Required system specifications for specific titles
A great method to welcome a new member to the forum, though not exactly polished. @OP Systemrequirements.org seems outdated, those days are behind us. The most reliable way to understand a system’s performance is to replicate your setup—check YouTube for a similar game on comparable hardware. Even a strong i7 can outperform a CPU, but it still offers a solid clue about expected results.
The video details indicate he achieves 40 frames per second when not actively recording.
The average speed is around 40fps, but that doesn’t feel smooth. Also, you mentioned maximum/ultra, which is why some people called me BS. By the way, welcome to the forum! Make sure you stick to your topics so you stay updated even when someone doesn’t quote you directly.
I could create a 4K video of Titanfall using a GT 720, and I mentioned I achieved 30 on Ultra. (Sorry for the awkward greeting.)
He isn't running at full or ultra settings. Your current frame rate and resolution aren't specified—just the display settings you're using in-game.
It isn't fully loaded and only reaches 40fps. Most options were turned off or set to low, with a few high settings active. It managed around 40fps while running on ULTRA at 1080p 60fps, but it needed much stronger hardware. This wasn't intended to be a harsh comment; we just manage well. The game should work on your system, though it's far from hitting the highest possible frame rate. The site you mentioned is quite outdated and unreliable, with minimum requirements suggesting 260 or more and recommended at 470. You're close to the suggested settings, so playable is fine. A better setup would be needed to reach maximum performance.
I've been using 1080p in games, my monitor supports 120hz but with this GPU it never hits that speed in new titles anymore. He didn't enable ultra since it's already at its highest setting, so the only exceptions are textures which were also set high. I don't recall my frame rate being around 4GHz, I can confirm the game ran smoothly for me. I play older games like Jedi Academy multiplayer at 120fps on a 120hz monitor, which helps me notice the difference in FPS and confirm it wasn't as low as others say. The main issue here is why websites claim my PC doesn't meet minimum requirements, which Lord Pantaloons addressed somewhat.
I frequently encounter the opposite issue, particularly with Steam. Their suggested configurations often perform worse than my setup, and I still have trouble enjoying the game. I usually experiment with the settings until I achieve a solid mix of frames per second and visual fidelity at my display settings (since I don’t trust interpolation).
As mentioned, Systemrequirementlabs isn't the best tool for verifying game performance. Based on that, I wasn't able to launch BF4; I run it with low/medium settings, 1080p resolution, and stable 70fps. Regarding your hardware, yes—it matches the recommendations for YouTube. However, even at maximum settings, it doesn’t run smoothly. It tends to maintain steady frames with medium or high configurations. In your case, the GPU appears to be the limiting factor. If you want to keep playing newer titles with better graphics, upgrading would be advisable.
