Too much misinformation in a hardware thread, again.

Wait for the official specs. KF2 is not RO2 is not Bioshock is not Lemmings is not insert game X here. Please do not compare games just because they share the same base engine name.

It doesn't mean a lot.

They're a bunch of PC enthusiasts so I'd think they'd all have pretty powerful PC's. Probably not the best for comparing to the min specs. I hope this game is AMAZING!

Theres no way you'll be able to play KF2 comfortably with that computer op. I don't think any amount of lowest settings will even bag you 10 FPS.

If money is an obstacle, then go for an AMD APU build, it can be done for $300 or less.

Spoiler!

Thanks I appreciate the help.

My fine sir; your subtext job title confuses me. Mind elaborating on it some? I'm probably more intrigued than I should be.

Never the less, if you have a decent enough PC you'll be able to play it. It's a pretty fast action shooter with a wide audience. Not a 'shiny' 30 FPS console title. Still I know I'll be able to play it fine on my 2-3 year old PC, that says quite a bit.

Yeah, he's named after a NOT-Kriss Vector and is machete engineering.

Does that mean

Shneidzekk with a machete for a bayonet confirmed in KF2!?!?

well we can always speculate/guess :).

1. you went off topic
2. he had this for years

It's an APU, m8, not the best but it's a CPU designed to have more of its horsepower put into the graphical performance.

Yea I realise that but its really borderline lol. It will run better with an actual GPU though. I recommend the Radeon R7 260X should be more than enough for kf2, u get around 50FPS on 1080P rez on BF4, and its only $120, it'll be a perfect combo for that build :D

The A10-5800k shreds quite a few modern games a new one. Considering the game is going to be made to run on a PS4, a top tier A10 APU will do just fine, since its basically what the PS4 is using. It wont top out the game but in price / perf, its inexpensive and will outperform a PS4. I only went with no dedicated GPU due to money constraints for op. My next recommendation would be a pentium G3258 / AMD athlon x4 8xx paired with a R9 270(x) or GTX 750 ti.

True true absolutely m8! :D

Actually, doesn't say anything because there's nothing to back up the claim.

For all we know any computer that could run the original KF can run KF2 better. Just as well, it's possible only the best rigs could even manage 30 fps on low settings. We don't have any facts or specific requirements yet, so we shouldn't go around assuming that KF2 will run any way without any actual info.

No one said it was gonna be definitely easy to run, we are just saying it's most likely gonna be easyish to run. And I really doubt any computer that could run the original KF1 can run KF2, lol I could run KF1 on my Core 2 Duo laptop with a Mobility Radeon HD 3470, do you know how bad that card is? :p.
We are saying what we are more likely to expect. It's either it will be easy to run or its optimization is absolutely terrible which they should be able to fix within Early Acces.

Well the good news is that the game is confirmed to run 60 FPS 1080p maxed out on the Large Pixel Collider.

So good going for all you quad SLI Titan owners out there, you can max out KF2!

If someone is building a PC right now and don't mind waiting until June it'd probably be wise to wait for the R9 3XX series to drop. No doubt the already stupidly low R9 2XX series will drop even further. At this point it's best to just flat out ignore anything less than an R9 270 for 1080p gaming.

We don't have any facts or specific requirements yet, so we shouldn't go around assuming that KF2 will run any way without any actual info.

There is sound logic to back up the claim, which is more than enough. If my computer cannot run it, then current gen gaming PCs sub $1000 cannot run it either. Which would be silly and TWI would not be able to sell their game because close to nobody would be able to play it. And a big part of the KF playerbase and steam community has low to mid-spec hardware.

And no, any computer that could run KF1 can not run KF2 better due pure to technical limitations in older hardware. And no it's not possible that only the best rigs would manage 30 FPS as we've seen high FPS gameplay running with high graphics in a full game without slowdowns already.

So lets streamline the information available at the time together. Tripwire themselfs said that the reason KF1 was popular was that it ran on just about any machine, and part of the reason for staying with UE3 was the concern for minimum machine specs. There would be no point for TWI to limit their customer base as they've said themselfs, and the game runs fine @60FPS on a lowly PS4. And performance of mid-high-end graphics hardware 3 years ago is good enough to compare well enough to mid-end hardware today. And in regards of CPUs, an intel i7 920 or i7 860 from over 6 years ago can manage just about every PC game out there. If you had a decent rig 2 years ago it will play the game. That's pure logic. I do not want to guess minimum required hardware however, as that's a different story.

Hey I thought i mine as well post my specs. If anyone could give me an idea if They think I could run it would be great. I was able to run RO2 very well. Not at the highest possible settings but it played well on high settings.


Windows 7, 64-bit
Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-3610qm CP @ 2.30Ghz 2.29GHz
16Gb Ram

Really hoping I can play it on my current set up.
