I am considering buying Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for PC around Christmas. The only thing is, I don't know if my PC will be able to play it. Currently the only Call of Duty game I play on PC is Black Ops II and it runs perfectly fine. So my question is, will my PC be able to play Advanced Warfare at decent framerates on even the lowest settings?

Intel Core i3-2130 3.4 ghz
6GB of RAM
Asus Radeon HD 7850 2 GB
 
Solution
should be good, these games are more gpu bound than cpu from what i have seen. my old dual core with a 550ti that time played these games just fine.

not the most powerful cpu but it will play decent

I bought it yesterday and only played for a little bit after school. I was so excited I didn't check the settings as most games automatically set them due to your setup. It was bad. It was studdering and sometimes freezing for up to 3-4 seconds. I have a similar set up as you.
AMD FX 8320 (OC) 4.1 GHz
8GB of RAM
XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB
I now the Asus is a little better card and the extra gig might help a lot. But I just wanted to share my experience with this.
I will update after I get a chance to play around with it after work tonight.

I have been playing for a couple for the past. 2 days the game is awesome. As for the performance it has improved a lot. I ended up overclocking my gpu by 100mhz to 960 and bumping the memory clock up to 1215MHz. My temps have been staying inbetween 70-80 and it hit 83 once. It is much more playable like this. I have noticed that my ram has been using around 92% while playing and it stays around 40% normally. So its looking like the game itself is using a little over 4GB of ram. I still have the occasional studdering but the game is playable now.
