While at it, May I present you, Himmelsdorf in Ultra settings with 1920×1080 stock CPU benchmarks (all credits to Warynsky in wot eu forums.): http://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/focus/cpu2013/def/wot_1920.png

Tell me a console game that has not suffered in one way or other when ported to PCs… At least most of ported game are not like Dark Souls 1, remember that disaster? One guy spent hes free time to mod the DS1 to be playable on PC and even gave it improved graphics, he is a hero in my book and should have been HIRED by DS dev team.

I agree, if you enjoy PC games, you should upgrade your hardware. My friend just upgraded his for around 1000€ and he got like new motherboard, Intel i7 4770k and gtx 760 and corsair H105 and also new computer case, but every part he ordered was brand new and spanking. If you manage to find used parts that are in OK condition, and you honestly do not need higher than intel i5 atm.

I am also planning upgrade on my hardware this month and going to sell my Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard and AMD FX-8150 cpu and going to get Intel i7 4770k also and a MB that fits i7 (Haswell socket). I am not expecting to get more than half from the CPU and MB than what I payed for them.

Benchmark this with AMD FX-8XXX processor and remember to get some tissues before you start, you’re going to cry a lot. Intel relatively well in this game but AMD… not so much.

I am here, for you.
1. Top shelf Radeons are more expensive and less efficient than Nvidia (fact)
2. Majority of game companies prefer cooperation with Nvidia (my observation)
3. Google “nvidia market share”. Currently AMD market share is falling down while Nvidia is steadily raising. Intel is leading (tons of integrated GPUs in laptops or cheap desktops), AMD behind it (very good cards for non-advanced users) and then theres Nvidia. If i remember good AMD lost 10% market share to Nvidia and their brilliant 700 series.

Yes they are crap. I run it on medium on a BELOW the requirements machine :D :D
STILL looks bad though :( . Well not bad… not good enough.

What CPU and at what speed? as has been widly noted in the comments, the CPU and read/write capability of your storage are a lot more important than your GPU.

same with the underlying changes made between generations. especially with the intel chips. There’s a ton being changed down there, and part of that is why they need new chipsets every other generation. AMD has been working on the same thing for several years, they’ve just been packing it tighter and tighter while being as efficient as possible. that’s why they still have the same chipset as 5 years ago.

I’m pretty sure the system requirements are a lie considering they can be run on the consoles. those things are utter crap, I mean they came out in 2012, they just didn’t go on sale until this year.

My understanding of the shit efficiency of watchdogs is because it was built up to work with consoles then ported poorly to PCs.
