Warhammer: Total War confirmed, boom!

[Kirsten]

yeah I saw that yesterday, looking good. my new machine will handle top spec I think.

[Psychosplodge]

I've got 3570k with a faster clockspeed, and a pair of 970s so I'd expect to probably get a solid 60 somewhere between high and ultra. It'll probably be a case of playing with it and not using the defaults. Plus depends on if there's any SLI support.

[Kirsten]

yeah

[Psychosplodge]

What's your new spec?

[Kirsten]

GTX 970, 8gb DDR4, i5 6600 (latest skylake)

[Psychosplodge]

Nice.

[Kirsten]

Yeah, will up the ram at some point, and I can put a high end 6th gen processor in eventually too

[Aegwymourn]

I've been super pleased with my new rig. Although I skimped on the video card.

i7-4790k, 16gb ram, single gtx 960.

So far has handled everything on ultra that I've thrown at it (Fallout 4 mostly, but Witcher 3 and DA:I a bit as well)

[Psychosplodge]

I get occasional random slowdown on fallout 4, but I think it's more to do with windows in the background (like downloading the updates and such like) than the actual game.

my PC was four years old and didn't run anything on top spec when it was new. so I am expecting to see a bit of an improvement with the new one. still trying to actually get games downloaded so I can see though. XCOM 2 was downloading all evening on Wednesday and was virtually finished when I switched off and went to bed. Thursday evening when I got home, all gone, back to zero. so I turned my computer on this morning before work and set steam running downloading four games, hopefully they will be done when I get home.
