Can you REALLY game with the Minimum Specs??

2017-10-26
what's up guys Jase $0.02 here and you know what destiny 2 has just launched and yeah so that's a pretty anticipated game I think I've never actually played it I know it was a console like was I called exclusive that's it right and exclusive it was only on like ps4 and Xbox one but destiny 2 is out for PC and technically at lunch yesterday and I had a pretty interesting idea something I've never done before we've done budget builds right but has anyone ever actually done a build for a new game and built it specifically to the minimum specs to see how well it actually performs no probably but I'm gonna do that today anyway fans of the original half series cases from Coolermaster can rejoice because the half is back and better than ever featuring 200 millimeter RGB front fans tempered glass side panel and ample airflow the H 500 P is a worthy successor to the original high airflow series learn more about the new cooler master H 500 P by heading to Coolermaster comm recommended specs are quite spread out and the reason for that I think is I think they're trying to account for the users on ddr4 and ddr3 which i think is very strange like a minimum as a minimum right if it can run on the older platform on ddr3 that should be the minimum but they're calling minimum specs on this a 3.5 gigahertz I 330 250 or a 3.5 gigahertz Pentium G 4562 very different CPUs which i think is very strange one on ddr3 one on ddr4 right because the Pentium is new and the 3250 is an Ivy Bridge era CPU now after running AMD they recommend an FX 4350 now it would have loved to have done that route the FX 4350 but I don't have one I have a 6100 but that's a 6 core not a 4 core but it's an older architecture at bulldozer it was specifically bulldozers when it first launched versus like the excavator and piledriver stuff so don't I don't know if it'd be fair if I did the 6100 to be honest so I'm trying to go specifically on what the minimums are here GPU why is it recommends either a 662 gigabyte or a 1050 2 gigabyte or if you're on AMD a 7850 I don't have a 780 50 I used to but not anymore so I'll probably be going with a six sixty and six gigabytes of system ram again I don't have two gigabyte sticks of RAM for ddr4 so I'll be running aids but I think most people when I did my video about what's more recommended 8 4 or 16 most of you guys were like 16 bare minimum so I don't think people are gonna give me a hard time about the eight gigs I'm trying hard to build this specifically to the spec sheet but it's not easy again they're recommended they're recommending in three point four gigahertz I 5 2400 Sandy Bridge era or 3.5 gigahertz I 5 7400 that's such a wide range I mean that's those two CPUs perform very differently so I feel like I feel like their own like Activision this just seems to be all over the place on what their minimum and requirements are I mean there's such a spectrum here if you're an AMD they recommend an r5 1600 X so I think when we do the second part of this video where we actually showed that recommended I think we'll go with the r5 1600 because that's more middle ground that's not that huge range on the GPU side they recommend a 4 gigabyte GTX 970 clearly they typo'd they met 4.5 kg or 3.5 gigabytes or a 6k goodbye 1060 now I have 9 7 I think I'm a 970 still if I do we'll run that if you're on AMD r9 390 or 8 gigabytes of RAM so I knew these budget builds would come in handy right so we've still got this cyst you guys remember this where we were kind of doing the budget build shootout where we had Austin come and kind of do a blind taste test right so we're gonna go ahead we're running the h2 70 or z2 70 here which is a bit weird for a Pentium but that's what I'm using because at least we can overclock it if we want to but if I just drop in the CPU it makes no difference really - what motherboard we're running for the most part so our CPUs in there we're running our 8 gigabytes of corsair ddr4 LPF so it's low profile memory and we need to install the Box cooler a 90 thermal basis it's kind of nice working with these tiny little CPUs again because you can literally do the grain of rice method for the thermal paste because when you do a thread dripper and the new Intel's man do you go through a lot of thermal paces I'm telling you ok GPU we need a 660 ha I just happen to have one of those right here this is one of the first GPU layer did anything with on this channel okay so this is ready to go we just need our download to finish we've been this has been downloading forever because I'm pretty sure that like this servers are being hit hard right now with terms in terms of downloading actually you know we can do is we can prep the recommended system while we're waiting can't we I'm so glad we kept these systems together to be honest with you this is our recommended system this has a 1200 in it right now that remember I did the AMD 1200 test I think AMD wins the Box cooler competition to they're just better coolers we need to make an anime Neum cop an ant iminium cooler what do you think no and the medium the metal and ammonium is that with the Wolverine you know adamantium whatever Oh everyone calls me such a fanboy and is like where's all your AMD stuff wow you have all this Intel well I have more rise in CPUs as I do Intel Rison v 1600 X right there yeah baby that's what we're gonna watch it's Hollow okay 1600 in here for 1600 X actually which is the one that was worth what we recommended I'd actually thought about tearing their systems apart like last week well last we're gonna need downtime with a week before that I'm glad we didn't this is why I don't get rid of old hardware very often because stuff like this comes in very handy we can go back and revisit a topic like this or visit a new topic like this with old hardware where the edges clip no more like I always accidentally bumps like cancel we start all over that would suck pick her up affair with all that ketchup and mustard at a ballgame yeah a sports ball just to recap here we've got a pentium g 45 60 run with 8 gigabytes of ram note it said 6 was the minimum but run an 8 with a gtx 660 you aggramar running an SSD Markum applying any overclocking to this the motherboard although overclockable i don't think someone running this level of hardware would be running an h2 70 with overclocking so there's that maybe I'll play a little bit I don't know we'll see vs. the recommended here which is an AMD risin 5 1600 X 8 gigabytes of ballistics RAM running a GTX 970 again they called it before gig we know it's a three and a half gig 500 watt power supply and the very same SSD both running box coolers so I think this is a pretty close representation of to what the average gamer might be running so as a take this thing a second to turn on because it now has to reinitialize for that hard drive but you guys are seeing first hand though I get this question all the time like Jake can you take a hard drive with one Windows 10 installation and looks like move it to another computer with all different hardware and you'll see people will be like no it's locked to the motherboard it won't work that's true for OEMs and things like HP and dowels and stuff like that but see when you plug in a hard drive into a new system windows automatically detects all the new drivers and chipsets and stuff that it's it's sensing and then it's reinstalling all of the base drivers it needs to move forward all you've got to do at this point is basically just install all the new drivers for your motherboard like your chipset drivers and land and all that stuff just for good measure although it will work and you're up and running alright so video vsync is on let's turn that off cuz I'm 8 144 Hertz panel so I'm gonna turn that off though field of view screen bound adjust brightness and bring that down just a tad make it easier for you guys to see graphics quality overalls on custom and put anti-aliasing FXAA it's an HD IO 2 X section quality low medium low and then the rest is pretty much medium motion blur off wind impulse what is that do you know that is no render resolution and film grain is on I'm gonna turn film grain off there so you can see up in the left-hand corner right now this is the recommended settings now that was the settings that loaded with the only changes I'm able to turn off motion blur and it turned off film grain you can see we're getting about 48 54 51 it's not terrible though I mean it's it's fairly consistent then remember we are playing with the minimum specs here oh is that bad I killed the thingy boom I'm fairly impressed with the FPS so far though OC is melee oh that was an accident do that it said push seat for melee member turned the corner I did it and then it hit that guy they probably set that up like that on purpose but still going for single shot accuracy here for minimum specs here and given the hardware were running on I'm impressed so far I'm gonna be honest I am quite impressed I I don't know how demanding this game as versus others but you know what though if this is a game that's fun to play right it's got multiplayer doesn't it yeah I have to assume that this is a good thing if they optimized the game well enough to where more people can play it that's a good thing I guys a shield nothing's more depressing than you know having to run out that was a good throw having to run out and throw our money at a system just to play a game so you buy a $50 game or $60 game then you spend $500 to upgrade something in your system that's not you know that's not good or conducive to anyone's budget alright so that was the minimum requirements now what about when we step it up to the recommended I like ramp that big time this is noticeably noisier though than the other system to be honest ok so we have the exact same settings here and we'll see how far we can push it with the recommended but as you can see the exact same settings as before but if we return to the game look at our FPS more than double right 128 FPS Wow look how smooth this is this is cool I mean I love games where more people can enjoy them and be a little bit less worried about their hardware because I mean 160 FPS are there you can see how smooth this is can't you like I know the camera can't because we're recording at 30fps but like with your eye what do you see Nick ridiculously smooth like butter I bumped that button which made it look like a totally pro throw didn't it yeah that was a I bumped it I went to straight and I bumped to Q and it threw the grenade at me it's that very same battle we did before we were hitting like 50 60 114 so those critical hit points then right you can hit their head yeah they're easier if you hit their body so I'm in fire it's like Warcraft always getting them things yeah later loads fps yeah that's good alright so I guess the question now asks how far can we push it right I wouldn't have pushed the other config because we were already were below the magic 60fps which gamers like to stick at right so we wouldn't push that any farther but what if we take our texture now what if we did this what if we brought environment all this stuff up to like high can we do that there we go oh wait get sweet with everything set to highest we came down to the 90s Oh No 75 89 but you know what though visually I'm not seeing that much of a difference are you I don't think this was go that way yeah this is such a pretty game rained of Lorraine yeah oh that's they're shooting at us so rude or rather landing their jump troopers so anyway there you go guys destiny - yeah minimum and recommended settings as you can see you don't need a high end PC to run some of the more modern games as long as the developers do a good job at actually you know optimizing for it I mean obviously this came out on console first and to me it seems like if this is a port it's a pretty good job I mean the FPS looks good it doesn't feel like a console port it feels to me it kind of feels like doom or something like that that was made for PC and yeah I'm excited to play this game I think don't tell Brian though he's been trying to get me to play it I don't I didn't want to get into it but I might have to actually play through the story now so anyway guys there you go minimum versus recommended if there any other games you think we should do this with if so put titles of those games down in the description below and I think Nick and I agree that when new games launch like this now we're gonna start doing this we're gonna start doing min and recommended instead of just benchmarking the highest end GPUs which you know is gonna chug through any game with no problem we'll start letting everyone know exactly where you need to be to start playing your favorite triple-a titles thanks for watching guys and as always I'll see you in the next one all right back to this game
