Arkham Knight and Legacy of the Void

Arkham Knight is so poorly optimized that the devs recommend 12 GB RAM and a SSD. And your graphic card should have 4 GB of VRAM or more.

SC runs decently with low graphics., I recall playing wol on my laptop like 3 years ago, 2 ghz dual core, 3 on ram and a basic intel graphics card. It was played on 30fps, not great, but it ran.

If you have something better than that, i guess you can enjoy the SP of LTOV.

But well. if you want to upgrade your rig, i could recommend my own setup, which is not that expensive.

Amd fx 8320 3.5 eight core
8 Gb Ram
and i currently have the gforce gts 450. (gift from a friend) but i had the radeon 3850
Recycle your HDDs.
Got a cheap ati MB.

Costed me like 600 a year and a half ago without the hdds and the video card.

As it is now, i can run everything not a single game has crashed (dont have batman though, that game makes everything crash), most heavy games around 75%, but they run fine at 60fps.

What i have played ranges from indies to
Total war 2 Rome
Wolfenstein.
Rocket league
Total War Arena
Tomb Raider
DMC
Borderlands 2 and pre sequel
DBX
Naruto Shippuden etc <--- This one has same stuff in medium and high for some reason. I didnt see a difference.
HOTS and HOTS lol.
Injustice
SSF4 and ultra. (this ones are very well optimized and dont ask too much)
Kof
RE4-4

I dont have all the upcomming new games, but you can play virtually everything that currently is on the market at 60fps if you lower the graphics a bit. I mean, they are not gorgeous looking as intended, but still will look better than any console. I hope you get the idea.

If you are serious about playing Arkham Knight then shurikenZ's advice is close enough.

paying it rite now (BAK) with phenom II x6 stock (but hyper 212+) 16gb ram (and chrome and Vbox runing) with no problems.
VGA is the weakest (oldest?) part of my pc, Sapphire 7850 OC edition which is 2gb vram. You can however play upto normal even on this PoC port and add all the adjectives you want for this shoddy WB+R* job. I'm trying to get 100% everything so I don't have to even install this shh again, unless they actually fix it, very unlikely tho :S

Oh, and I don't installed it in the SSD; I'll leave that to the SO and programs, but I installed Dying Light on it cause that actually matters and put BAK on a mechanical WD blue. Oh, and win10 x64. Playing it with KB+mouse (controls suck btw).

So, you need at least 16 to run pretty much anything. Need above 3ghz 4 cores or better, and some cool hot hardware of your preference (I've noticed how much ppl went with AMD for best bang for the buck) I don't think I'm biased even tho I like AMD. GL bud :)

ps. there's a website that has user uploaded PC's with everything listed and their price, unfortunatelly I dont recall its name now, something like spareparts or spareprice, idk, sorry :P perhaps someone here knows it!

If you want to play with Arkham Knight buy a console....That game wont run smoothly on any pc.

Thing is, PC master race is full with shitty people that want everything flawless.

Yes Arkham Knight is a poor job, but by no means unplayable. People are screaming unplayable at the slightest FPS drop.

I am using Toaster and have beaten the game already.

SSD does help for Arkham Knight, and so is the best graphic card. But you'll do fine with medium settings with average graphic card and mechanical HDD. Stutters here and there, but it's very playable. You can refund it if you're not pleased, though.

For longer terms, of course Legacy is a better choice. Legacy is MP game, Arkham is SP game, there's a basic difference between two. And Blizzard tend to manage things better for their games EXCEPT Diablo 3, which has horrible performance as ever. Again, playable, but I'm not satisfied with it. Being hardcore fanboy, though, I bear with the ongoing problems of Diablo 3.

But I digress, Legacy is fine as it stands, and I'm sure Blizz will continue supporting this franchise with patches as it's a brand new title.
