Does Dragon Age Origins requires a monster rig to run it?

I really want the PC version instead of the console version but not sure if the game will run well on my hardware. I checked out the min and recommended spec but those are never really accurate....

What PC are you running this game?

My spec? Can it handle the game?

Core 2 Duo E8400 @3.2Ghz
4GB DDRR800
nvidia 8800GT 512MB
Windows 7 64bit
Native monitor res: 1680x1050

Thanks for the help.

Your processor looks fine, however that GPU might be a bit sluggish, although you could probably play it on medium, maybe high with good frames.

I'm running it nearly maxed at 1650x1080 with an 8800GS and Core2Duo 2.53Ghz + 3GB of ram. You should be able to max at 1650.

God I love the 8800 series.

The game is fairly demanding CPU-wise, but it's not terribly taxing on the GPU from what I've seen

I've run the game on two different machines, and if I had to guess: you could probably max it out with that machine, though you might have to do with ~2xAA.

Yeah I run the game maxxed out on my 9800gt, 4gig ram. Brilliant game.

I run the game on all medium settings with 2x AA, on my laptop with a Nvidia Geforce 9400m. So you should be able to max it out.

No idea how much of the CPU it uses, I didn't check, but believe it or not the 8800GT is more than enough for the game, on my PC (Q6600, 4gigs of RAM and 8800GT) I get 60 frames at 1680x1050, maxed out, 8xAA.DanielDust

LCDSirReal reports 30% CPU usage across 4 threads, minimum, at all times. Gets up in to the 45% range, but I don't recall ever seeing it higher. This is on an i7 920@3.4GHz..so yeah, pretty CPU intensive.

I've heard of people with dual cores reporting 90-100% CPU usage.

Negative. Your configuration shall do ;)

iv got an AMD X2 6400+ black, 2 7800GT in SLi 3GB of ram, basically a pile of poop by todays standards. my resolution is 1680x1050 and it runs solidly at about 20fps so you should run it fine.

Considering i run the game on medium with a single core, 1.5g ram, and a 7600 512MB on medium at 1024x768, i think you should be fine...

I think they kinda overdid those system recommendations. I'm playing on E2200 @2.7Ghz, 2Gb Ram and 4850 512mb. Runs smooth as butter at 1650x1050 on highest settings. Though I'm on XP, dunno how it likes Win7.

E6850 core2 Duo

4GB PC8500 RAM

8800GTX

1920x1080 resolution, all settings maximum, runs perfectly fine. Probably around 30 FPS or higher.

How about my

• AMD Phenom II X3 720 @ 2.81 GHz.
• 2 GB DDR2 RAM
• Sapphire ATI Radeon 4770 512MB GDDR5
• WXP

?

will my rig run it on high?

Can anyone compare the performance with Mass Effect? Is it similar? My computer runs ME quite well at medium detail and I wonder if I could run this DA:O.pilouuuu2004

[QUOTE="pilouuuu2004"][QUOTE="dakan45"] Yiaks, i could max out mass effect with my old 8600 gt and 2.6ghz dual core cpu and 2gb ram Now i got a 3.2ghz quad core cpu and 9800gtx+ plus 4gb ram, I can max dragon age but i did notice a bit of a slowdown. I would say if you can run on medium mass effect then you can run DA on low and might as well add alot of lag into consideration...DanielDust

lol my PC is ancient! AMD 64 3000 +, 1.5 Gb RAM, GeForce 6600 GT. Funnily enough I can run ME with good looks and performance on medium, but I don't want to spoil the experience with a substandard quality for Dragon Age. I will sadly have to wait 'til I build a new rig. Good. Thanks for the reply! Maybe I should wait until I buy another rig, so I can fully enjoy it.

Yeah, the CPU is a pretty big problem for DA:O :(. The rest is good for at least low, but the CPU :(...

i run the game maxed out in 1920x1200 with the specs in my sig.

I'm running it on a E2150 1.6 Ghz Dual Core, 2.5GB RAM and a HD4850. Everything maxed including vysnc and x8 AA and I still get 30-40 fps even at the most intense of fights. You should be just fine.
