enemy holds the hot point welcome back to harbor unbox for another what does it take to play episode now typically with these episodes we look at optimal hardware configurations for playing a newly released title and that'll give you guys up rating to play the title in question a pretty good idea of what kind of hardware you'll need with call of duty at World War 2 we had a look at the meter over the weekend and we decided that since it is only the beta phase and for those of you unaware the beta opened on September 29th that will be open til October 2nd on Steam but since it is only in that stage and it's not a retail version yet we decided to check out how it plays on high-end hardware that said though I do also have some advice for those of you using lesser Hardware as well so I'll discuss that shortly for now though I'm most worried to admit that I did have a bit of fun playing this over the weekend it's been a long time since I spent much time playing a Call of Duty title but I thought this one was okay now like I said I ended up having quite a bit of fun playing it the reason I'm worried to admit that though is because of the overwhelmingly negative feedback this titles were saved from gamers steam is full of mostly negative reviews at the time of putting this video together was something like 4,000 positive reviews which was overshadowed by some 11,000 negative reviews assuming though that you didn't hate the game when you even plan on getting it when it's released and this is the kind of performance you can expect to find those hoping to game at 1440p on a high refresh rate monitor and don't want to compromise on quality you'll need at least a geforce gtx 1070 or radeon RX vega 56 graphics card though that's probably not that surprising those of you who are rocking higher in GPU such as the ones i just mentioned you will want to cpu supporting 8 threads the core i7 7700 cables around 60% faster than the core i5 7600 k the quad core Core i5 would often dip below 60fps whereas the core i7 never dropped below 100 FPS the rise in CPUs though they also did do very well at least those with 8 threads or more and I'll show that in a moment for now though we're looking at the core i7 77 okay paired with a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at 1440p with the visual quality settings maxed out as you might expect this combo delivered very smooth gameplay though it's well worth knowing that utilization was often seen hovering around 70% that means the core i5 and other quad core CPUs are going to have a rough time in this style especially when paired with a high-end graphics card over the course of the five-minute match this Hardware combo never dipped below 109 fps and averaged 136 fps and of course this is at 1440p using the maximum in-game quality settings out of interest though I thought I might check out how the risin 5 1500 X handles this title under the same conditions after another 5 minute match on the same map the minimum recorded frame rate was 94 fps with an average of 128 fps that's only 6 percent slower than a 77 okay which I thought was mighty impressive for AMD's $190 quad-core for those wanting to maintain over 60 FPS at all times at 1440p you will still require something like a gtx 1070 gtx 980ti or Vega 56 if you're a little less picky and you can live with around a 60 FPS average then the gtx 1060 radeon RX 4 75 74 85 80 all the fury X GPUs will work well for those of you gaming at 1080p anything equal to or faster and say the RX 470 or GTX 1063 gigabyte will deliver over 60 FPS at all times although the game is very demanding you still can get the most out of every range GPU with something like the Verizon 3 1200 though be aware any CPU offering just 4 threads will be maxed out pretty much all the time in this title much like what we see with battlefield 1 so if you're using a GPU with a bit more room an 8 threaded CPU will be required finally it's also worth noting that if you're seeing a lot of stuttering make sure you have 16 gigabytes of system memory installed again this is the same story with battlefield won the game regularly consumed over 8 gigabytes of system memory and often went past 9 gigabytes at 1440p the game also allocated up to 9 gigabytes of vram when available so it's a bit of a memory Pig be aware of that though we were using the ex quality settings well that's gonna do it for this one that's all the testing I've done so far I won't have any time for big benchmark video like what I do with the destiny to beta it's gonna be a pretty busy week as it is so with the game pretty poorly received at this point I don't know how much demand there would have been for a big benchmark video anyway and so though once the game is officially released I will check it out in more detail until then I'm your host Steve see you again next time guys
