So when buying a game for a computer, I have trouble understanding the processor requirements because I have an AMD processor but am not sure what level it's at. What I'm about to include is just a random example of system requirements from the game Fall Out 4.
Minimal: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
Recommended: Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent
So is any AMD processor okay here if the clock speed is 3.0Ghz or higher, but I guess the higher the better? How do I know if my processor has speeds that high or not? With Intel processors I know that the higher the number after the "i" the better but what about where it says 2300 or 4790 in this case. How do I know what number the intel processor is?
And now for the graphics cards. I notice that with most xbox360 and ps3 level games integrated graphics do fine, but this game is big where integrated graphics can cause lag.
How do I know which graphics card are better than others?
Minimum: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent
Recommended: NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent
So I'm guessing that again, the higher the number the better it is?
I'm sorry if I'm not explaining myself clearly so I'll watch this thread and respond with any clarification if needed.
