Dragon Age: Inquisition PC Specs

[Bismo Funyuns]

Add another one to the list of titles calling for high VRAM:

Recommended:
OS: Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD six core CPU @ 3.2 GHz, Intel quad core CPU @ 3.0 GHz
System RAM: 8 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 or R9 270, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Graphics Memory: 3 GB---->changed to 2GB
Hard Drive: 26 GB
DirectX 11


Minimum:
OS: Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD quad core CPU @ 2.5 GHz, Intel quad core CPU @ 2.0 GHz
System RAM: 4 GB
Graphics CARD: AMD Radeon HD 4870, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Graphics Memory: 512 MB
Hard Drive: 26 GB
DirectX 10

EDIT: looks like the 3GB VRAM recommended was a mistake: http://forum.bioware.com/topic/5153...quirements-and-hands-on/page-18#entry17480176

512 MB isn't high. Everyone doesn't need to max out graphics. Use settings that make the best use of your gear.

Guess I need to upgrade my CPU poor core 2 Quad Q9650 can't handle the stress anymore.

Seems pretty much the same as BF4 recommended specs except for the VRAM.

I don't recall those specs but it seems about the same; however, BF4 probably has a substantially higher range than DA. I'm glad i'll be able to come close (I think) to maxing this thing out with my GTX 670 4GB card. I think the Witcher will stress my system a LOt more than this. Can't wait for both games!

I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same, except the recommended VRAM is 3GB with BF4. I think they corrected it this time around because all the video cards listed as recommended only come in 2GB flavors.

Haven't played BF4 before - is there less stuttering or any benefit in that game from having high VRAM?

Resolution scaling, more AA... all the usual things that benefit from more VRAM. I have not monitored my VRAM usage in BF4 before, but I have had no performance issues with all Ultra settings, HBAO 100% scaling at 1080p, and 4x MSAA using a GTX 780 with 3GB of VRAM. For some reason I seem to remember seeing 2.2-2.4GB of VRAM usage before...
