they are saying that you need a recommend CPU of AMD FX 8000 series or better / Intel i7 Quad Core CPU..
Now my question is that whether my i5 will be able to max out this game at 1920x1080 res. ???

vmN · Jan 21, 2014

yes.
It's not really about the CPU more the GPU and the 280x should be able to handle it.

Agree that i5 will be just fine for any game. Even though I have the older i5 3570K it is still running strong in any game I have(over 335 in Steam alone). I have yet to find a game my system could not handle 1080p ultra/max settings.

mostly games depend on gpu rather than cpu having some exceptions like bf4 and crysis3.
280x will handle it very well.

vmN · Jan 21, 2014

varun_02 :

You can exclude BF4.
BF4 is badly coded compared to what is should be for a company that size.
We are talking about 2 frames improvement going from 4 threads to 8 threads.

Ya i agree.

But guys, that website is saying that you need a cpu of i7 quad core processor and here i am playing these games (able to max out every game) with my i5 processor, so you think that i will be able, not me, i mean, my rig will be able to handle that game (Thief) at MAX settings ??

vmN · Jan 21, 2014

Jaduu :

If the game need solid 8 threads to run at max, then the coders should be fired.
no way a i5 shouldn't be able to handle it.

Adam Schneider · Jan 21, 2014

MOST DEFINATLY YOU COULD HAVE A i3 AND TAT GPU WOULD HANDLE THE GAME.

Jaduu · Jan 21, 2014

so, i have to upgrade my cpu from i5 to i7 4770 k ?? DAMN !!

vmN · Jan 21, 2014

Jaduu :

no, the i5 is more than enough.

Jaduu · Jan 21, 2014

vmN :

ok, this is the last question:
so in simple way, you are telling me that i5 4670k is more than enough and i don't have to go through the upgrade of this i5 and i will be able to play those upcoming games at max ( with the help of r9 280 x) ???

vmN · Jan 21, 2014

He 4670k should be able to play next-gen games at max.

Jaduu · Jan 21, 2014

vmN :

ok thanks, now i am sure that my rig will be able to run that game at max, and thanx buddy!!

People u need to understand how system requirements for a game are listed.
Thief game says(as per OP's link) CPU: AMD FX 8000 series or better / Intel i7 Quad Core CPU recommended.
Now what does this mean?
On the i7 side CPUs like Core i7-860, -920, -930, -940, -950 exist (all quad core)
On the AMD side CPUs like FX-8120 exist
But Core i3-3250, -3245, -3240, -3225, -3220, -3210, -2100, -2105, -2120, -2125, -2130 beats the above processors

And those i7 processors are hyperthreaded. 4 cores, 8 threads. It seems this game will be heavily optimised in AMD's favour, no wonder, they've been working closely with the devs.

vmN · Jan 21, 2014

JOOK-D :

That would be odd. Simply as AMD released their new APU lines with 4 cores.

JOOK-D · Jan 21, 2014

vmN :

I think we all know those APUs aren't actually geared for gaming yet, regardless of what AMD say. I believe they have plans for 8 core APUs soon anyway, can't remember where I read that.
But I think Thief is one of the titles that supports the new TrueAudio tech from AMD, so they have been working closely with them which would explain why they want multithreaded support (FX is still selling very well), regardless of their APUs.

Jaduu :

Yes your cpu can max it out.

Nice rig but add another 4gb ram so you will have 8 gb.
