Games Vs Their Own "Recommended System Requirements"

Personally I wouldn't take any of the reccomended specs serious up until they mention what soundcard you need. I wanna listen to my beeps and boops in the best quality.

[@skaterdudeprodutions]

DangerIncFilms once your save game gets over 10mb, it basically dies. My old save file is like 11 and it literally runs at about one frame every five seconds. They really fucked up the optimization for that game. You don't need a great PC to run it though, you should try it on steam.

[@tissue869]

OK but notice that requirements never mention resolution.. Maybe we're supposed to play with 60 fps very high 640x480? Who knows..

[@eila2088]

Cooper There were normal resolutions when those games came out though. Far cry 3/overwatch have 1080p while Saints Row 2, GTA IV were dealing with 1280 x 1024, 1440 x 900 and 1680 x 1050 (1920 x 1200 if you were running very high end). 640 x 480 would be vga/svga era from mid to late 90s. Was actually big step up from 320 x 240 256 colour especially if you were doing 480p at "true colour".

[@thiagovidal6137]

Steam now offers a new line on both Requirements and recommended in which the developer enter the resolution and frame rate expected. I saw on FF XV.. requirement is for 720p@30fps.. Recommended is for 1080p@60fps. So if you are going for 1440p or 2160p you need to be well above recommended and have to find out at your own.

TehPlayer14 if you are not going to overclock the fx 8100 you are going to have 2-3 fps more than with your 6100,but if you buy fx 8 core and overclock it close to 4.5 or above you will gain a pretty good boost

[@Khanemis]

This was a cool little concept. I would like to see some more game tests with recommended (or even minimal) system requirements. Personally I never had much issues with running GTA IV acceptably even on lower systems. However it is complete opposite with Saint's Row 2 who never run well on anything I tried.

[@ryshed4365]

This is exactly why I pirate before I buy it. I'm not going to purchase a broken product and I have every right to ensure that I receive a working product. If the game is riddled with bugs or un-optimised, I will find it out before I give anyone a penny. IF it works fine and its enjoyable in the way it's supposed to then I'll purchase it. Since developers have this attitude that once you've paid for something they can abandon it and take your money. Don't think so and until they respect consumer rights they ain't going to be able to do shit about piracy

[@Venylynn]

Most devs aren't the type to abandon a game after launch btw, and most games come out working fine. You can just buy and refund if it doesn't work to your standards...and I hope your standards aren't "I have to max out every game and get locked 60fps on my $200 GPU" because that's utter ridiculousness.

[@kommentator1157]

deathbat6916 yeah you can refund. But I usually don't buy games on the platform but from other sellers. It's mostly cheaper.

[@matheuspaiva4200]

A random person Or you could buy them and get a refund (assuming you use steam)

[@Venylynn]

Kommentator true that. I'd rather buy and refund if it doesn't work...which, frankly, I rarely have to refund because most games work on the spot.

[@dimitris.4484]

Some devs puts a program line that creates a bug or makes you some shit on game if you crack it.How do you know it works well.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Brilliant tests, cheers. GTA IV is so bonkers that I no doubt, even 'till this day, even Rockstar Games themselves can't run it at a minimum 60FPS 😆😂😝 That game is a right gem though. I love it, and always will. The depths of the characters and story are incredible, and the driving is so engaging to me that I'd often just completely enjoy driving around on it in various vehicles 🥰😊

[@PaulSman123]

I have always considered the "recommended" specs to allow you to play the game the same way you would be able to on the consoles that also ran the game.

[@andy-gt2kc]

lol dont you mean minimum requirements?

[@DeadAimKillah]

nah, minimum requirements ranged from 640x480 20 fps low to 1920x1080 60 fps low to medium, recommended were at least in a ball park. I feel as if the devs took their most powerful rig set, it the lowest settings, lock the frame rate and just guessed what is equivalent by looking at CPU and GPU usage numbers.

[@combatantezoteric2965]

Hmm.. I allways thought recommended settings means 60 fps / Ultra

[@singed420snowinit9]

Gabriel Perianu Nope, recommended just means what they recommend you would need to have a good experience. It can mean 60fps high settings, it can mean 60fps medium settings, it's basically whatever the developer feels is right for a good experience.

[@eila2088]

Gabriel Perianu Ultra is luxury that is really wasteful visual upgrade to fps ratio. You can also go insane on AA and resolution and break any setup.

Minimum requirements: Holy sht it runs Recommended requirements: It runs, not great, but it runs

[@nyancat4992]

Personally, I think minimum requirements should be what it takes to run a game at a solid 30 fps at low, whereas recommended would be how much it should take to run a game at a solid 60 fps.

[@SuperJackman117]

Exactly, minimum should be like regular 30fps on low settings 1080p since majority of screens use 1080p these days. And recommended should be like solid 60fps on highest or high setting at 1080p as well since that's still likely the most common monitor resolution on both low and higher budget builds.

[@SethanderWald]

15-20 fps is fine for me in strategy games like Civ, and AoW. but yeah, for more fast paced games, the more frames, the better.

[@adrianrylski8794]

30fps is not enough for racing games. You just cant say what games need what framerates. It depends on person. If they want to play they wont mind 30 fps in any game. And racing game are fast paced game so 60 is more likely to be fps youre aiming for

[@Unisylvekitty]

I sont mind 30 fps for shooters because i rarely play multiplayer

[@eila2088]

Unless you need a standard frame time (ie. Fighting game), the higher the better for anything (barring glitches or screen tearing). What's "playable" though is really really vague and up to person.

In most cases its worth looking for benchmarks on youtube with your system or atleast something very close to your system to see a ballpark figure of what you''ll be getting. Even if it runs bad there's refunds nowadays on origin and steam so nothing to worry about if you have a poor immediate experience.

[@katytis2012]

Indeed. For example, I habe a GTX 970 OC Turbo by Asus, and my CPU is quad-core i5 4570 (still going strong to this day,if it ain't broken-dont fix it). And, for example, you want to know how well your PC can handle, lets say, The Evil Within 2. Right. You open up youtube, and you type in "The Evil Within 2 gtx 970 oc i5 4570". You press enter. What comes up? Well, you gotta look what might probably/possibly/unfortunately look like the closest combination to your CPU and GPU. In my case, this seems like the closest one : kzbin.info/www/bejne/p52QkIyYgt6fp5Y And believe it or not, but yes, the performance is pretty similar as depicted in it (of course, I went an extra mile and i've applied .exe priority and active power profile tweaks on Bitsum Process Lasso, turned on my custom, perfect GPU overclock profile on my Asus GPU tweak application, launched the game thru Razer Cortex, I have crap-services disabled), and yea, my framerate varies from 60-70 FPS, sometimes drops down to 55-60 something. Whatever, the game runs great on max-ish graphics, nothing to worry about. Simple as that :)

This was a really cool video keep up the good work 😊

anyone else cringe when they saw the cards sitting on each other in a box without soft foam?

[@FeuchteGurke]

Nope. :D

[@graiionnk.8261]

Haha! I always run under recommended system requirements with a 16GB of RAM DDR3 Probook. :') Thanks for all your cool videos!

[@Iorvethfox]

The system requirements would be accurate if they optimised their god damn fuckng games.

[@flowergreeeeed]

That why you DA MAN my man... You make videos about things people really are interested it.

[@normund8348]

hears 30fps, *clicks off vid*

[@JDpewpew]

Developers should be legally required to adjust spec requirements whenever they release an update to the game. I've actually been thinking about this for a while now, glad to see a video that supports the thought as well. It almost always seems like the spec requirements stay the same from launch, even after 5 years of content and graphical updates to all games. 5 years after release, the minimum definitely changes for a lot of games anyway

I got this recommended a day after launch of shitty red dead redemption 2 pc port lol. 😂😂😂😂

GTA 4 is the worst optimized game ever.

[@SwissMarksman]

GTA 4 is really cancer

[@Wilson84KS]

The only game I get motion sickness from, I think because of the movements are some kind of blurry or something.

[@saveroom911]

I disagree, gta IV is OK. I bought in the Steam Berserk and the Band of the Hawk and oh, what the... PS2 level graphics, textures like in the 2003 game, the environment on the same level, everything lags, FPS sags, the gameplay is degeratous ugliness. For 60 dollars) Enjoy! I made a refund 😅. And yes, I like berserk, but even for a fan, it's a piece of shit!

[@bill_clinton697]

GTA IV is not the worst optimized game. It runs fine on my i7-7700k and RX 480. Saints Row 2 is the worst optimized port.

[@Grandmastergav86]

I love the recent Digital Foundry vid, where they try out Destiny 2 on integrated graphics. Finally splurged on a powerful custom gaming rig this year but I really enjoy this type of video.

[@Unisylvekitty]

Max settings with around 200 mods..that put the game at 4k ans still get 200 fps

[@Erenzilable]

uwot? F4 port is quite good, i got constant 30fps on surface and 20-30 in vaults and interiors on my laptop (630m which is a rebranded 540m, 6 gigs of ram and i7 3610qm). if that is a bad port then i don't know what is a good port

Making this video must have been such an effort, kudos my guy.

[@TheBluetwo26]

I like it: No over the top intro No intro video screen No high pitched squealy voice No stupid adverts No overbearing personal life info It’s about exactly what the title of the video says it’s about. Just meat and potatoes no fucking carrots and bread sticks. Best of all no outro either, promoting himself, others, or begging for support. It’s a video clean and simple.

often my specs were way lower than the mimimum requirements , yet i could play them on low to medium totally fine

[@kristiyanivanov5055]

I think the purpose of these recommended specifications is for you to get the original intended experience on the game that you would see on a console. That is why like you said the results differ from game to game such as on a game like Overwatch which was intended to run at 60fps and a game like gta 5 or far cry 3 which both run at 30fps on console are differing from each other. I don't think optimisation has a lot to do. I mean it does in general, of course, but the hardware on the recommended specifications list is what the developers have tested to receive the intended performance and graphical settings as you would see on a console running the game which is the intended recommended experience. So if you cover the recommended specs for let's say Fifa then you should expect around 60+fps like we see in Overwatch here which was intended for this framerate, but if you cover for gta then expect an overall 30fps epxerience as that game was intended for such a framerate target on consoles, however on consoles they do lock the framerate for a consistent experience so on PC you may see around 25-45fps with it being unlocked. All of this of course should be the results of the games running on the pc equivalent graphical settings or close to those of a console.

[@billcat1592]

Its been so long since I was a budget gamer I forgot all about the struggle

[@ExtraSauceOnTheSide]

I've worked at a studio that made some PC games. While I can't say how we determined recommended specs, min specs are usually determined by just taking the low end PC specs from a few years before the game gets released. While I can't speak for all PC ports, since our game was released on XBox 360 and PS3, many older computers with weaker hardware than the minimum specs were able to play the game without any issues. It mostly came down to how much hardware we want to officially support, since it takes too much time and money to ensure every PC configuration worked without issues.

[@michaelparker2449]

Back in my early PC gaming days I saw "Minimum system requirements" as a challenge more than a recommendation as I'd always try playing games my PC was waaaay underpowered for.

[@CukiErti]

Love your "BUH!", man :D

[@Rubble_ZA]

Just want to say, this is possibly the one thing EA does amazingly. In origin it shows you what to use more or less for 720p30 and 1080p60 respectively, and its so great :D
