Jaxium 0 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Greetings. Right now, I've tried the game on my laptop which has these specs: CPU: i7-4510U 2.00 GHz 2.60 GHz GPU: Nvidia GeForce 840M RAM: 6GB DDR3 And... 1TB HDD As I had expected, the game didn't even run averagely smooth with those specs, even on low I had 15-25 FPS. So..I'm thinking to buy a new computer or build one myself, not only for Atlas anyway. I need some recommendations, I have some stuff in mind so..tell me what you think of them, I'd appreciate that. I'm probably going to buy these: CPU: i5-8600K 6-Core 3.6 GHz 4.3 GHz GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050ti 4GB GDDR5 OR Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 (Not sure which) RAM: 16GB DDR4 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB Tell me what you think about that set, and is it going to perform well with Atlas? Also, is 4-Core good enough for Atlas or 6-Core is required? Thanks in advance! Edited January 14, 2019 by Jaxium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xx0zill 2 Posted January 14, 2019 My 1060 on my laptop runs great with the game. Good fps on high settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taks118 5 Posted January 14, 2019 4-core should be plenty for atlas. But the kicker is.. Save on the 4core instead of 6.. and upgrade to at least a gtx 1080 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LifelessGamer 17 Posted January 14, 2019 When in settings for gpu it shows Low=gtx 660, medium=I dont recall, high=gtx 970. Before I swear it said high settings required a gtx 1070. Hopefully it was an optimization update. Gtx 970 is slightly more powerful than a gtx 1050 ti. Only reason to go with a gtx 1050 it is to get one that doesn't require 6 pin power connector for a desktop. Gtx 1060 is equivalent to a gtx 980. Get the most powerful card you can for the right price. Rtx 2060 is coming out for 350ish and is equivalent to a GTX 1070 ti. Rumor of a GTX 2060 but that may never come or be months away.

I’d wanna have a six core. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bushma 8 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) My 1050ti is getting maxed out in terms of performance, but not capacity. On low settings that is. Could be that I suffer from weaker CPU and not GPU, would love to see someone else's input with same GPU. Edited January 14, 2019 by Bushma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammanit 0 Posted January 14, 2019 I wouldn't rely on "1060 is great, high fps on high settings". You don't know if they play on native resolution (resolution slider isn't maxed default) or what native resolution they are using. The refresh rate of your display is also important. The 1060 is meh not more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I guess I'd say go for 1060 as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1060 is meh not more. I have it in my school laptop, I just played it today for the first time on auto high settings, runs great. No problem at all. I didn’t change anything to resolution scale. I have it on 1920x1080 standard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxium 0 Posted January 14, 2019 Actually, seems like I will be going with 1060. Some people told me not to go with 1050ti. I will be playing on a 1920x1080 monitor anyway, so that's a plus. Now I'm confused about the CPU. Not sure if I should get i5 6-Core, or i7 4-Core, or just hit up with AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core. Are there downsides if I pair AMD R5 2600 6-Core with GTX 1060 6GB?

HM7 7 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) this is my favorite pc-builder guide. i already built 2 pc inspired by it. Its in German but the specs can be read by everyone: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/der-ideale-gaming-pc-spiele-pc-selbst-zusammenstellen.215394/ Edited January 14, 2019 by HM7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodo 147 Posted January 14, 2019 6 core CPUs often have issues with other games.. still.. never quite understood that. But I have had the same i5 for years now, and it is by far the best CPU I have ever had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSzerdi 79 Posted January 14, 2019 New games are starting to use full CPU capabilities. Dual Universe uses 100% of my i7 8700k. Had to buy liquid cooling for it. Look at performance specs of GPU. I never get less than XX70 series. Big jumps in performance levels between XX60 and XX70. You can find 1070 under $400 on sale. Easy software to overclock these days, so pointless to pay extra for overclock from supplier. Use something like CPUid to monitor heat levels and look for voltage spikes. Even dummies like me can do it these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
