I know system requirements are written with the game but i have seen some games in which min requirement is higher than mine but they still run on my pc on low settings. Planet side 2 is 15 gb download which will take 3-4 days on my shitty 1mb internet so i want to confirm this before start downloading

Spec
core 2 duo e4600(2.4 ghz)
3 GB ram ddr2
P5qpl-am
320gb hdd

graphics: G41 chipset

Planetside almost never allows onboard chipsets to run the game. And coming from a system with a core i7 and a Radeon 4850M gfx card, I can say, even with this semi-good build, I was hardly ever able to get more than 15FPS in medium-sized engagements.

Warframe, I think you should be a bit better on, though don't expect any sort of high FPS or a fun experience as a direct result.

Honestly, you are really gonna have to get an upgrade soon if you are going to want to play any of the next gen games. A 2.4ghz processor speed is barely high enough to cope with these games as it is, and many now utilize multicore CPU's, so having only 2 cores would make the FPS situation all the worse.

Ram also needs an upgrade as DDR2 will often not even interface with newer games.

Here are a few links I recommend you explore as you move forward. Keep in mind, you don't have to go for a 1,500$ or more computer to be competitive; it will help, it just isn't absolutely necessary.

To check if your computer specs will run games, you can click here:

And so you can see just how affordable gaming rigs can actually be, here is a video for you to watch:

Hope this helps.
 
You could probably run it pretty well with something going for around $700. Seems to be a good market spot. You could throw in a FX6300 and a pretty nice GPU.

If you wanted to upgrade your GPU, you could go for like an R7 260X that might improve your gaming performance.

1 tb hdd
CM/Gigabyte/corsair $50 case

How about me when I run this game and what fps do I get.

Os: Windows 8 pro build 9200
Ram: 4gb
Prosessor: i3 1.9ghz
GPU: Intel HD graphics 4400

I know i wouldn't run this game in 60 fps but I wanna know how bad when i run this game in low and Max setting.

As a Planetside 2 vet, I'll leave some fps numbers and hardware configs so you can get an idea of what to expect. Graphics settings used are maxed out on texture quality, low/off on everything else, bloom on to make seeing cloakers easier, view distance LOD at 1500m, and render quality at 100%. As a side note, as long as you have a decently modern, DX9-capable GPU, the load on the CPU is what really makes Planetside 2 so hard to run. Or rather, it's the fact that the game runs everything, including shadows and lighting and graphical stuff through the CPU instead of the GPU. The GPU pretty much sits around doing nothing other than its end of the ambient occlusion calculations, using its frame buffer, and pushing pixels to your display.

2560x1600 (native res)(is this called 1600p? no idea.):
Athlon 760k at 5.1ghz, HD7950, 8gb ram: 45fps in an empty warpgate, 15-25 in combat, 0.2 in heavy combat
FX8320 at 5.2ghz, HD7950, 8gb ram: 85fps in the warpgate, 15-40 in combat, 0
i5 4460 with onboard graphics, 8gb ram: 50fps in the warpgate, 5-15fps in combat, 0.8fps in heavy combat/getting flaked while flying
i5 4460 with GTX 1060 6gb, 16gb ram: 120fps in the warpgate, 45-65 in combat, 35~ish in heavy combat
i7 4790k at 4.7ghz with GTX 1060, 16gb ram: 210fps in the warpgate, 90~ish in combat, 55~ish in heavy combat

1080p:
760k + HD7950: 50fps, 15-30, 0.2
FX8320 + HD7950: 85, 12-45, 0-0.2
i5 4460 with onboard: 70, 5-25, 0.8
i5 + 1060: 180, 80~ish, 35
i7 + 1060: 240 (self-imposed fps cap), 115~ish, 60~ish

Malik, the i5 4430 + GTX660 should be pretty good, even up to 1080p resolution. Planetside 2 really doesn't stress the GPU at all, especially since Physx was permanently disabled a few years ago because of some nasty bugs. Why not the i5 4460 or a newer i5 6400/6500 or something? Are the prices that different in Pakistan? I'm more worried that your internet will make the game nearly unplayable. Due to the nature of clientside hit detection, I doubt you'll have a very good experience. This is a pretty packet-heavy game.

Jojokhor, I don't think the game will launch properly. You may not even get past the opening character-selection screen. If you can, you'll probably have infinite frame lag at the beginning of the tutorial, which is full of smoke and fog and sparks and other particle effects (a.k.a. even more CPU-heavy).

Thx. So if I run this game my PC, it will lag as hell right?

Well I don't even think to download this game, cuz I don't​ want my PC makes some "fireworks" in my CPU.
