Will my PC run Planetside 2?

Run? Probably

Playable? No

Visit some site.

Nope. I have better settings than you and I was unable to play PS2.

My Specs are:
16GB ram
i7-950 3.05ghz
GTX 690

and i'm getting 10-15 fps its almost unplayable.

You will never be able to play that with that graphics card.

Jones you are talking some shit :L a 690 is 2 680's, with one 670 I can play maximum and I get around 30-45 fps

you would be able to play it but you probaly wouldnt play it for long because your fps would get very low and it would be unplayable

From the screwball new forum thingie on steam:

"if you go into SteamApps/common/PlanetSide2 and find UserOptions.ini, you will see the render distance is set to 9999.999... which means you are constantly rendering every single part of the massive map.

change that to about 2000 or more and you will notice a huge performance boost"

Worked wonders for me, and I've been running with it set like that for three days now. :)

This may be a strange question, but why don't you just download it and try it? It is free.

It's a fairly unoptimized game but you might run it on medium-high settings.

i think so

Game is quite CPU intensive. I have:

Windows 7 64bit
6 gigs ram
gtx 660ti
Amd Phenom 960 3.0 quad core

In large battles my fps drops to 20ish on mostly high settings. Turning shadows off in the Useroptions.ini file (setting to 0)will give a pretty large boost to fps. I recently upgraded my graphics card from a nvidia gt 545 to a gtx 660ti, and it really didnt give a large boost, so the game seems to use quite a bit more cpu power than gpu. They aren't done optimizing it however so the game will probably perform better after future updates.

Don't bother even trying Planetside 2 with those specs

You should have at least 8 gigs ram, a quad core processor, and a much better graphics card.

Just an aside - Planetside 2 is the only game I've ever completely not been able to play on my iMac with 3.06ghz Core 2 Duo and AMD Radeon HD 4670. It's pretty ridiculous. Even on lowest settings, the performance is so bad it's not even playable. Meanwhile I can play other modern games like Dishonored, Saints Row 3, L4D2, Orcs Must Die 2, Crysis, GTA4, BRINK, Alice:MR, among others - usually on high settings! Ultra sadness.

You could just download it and try it?

Bad CPU, god awful GPU. No. It'll run, nowhere near playable though.

No i don't believe that you will be able to, put you could jsut download it and try it.

4GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 4830
Amd Phenom X4 9950 2.6GHz
Works fine

I play on high just fine with 8gb ram, i3-2120 and a 6870. Granted my max res is 1600x900 because my monitor sucks.

nothing runs planetside 2 well. We moslty make it walk slowly and take deep breaths. At least my pc suffers a lot, being somewhat old.

visit some site

yes, you play fine on this PC

the game is horrible. pay to win or camp all day
