Default [PCGH] Dragon Age: Origins - System Requirements, Benchmarks and Graphics Tuning

Quote:
Dragon Age: Origins - System Requirements, Benchmarks and Graphics Tuning

RPG fans don't necessary need to upgrade their system for Dragon Age: Origins. Pc Games Hardware has the system requirements, tests the visual quality and gives some tuning tips.

The new Eclipse Engine that Bioware developed for Dragon age: Origins delivers visual gimmicks like Bump Mapping, Ambient Occlusion, Material Shaders and effects like Bloom or heat haze. Furthermore the whole system has been deigned to scale well on multi-core CPUs. Initially this sounds like high system requirements, but those are quite moderate after all.

Visual Gimmicks?

I guess heat is just a gimmick too.

Finally, maybe people will stop saying "you don't need more than two cores for gaming, quad-cores are a waste of money". I've been saying for a long time, just wait until 2010 folks...the more cores the better in the very near future.

Sorry but...

4 GBS OF RAM RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!

This game visually is underwhelming, lets say compared to mass effect and the upcomming mass effect 2.

$GBs. Sounds like a poorly optimised game for me. Not happy bioware And just because it works on 4 core better than two. I still remember GTA4...

I thhink crysis on high at 1080p was less than 2 gbs. Hmm indeed

Yeah, it puts me off from the game to be honest. I don't need my kids walking past my computer when something like that is up on the screen. I think I'll pass on this one.
