Star Wars Battlefront Specs Announced
- Thread starter Kezen
- Start date
The most common configurations is 8 or 16 though. It remains to be seen whether or not the game actually benefits from more than 8gb of system memory.
I don't remember seeing 12GBs since the ancient x58 chipsets lol.
CPU requirements have been bullshit for quite a while now. I have an i7 870, and it is below minimum specs for quite a few games (the witcher 3, assasssins creed unity), but those games still run just fine on high settings. CPU requirements are ridiculously overblown.
If you don't care about dual channel, 8 + 4GB works perfectly fine.
Wait what......Windows 10 is recommended!!!???
Why on earth is that the case?
Development for PC is soo lazy and optimisation non exsistant.....16GB of RAM get the fuck outahere!!!, if they even tried im betting they could get it running fine with half that!!, but then why would they bother we're all slaves to the upgrade

Why wouldn't we care about dual-channel D:

pretty much nail the recommended specs except the CPU. it's a locked skylake i5 but i have an i5-4590. will I be fine even if I had 16GB RAM and a 290 with Windows 10?
Frostbite scales very well across multiple cores and one of the few engines that takes good advantage of Hyperthreading on i7's. In BF4 on large player count maps you see the benefit there much more than singleplayer games so can see it being similar with Battlefront. Framerate and map loading times are slightly better for me on an i7 over an i5 but not by a huge margin but it's nice to see the extra grunt put to work.

That's just how it is with large scale multiplayer games.
Not sure why everyone is freaking out over RAM. I bought a 32GB kit of generic DDR3 several years ago and it didn't cost much more than $100.
Probably.

Interesting "recommended" specs. I should be able to play the game just fine on high to max settings.

My SLI 970 FTW's await. Hopefully I can maintain 60fps at that resolution.
Though most of my playtime will be on PS4, since that's where my friends are.

Well the textures in game are produced by photogrammery which allows for ultra high resolution real images.
Frostbite games are developed on double Xeon E5-2670s for a total of 16 cores (also 64GB of RAM). I wouldn't bother trying to match that.
But but.... they tested game performance with Shogun 2 :S

Wow, is there already a game that ask 16gb ram?
Now I'm really scared on how the game will perform on console.

There was a stream yesterday on Twitch where they showed the game running on a PS4 at 60 fps and it looked fine.
It was "downscaled" to 30 fps for the stream though.

Any news for the Xbox One version for the resolution?
Likely 720p like BF4/Hardline.

Recommended card is the card I own.
You have got to be fucking joking.
AMD 290 maxes out everything
Well, Nvidia didn't have their hands on it. /s

With the new devkit I expect a bit more than 720p to be honest, let's hope for more.
At 30fps perhaps, not at 60.
We don't know what they mean by recommended so we can't draw any conclusion about optimization.
Better SDK but higher visual targets compared to Hardline, that counts.
Maybe it was not a very demanding map then, or "max" settings have a higher ceiling.

going by that DF video, aa is still terrible. z fighting, polygon seaming/clipping and warping still everywhere. shader aliasing abound. well done dice.
I'd imagine it's related to higher resolutions.
Everyone in the alpha thread reported good performance on a range of machines.

Huh...well with my 660TI I think if I even do get this game this year it will be PS4. No plans to upgrade at all anytime soon.

It's marketing, nothing more.
As for 16 GB or RAM. There's absolutely no way the game will use that much RAM.
More like developer's incompetence in what they are doing - which is pretty common nowdays.

I like, almost exactly meet the rec specs. I'm hoping I don't get too many issues running this at 1080p.
Same thing happened to me. Fuck em
Same thing happened to me. Fuck em
What's wrong with that ?
I thought spending that amount of money would be enough for 2-3 years of gaming in 1080P 60 Fps, the future looks expensive

16GB is not that much ram. Not sure why people are surprised. I personally moved away from 8 when certain games would give me that low memory error when I had a small or no swap file whenever I had a web browser with a lot of tabs and other various things open running alongside the game. Even gaming laptops that carry a 9X0m GPU which doesn't even quite match the recommended specs come with 16GB.
But we don't know what settings those req target. Besides, I hope you were not deluded enough to believe you are entitled to "max" settings for X number of years with on fix specs. "Max" settings by their very nature ask for more and more on a yearly basis.
That does not mean you won't get a 1080p/60fps experience, but probably not at max settings. And this is a very good thing that games dare to scale beyond a 970/290.

Both specs are probably for ~60fps.. just with different cvars (medium vs extra high).
Also, the people fixating on RAM numbers. These are specs... they are not set in stone.
Just not at max settings. 60fps is pretty much always a guarantee for graphics scaling as long as there is no secondary bottleneck (CPU).
I expect 120fps @ 1080p.
Of course it will be enough. Just dont consider max setting to be always applicable.
