[Megathread] Mass Effect Andromeda

[pateuvasiliu]

RAM recommendations are usually if someone tries to do more than just have the game open at the same time as it, such as a browser with a couple dozen tabs. I've yet to see any game actually use anywhere near 16GB of RAM.

The most I've seen is Black Desert ( a pile of garbage optimisation wise ) which sometimes goes as high as 4GB of Ram.

No way in hell can this game go anywhere near requiring 16 GB Ram unelss it's a worse port than goddamn Arkham Knight.

I have had GalCiv3 use 12 GB of RAM on an insane map size.

Pretty much the same requirements as Battlefield 1 which I can play on high on a fairly weak system.

Battlefield 1:

The minimum spec:

OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
Processor (AMD): AMD FX-6350
Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
Graphics card (Nvidia): Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
Hard-drive space: 50GB

The recommended spec:

OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later
Processor (AMD): AMD FX 8350 Wraith
Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 4790 or equivalent
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB
Graphics card (Nvidia): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
DirectX: 11.1 Compatible video card or equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
Available Disk Space: 50GB

And I have an i5 6600K
16GB RAM
GTX760 x2 in SLI mode.
Windows 10

Granted I only run it in 1080p though. I think EA/Bioware is basing it on higher resolutions.

And btw, the game has gone gold.

PC Requirements released:

Well... Fuck... I got issues with downloading upgrades to my video card and CPU. Also have only 6.0 GB ram. RIP ME.

[Elim Garak]

Same reason they removed tactics in Inquisition, streamlining and making it easier to play on consoles.

Except they did not.

You could just download more ram on the internet..

You can make some cheap upgrades and play it, ram wouldn't cost ya much for example.

I hope the reqs are copypasted from Battlefield 1, because how the hell else can consoles play it?

[Nikusu]

1060 3GB / 16GB RAM / I7 as recommended?

What the hell.

Sounds like some wonky optimisation.

For a AAA title in 2017? You realize that's recommended, right? Those specs are basically the quintessential, "Gaming computer." It's asking for a good i7 and a 970. The only thing that's a little high is the RAM, but it seems a lot of newer games are starting to ask for 16GB, again recommended. Even if someone's on a budget the minimum requirements are super generous. The 660 is like 4 or 5 years old at this point.

But tactics were in Inquisition? Even if there are console downgrades, visually or gameplay related, people need to get over it. No AAA developer is making a $50+ million game that can only run on PC except Cloud Imperium Games. This coming from someone who is planning on running Andromeda at 1440p/80+ FPS.

I've played the witcher 3 on ultra with mostly 50-ish fps, wonder if my specs can handle andromeda lol

I2500k 3.4ghz (Actually, I think it goes up to 3.9 or 4.1 when i game, not too sure)
GTX 970
8 gigs of ram.

what do you guys think?

Should be good for high+.

Should be good for high+.

Thanks for the reply.

A question though, how is that possible when I barely meet the minimum requirements?

That tells me my pc fails on every aspect lol

First of all, the 2500k is quite a spectacular cpu, and it is similar to the i5 6500, even for its age.

Your video card is similar, if not marginally better than a 1060 6 gb.

8 gigs of ram is what 95% of people have right now so you should be good.

Second of all, if you can run Witcher 3 on ultra at 50ish fps, you can be damn sure it can run any modern game on high fps and high settings.

once again, thanks for the help

Just changed my CPU OC profile to 4.8ghz aswell, so that should help a little one can hope.

My issue isn't with the specs. It's with specs that will result in graphics worse than [insert game that is way better optimised here and looks better]. I doubt this game will have physics on the level of Witcher 3 for instance ( ruffled animal fur, trees swaying in the wind ).

I can play Witcher 3 on High/Ultra and I doubt I'll be able to play this game on the same settings, while I also doubt it'll look better than TW3.

[DesoPL]

Wait. Drack is from Nakmor clan? The same Nakmor, who send thier ambassador to Wrex in ME2? http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Nakmor_Drack

Awesome. :P

[Jinxz]

This game better look insane graphics wise with those recommended specs, if not, holy shit the awful optimization.

[Dezerte]

But tactics were in Inquisition?

Not really, they were simplified and reduced to a few check boxes. Tactics in The first two games had much greater potential and use, it really had that "create your own AI"-feeling which I just loved. And if you added mods which expanded upon the tactics system you could create some of the best AI behavior ever seen in a video game. I was so sad to see it so neutered in Inquisition.

[Lahis]

Is there any Free Trials for BF1 or anything else recent Frostbite stuff? I wanna do a performance check.

[Jastall]

Because that website isn't really accurate. They told me I couldn't even run Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (WTF) yet I could run both at 1080p, medium graphic settings, at about 30-40 FPS. I don't aim for 60 so I'm fine with that. And I'm pretty sure I will be able to run Andromeda, unless it's a complete disaster in terms of optimization.

[rhorle]

I have a i5-3570k 3.40ghz and a 780 evga. I'm sure I'll be able to run the game fine, though likely not on ultra. But I guess its time to plan for a rig upgrade. Thankfully I'll likely only need new mobo, cpu, and gpu. I planned on a new gpu in the next year or two anyways.

I run Witcher 3 on ultra at 1680x1050 and don't notice any issues, so I'm sure its just over stating.

[Lahis]

Well I quess I just have to see how my LGA 1155 socket CPU handles this shit...

Jobless fucker as I am, I can't dish out 500€ for new Mobo and CPU.
