    i meet a requirements except CPU

    Hi everyone, online i go by NumNutz and i was thinking about getting farcry 4 very soon. i checked the requirements and passed all of them excpept the CPU. My CPU right now is the AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8 GHz (or something really close to that bc im traveling right now)
    Will that make me not able to play the game at all, or will it still be a little playable. My friend is also gonna get it so we can play together.
    I hope you guys/gals can help me with my issue. Thanks :)

    Most of the performance problems are texture streaming related, which affects primarily the GPU and RAM.

    That said, you may encounter slight dips when lots of AI are active with that CPU. To a large degree you can minimize that by playing with stealth and avoiding outpost defense and other options though. There's not many big battles in the game where you fight waves of enemies with lots of fellow Golden Path though.

    Most likely, yes, in fact I've seen a YouTube vid of someone with that CPU and a 6850 playing it. You might want to drop him some questions in the comments about what settings he was using. The descript says 30-50 FPS while not recording though.
