PC Specs Thread - We're out of beta now

[Trouble_Brewing]

not many r290x users on here it seems. i’d really like to know if my card runs it at 1440p maxed before i buy a new monitor. am running 1080p currently and thats fine.

Im a 290 user and I can run the game at 4k.

Out of curiosity, at what settings?

[SonGohanX]

Sorry if this potentially the wrong thread to ask this, but has anyone else tested the game on both an AMD and Nvidia card? (preferably on the same monitor)
I’ve tested an R9 280, R7 260x, 560 ti, and 980. I don’t have any real way to measure, but it definitely feels like I am experiencing a bit of input lag on the AMD cards that I don’t feel on the Nvidias. I’ve done all of the disabling vsync, changing pre-rendered frames to 1, etc.

I do notice that with the AMD cards, even with Vsync disabled (I’ve downloaded Radeonpro and done it through there too) I don’t see any screen tearing, whereas I do with the Nvidia cards, so maybe SF5 is still forcing it somehow or…something?

A mixture of mid to high. I downsample so I turn AA off.

this is my setup lenovo y40 laptop. game runs slow on the lowest settings, but for some reason it runs great during online battle. anyone with tips would be helpful. I do plan on getting a PS4 at some point.

***also recently updated the to the AMD Crimson software which has improved how other games run on my system.

Lower your resolution.

That’s because the game utilizes frame skipping when fighting online (and neglects to do it in offline training).

It’s their way of making low-end PC’s not affect the other player.

Which 2 people in here “disagreed” with me about. lol

Anyways, not much more you can do except use the resolution scaler.

Question. I’m going to take the plunge and assume this whole experience is going to be better on PC than Playstation. Problem is I want mobile and I’m due for a new laptop. I’ve been eye balling the Alienware R17 which comes with a GTX970M - I’m assuming that rig will rip through this game like Chun Li’s legs at a bucks party ( at least looking around the web, it looks like a well equipped card)

Although, does anyone (or has anyone) tested the game on a GTX965M or a 960M? When I start to look at laptops with this card, the price starts to get attractive and I’m wondering if the cash is worth that upgrade (to the 970M). I pretty much only play SF5 and a splash of Fallout.

Tower is not an option. Thoughts?

You may want to look at iBuyPower. Frankly, Alienware is a rip off.

ibuypower is as much a rip off as alienware
build your own

good quad core processor
6gb minimum
750ti and up

60 fps
medium to high settings

He said he wanted a laptop. You can get a custom laptop at iBuypower for cheaper than you can Alienware with better hardware. When I snagged my laptop for iBuypower it had 8GB GTX 880M available, Alienware was charging more money the 4GB version. Up until recently, I travelled a lot. I needed a beastly laptop to game on. Plus traveling with a laptop and arcade stick is easier than travelling with a console. I ended up snagging this in 2014. Still runs anything I want well.

Full HD 1920x1080 LED-Backlit Display
Intel Core i7-4810MQ Mobile Processor (4x 2.8GHz/6MB L3 Cache)
24GB [8GB x 3] 1866MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM Laptop Memory - G.SKILL Ripjaws
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 8GB GDDR5 Video w/ NVIDIA Optimus
256 GB ADATA SX900 SSD
1 TB Laptop Solid State Hybrid Drive with 64MB Cache

It’s ok , I’ve noticed among the PC community when anyone asks for advice on laptops, they tell you to buy a desktop lol

**How does that 880m run SF5? Get away with medium? **

Sorry didn’t see this question before. I run SFV maxed on my laptop at 1080p. I wish they had the benchmark system like SFIV, if they did I share my system rating.

Have you tried the anti-aliasing? IIRC when I turned it off the game felt more responsive. Not sure about vsync.

Vsync is still on. I specifically remember that I couldn’t force it off via RadeonPro or CCC on my 5870 for the SFV beta. Your best bet is to hope AMD implements a fix on CCC since RP doesn’t get development anymore. Reporting the issue to them is all you can do, really.

Can I run SF5 on my laptop maybe on the lowest setting possible on like 720p @ 60fps ?

i5 haswell(2013)
intel iris 5100(integrated)
8gb
500gb ssd

Based on the benchmarks found here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Iris-Graphics-5100.91977.0.html

It seems unlikely your notebook can run SFV at 720p60 even on lowest settings, though being a PC game there will probably be some way to disable the backgrounds which would surely increase framerate, if that’s something you could tolerate.

All lowest settings, plus bring down scaling to low numbers and you might be able to get it to work ok…it will just look gross

My advice would be to pick it up on Steam, and then refund it if it won’t run. Just don’t go over 2 weeks after you buy it or 2 hours of playtime.

Alienware alpha upgraded 8gm ram? Or do I need to build a new system? I want atleast ps4 graphics

[ranix]

hi,

anyone now what happen if you play on a 21:9 monitor?
do you have to black band on the side?
Wanting to know if I should invest in a 21:9 monitor or not.

Thanks

You need to post specs dude. lol

[voyager]

Now i have Core i3 4130, GTX750TI 2Gb and 8Gb ram.

Settings are:
1080p
render: 80%
all settings on low except textures, they are normal.
and i have 60 fps, but sometimes it’s randomly drops to 57-55, So it’s not really playable.
So i think my bottleneck is cpu? I’m going to change it to Core i5-4460 hope it will give me solid 60 fps.

[voyager]

I did some research and find out that It looks like my gtx 750 ti is the weakest point? What if i change it to gtx 950? Will it be enough?

What’s your budget?
Spend $30 more and get a 960
The gap between 750ti and 950 is not worth the money so you might as well add an extra $30 and get the 960
Buy locally and price match
If it still doesn’t perform to your liking then you can always return it

My budget is just enough to get gtx 950… i can’t add extra money. Man, i bought gtx 750 ti last summer for SFV, i thought it’ll be enough.

[freddie]

You could get something used. There are many cards that you can get that are cheaper used than a new 950, and more powerful. Examples: 7970, 7950, r9 280, r9 285, r9 280x, gtx 680, gtx 670, gtx 770, etc. If you do decide to buy new, it’s better that you wait and save up the extra cash for 960 as 950 is not good value. You could also go AMD and get a 2 GB r9 380 new for like $30 more than a gtx 950.
