around 900 usd?

I can’t comment on price because I’m not familiar with the euro market, the build is solid though. Will that gpu work with that mobo/processor? I would put the build in pcpartpicker.com to check for compatibility issues. I don’t use amd so I could be wrong but I believe you will have compatibility issues.

Sweet build. SFV 1080p max settings easy!!!

Terrible, everything now is build for 4 cores and up. 2 cores doesnt cut it anymore.

Not always. Depends if the developers are lazy or not. Being a console port though, I admit the chances aren’t great.

Can your run SF5 in 1440P/60 fps or better with 6600k/980 couple?

I misread the OP. I haven’t played tried the beta on this rig. I intend to use it on the release version though. I’m not well learned in this stuff but OP has 3570K/760 and ran it smoothly at max settings. Also I ran the rig through canyourunit and it told me it can run SFV at max easy.

Incorrect, PS4 and XB1 games are designed around at least 6 cores. SFV will not run on a dual core period. Yea… so if you want to titter on that edge, go have a ball. Just dont get upset when you fall off it when you first boot SFV on that dual core Rig of yours.

I know, that’s what I’m saying. It’s why I asked in the first place if anybody had tried it.

But I have the parts just lying around so I’ll give it a go and see.
