I'm considering buying Dying Light, as it seems like a nice co-op game, but I don't know if my PC can run it properly. Has anyone here played it with a similar setup? Will this be good enough to play at a decent framerate? :)

CPU: AMD A8-5600k 3,6 Ghz
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7850 1 GB VRAM
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
Resolution: 1680x1050

Here's a helpful site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

My system is a AMD FX 4170 @ 4.2ghz, 8gb ram and a Radeon HD7770 1gb ghz edition and it runs Dying Light perfectly fine on medium settings, I haven't looked to see what type of frames per sec it's running at but it's perfectly playable, your cpu and my cpu are about the same performance wise... hope this helps. According to that site, my PC does not meet the minimum requirements due to my gfx card and cpu being below spec... yet the 3 hours of perfectly fine gameplay I had last night tells a different story ;)

I did a double check: it says the game requires a minimum of 1 GB dedicated video RAM (which I assume your card has) and a 3.3 - 3.5 Ghz processor (which you also have) so I'm not sure why it would tell you you don't meet the minimum requirements?? Are you sure you weren't looking at the specs in the Recommended tab?

My PC specs:
Windows 98
Pentium 2 133mhz
256mb of ram
Voodoo 3 16mb
resolution 600X400

Can it run Dying Light?

That's because I'm weird and can't build my computer for shit.
Seriously,I wanna try it out but my low end laptop can't even run Grim Fandango.

In Steam's user reviews, people say that Dying Light is not optimized for the AMD systems (specially GPU). It's better to wait for the future updates/patches and then decide to buy or not buy Dying Light.

Yep.. I'm pretty sure I'm looking at the minimum specs..

edit: the 3.2ghz AMD cpu they state as minimum also has 8 cores (my cpu is 4 core) and the Intel i5 cpu they state is gonna outperform it's AMD equivalent by a good margin but you get what you pay for when it comes to AMD vs. Intel

What i've heard: If you have almost minimum and nvidia and put view distance to zero it should be fine. If they patch it so the optimization is better and AMD users get a better peformance it should be even better. Then again this is just what I heard, I do not have the game itself.

I would assume Dying Light needs a pretty good computer to run. Is there a demo you can try?

Dying light is pretty as feck, gotta say. I do wonder though that why my GPU makes this weird coil whine-ish noise when I run the game. All temps normal, nothing stands out. Also the sound only comes out when fps is 60 or lower, above that, nothing :D

It seems that the game is terribly optimized.

This has nothing to do with the game Dying Light, but my PC is low power and it can run games fine on certain visual quality.

My PC is a:
AMD Sempron LE-1300 - 2.3 GHZ (single core)
Windows 7 64 bit
4 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce GT 220

I can run games like Dear Esther, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Spelunky HD, and many others at medium to high settings, even though Dear Esther says they want dual core, which I don't have, it runs, so sometimes PC's can run games even if they don't meet min specs, just not on ultra quality ;)

No, I haven't heard anything about a demo :/

I also get that whining noise from my power supply sometimes, it mostly happens when the PC is turned off. It has been like that for almost two years. I asked someone about it once, and they said that it could be a bad capacitor. I don't know what is causing it on your graphics card though.

Having two quotes in one post did not work for me today, strange. Well, I'll make another post for the next reply.

Thanks, that helps a lot :) I heard that optimization was pretty bad on AMD graphics cards, so it's good to see that your card is playing the game well. I'm no feinschmecker on framerate, as long as it's playable, I approve :P

How is the framerate in the most demanding areas by the way? Still nice and playable?
