With a little bit of tweaking (and, admittedly, some compromising), you can get almost any game you want up and running on a potato. But if you don’t mind blocky pixels and-well, we’re not going to sugar-coat it-general ugliness, there are still ways to get extremely intensive modern titles running on bottom-of-the-pile hardware. With titles like Assassin’s Creed: Unity demanding a GTX 680 as the minimum spec, we’re moving towards the point where you’ll either just need to upgrade your hardware or stick with older titles. The vast majority of gamers either use integrated graphics or entry-level discrete parts-the GTX 650 and below. However, nifty press privileges aside, the fact of the matter is that as per Steam, the Intel HD 4000 is the most commonly used graphics adapter, integrated or otherwise. And occasionally, we even get to spend time with real behemoths like the 980 Ti. The good folks over at Asus are sending over a Strix 390X very soon (stay with us here for our hands-on feature).
We’ve got a solid Haswell i5 paired with a 780 Ti and 8 GB of RAM.
Here at IGN India, we’re in a fairly good spot when it comes to PC hardware.
