The reason why SoM required 6gbs of vram is because that is for Ultra textures for 4k resolution and SoM runs pretty well in 2gb video cards on high settings... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/shadow-of-mordor-performance,3996-3.html And Ubisoft games have always been known to have bad porting when it comes to PC games, specially Unity. And for Far Cry 4, there is a fix in order to run ur games on a Dual Core CPU and it runs fine. And there are just so many other things wrong with this article like how they are using Alienware of all things to show PC gaming costs but every PC gamer knows that Alienware over prices everything Not to say that the requirements havn't gone up but hes making it sound wayy worse than it really is |
Tomshardware used a 200 bucks corei5 @4.6ghz with 8 gigs of ram for shadow of mordor who requires at least an i5. You have to take the whole picture into considuration thats where the author is ultimaticly right.
And yes alienware is overpriced but it doesnt change the fact that they try to compete with next gen consoles and are marketing as such, same way with all these low budget builds by various articles and videos saying they can build the same future proof rig like a next gen console for the same money. I think its lying to costumers and people unintenial or not,
If you want a future proof rig that can handle console ports in the future you will need at least a quadcore with hyperthreading or better yet an 6 or 8 core and 8 gigs of ram as well a decent graphicscards with 2 gigs of ram. And by doing that you will spent more, somthing these people and alienware want to overshadow.
