Most games and other programs list "minimum requirements" for your PC, but are they really accurate?

my old pc had a i3, 4 gigs of ram, and intergrated graphics and it ran watch dogs 2 just fine just with the worst graphics settings that looks just fine to me, and u know what ? the minimum for that game is a i5, 8 gis of ram, and 2 gb vram graphics card ? seriously ? if that is supposed to be the bare minimum and i play the game just fine in a worse pc, then thats ridicilous
ReplyDeletei have a gtx 970 :)
ReplyDeleteNot accurate
ReplyDeleteim using a 2 year old laptop that can hardly run anything and i bought a $60 game for when or if i get a better PC
ReplyDeleteDOOM 2016.
ReplyDeleteMy mid range 2014 laptop can run that shit.
Minimum specs are almost always pure and utter bullshit in my opinion.
As for doom, ran it at 666*1184 (custom resolution, lol), 60fps after tweaking the settings ini file a bit.
You can cut the minimum specs for that game in half, literally, and you'd be able to play it after sticking your prick in the settings for long enough.
Well, except for the required disk space, but that one's kinda self-explanatory, innit? :3
I've been playing league of legends for the last 3 years with 15 fps and I'm gold
ReplyDeleteI7-2720M 2.30ghz
ReplyDeleteRam 8Gb
Quadro 1000M
Please give me a good game :(
Eyyy I got a main stream core i5 8600k and a sub $200 1050ti and I get 144fps in all my games so yayyyyyy he's not wrong
ReplyDelete0:24 Funny I think that's the card I had to downgrade to when my AMD HD 6850 broke on me.
ReplyDelete2:28 Just like Mighty No. 9 lol
ive been able to play games under the minimum requirements on low 30fps. im still a bit confused how but idk
ReplyDeleteDoes this go for reccomended specs of my capture card?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm lucky to have a computer with an Intel i7 inside (3,50 GHz)
ReplyDeleteAnd this computer was just about 1300 (2013)
what game was that had the minimum spec ryzen 3 1200?
ReplyDeleteThis is why I prefer console gaming, I know when I buy the game, I have everything needed to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI dont reach minimum in systemrequimentslab never. But my games work very well (30 fps for medium settings).
ReplyDeletewhat if my gpu and ram is better than recommended and cpu is worse? Would it be lagging because of low render speeds on open world games?
ReplyDeleteYou console peasants, with your 30fps.
ReplyDeleteJoin PC Master race and ascend to Godhood.
For you are weak and we are mighty.
With my AMD A8-6410,
Radeon r5 graphics,
5400 rpm hdd,
8gb of ram!
With these specs, you can play games at low settings at 4fps!
Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.60ghz
ReplyDelete4gb ram
NVIDIA GT 210 , is it good?
What?!
ReplyDeleteDPF?(dollars per frame)?
60 fps.. buttery smooth.. ok
ReplyDeleteSoo the max fps I ve ever got with my computer was 42 on any game
ReplyDeletei have 19-30 fps.
ReplyDeletewtf u call 25FPS "low"???
ReplyDeletefor me 5fps is super high
Can I get some fog ?
ReplyDeleteK
I love how Linus refused to promote himself by saying there are "independent reviewers" who quality check games for performance when that is literally what his channel is known for doing. Yet at the same time he has no remorse for shamelessly selling out to his sponsors like SquareSpace and Tunnel Bear. if it keeps his channel alive then I'm happy but it does seem kind of hilarious that he's reluctant to promote himself.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only person who can play games at 30fps?
ReplyDeleteI’m just happy I can run gta v on my laptop at low setting
ReplyDeleteI'm so accustomed to running games on my old (and slow) laptop that when I get good frame rates on my current one, I'm like "what is going on with this game? It looks so weired." XD
ReplyDeleteSquarespace, the first object they show is the circle
ReplyDeleteWhos 7 year old computer struggles to boot up? Not mine. Mine still maxes out games at 1080p just fine.
ReplyDeleteITS A QUICKIE!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"Who still uses a Radeon 4870 anyways?" Me.
ReplyDeleteLol I played GTA V at 480p, 15 - 20 fps xD
ReplyDeleteWow, you´re describing my experience with gaming. It´s awesome if your game even tells your, that your PC is too bad.
ReplyDeleteThe shade thrown at Watch Dogs 2.
ReplyDeleteRust at 800x600 minimum 20fps max 30
ReplyDeleteFortnite: 1024x768 minimum settings minimum 30 max 40 fps
TF2 1920x1080 O: MEDIUM SETTINGS... MINIMUM 30 FPS MAX 60 (its like gta v on ur good pc but the game Is 10 years old)
The experience with vr headsets needs to be smooth so as not to make the person using the headset feel sick
ReplyDeleteMy laptop has the recommended requirements but still I get only 20fps, please explain why??
ReplyDeleteI play every game above the minimun requirements.
ReplyDeleteisn't it linus tech tips?!
ReplyDeleteMakes me remember that on time when I tried to play a game with 1/4 of GHz needed for minimum and the game still ran smoothly on highest setting.
ReplyDeleteI alleviate some load on my system by running a 1280x1024 monitor @75hz. I can't tell a difference in terms of sharpness between it and my 1080p monitor, but it's smoother, so I go with it.
ReplyDeletehahahhahahah
ReplyDelete720p 25fps
THAT IS HIGH END M8
I PLAY CSGO WITH 30 FPS 640x480
