Crimson Flam3s Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Which configuration would be better for V? I know this game is cpu heavy but that i3 is pretty beast or would it bottleneck the 970 and you would get better settings with the i5/960 combo? ___ edit: the processor is an i3 4370, not 4170.

Dope_0110 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Well, can't really say how the first one would perform but I have 4590/960 with 8 GB or RAM and I have everything on highest settings except for MSAA and it runs constant 60. At first I kept textures on normal since putting them on high went above 2 GB video memory, but thanks to comments of this forum that assured me there would be no problems I disabled the limits, put them on high and no problems or change in framerate whatsoever.

Maxxeine Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 You may be better off with the i5. Having an i3, or any dual-core processor for that matter, is the bare minimum today. I'd go with the i5 + 960 build over the i3 + 970, it just seems like having a quad-core processor is a better deal in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Definitely the second build, the i3 would be a bit of a bottleneck. let your hopes and dreams turn into burning fire!

bensons Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have a 4690k and a 4gb 960 and I run the game with max textures with various other high settings with no msaa 60 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Flam3s Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the replies, and yeah my build has the 960 and 4590, bought yesterday but in some tests I have seen on youtube, people do just fine with an i3 which is why I was thinking using the money on a 970 could be better. The i3 4170 costs $99, i3 4370 is $150 and i5 4590 is $170 for reference. Maybe sticking with the i5 will be better in the long run. Current setup is pretty beast though, can even do 4k/solid 30fps on mix of med/high settings. Edited May 6, 2015 by Crimson Flam3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
