What settings will i be able to run Rome 2 better on?

Cusack · Sep 23, 2013

AMD FX-6350 Six Core CPU 4.2 GHz
8GB RAM
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650Ti BOOST
or

Core i5-4570 3.2GHz
Radeon 7770
8GB RAM

Cheers!

the core i5 will run rome better... but know, not even people on 2k i7 builds can max rome out with titans and high overclocks. it's a really badly optimized game with heavy single core reliance. in order to play it the "best" you can you need to overclock an i5... as it's very cpu and single core dependent.

So the GFX aren't that much of a big deal compared to the CPU? Also can you let me know what settings this would run Rome on? Also, will the optimization be fixed?

yeah.. there is a point of diminishing returns on rome. Where gpus don't seem to matter anymore and it becomes a 100% cpu bottleneck. as for optimization issues... no i doubt they'll fix it.

somewhere around a 660gtx and a HD 7870 the power of your gpu stops mattering for rome2... at that point it all comes down to how much power your cpu has under the hood in single threaded applications. for that there really is no other option but to go with an intel.

if you're willing to play it on medium settings you can play it just fine with either of those builds (the i5 will likely be better still). at the higher settings it becomes completely cpu bound.

Well how does an Intel i5 4670K Overclocked to 4.3GHz sound? Worth the purchase?

as i said. there are people with overclocked i5s and i7s who still can't get solid playable FPS out of that game on it's highest graphics settings. it's a really poorly optimized game. i think the general consensus is you'd need an ivy bridge clocked up to 5+ ghz to max that game; and as anyone can tell you, IB doesn't get to 5ghz all that easily or well.

But it could run it on very-high?

Cusack :

sure you could. grab a i5-4670k, a solid z87 motherboard, a corsair h80i, and a $200-$250 gpu (hd 7950 or 760 GTX)and you should be able to play rome2 at or near it's max settings.
