My specs are as followed;
-Athlon II x4 750k Black Edition 3.40GHz
-Sapphire R9 270 2gb
-Corsair vengeance 2x4gb dual channel 8gb kit
-500w corsair bronze
-1TB WCD Hard drive
-Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Motherboard
-Windows 7 Ultimate
-BitFenix Comrade case Midi-Tower

Hello

Two games are coming out soon:

-Alien Isolation which is recommended to have a 'AMD: Phenom II X4 955 - 4 Core, 3.2 GHz or Intel: Core 2 Quad Q9650 - 4 Core, 3.0 GHz

-Dying Light which is recommended to need an 'quad core CPU @3GHz '


I have compared the Phenom II X4 955 with my AMD CPU online and the sites say the Phenom II is 2% better than my nice budget Athlon II and the recommended Phenom II is just a different socket type.

So could i play these games on 1080p at 60fps on i would say medium settings with my current CPU?

Thanks

They should both play, you will have to tweak the settings to get the fps you want, you might be happy with 25fps but you might want 60fps, that will dictate the settings you can get away with

Its near impossible to say until the game is out and tested.
The recommended specs are just a rough guideline and are rarely any indication as to what settings you could run it on.

I would expect you to AT LEAST be able to play these 2 games on high(with lowered AA) at 1080p.

How fast are your RAMs?

Faster memory boosts bandwidth and reduces latency which can help in some games -- Also, the Athlon 750K can take quite an overclock which takes the performance level beyond that of the PII 955BE ...

Thanks for all the replies

I only use MLAA (ATI's Anti-aliasing) on old games, never on new ones as it makes the camera feel sluggish.

This is the ram i bought:

Also Videographer i'm fine with 30fps on my console but never on a pc ever. Its 60 or nothing at all as on 50fps or below everything just looks like sluggish slow motion. I would not buy those games if it means i'm at 30fps.

If i play Alien Isolation i want to be concentrating on not being eaten by the Xenomorph, not getting annoyed about the low fps.
I am just hoping its a smooth 60fps on 1920x 1080 on medium with anti-aliasing off.

Thanks
