Acornie 490 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Everyone knows Apb performance is not stellar, and it's only gotten worse. Basically I do not think the system req shown on Steam are accurate at all. What do you guys think the minimum and recommend specs in 2018 are? I'll suggest a recommended specs: Intel i3@3ghz, 8gb ram, 2gb vram gpu Edited June 19, 2018 by Archon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SelttikS 224 Posted June 19, 2018 Honestly some older hardware will run it just fine, whereas some newer systems will struggle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nymphi--DoubleDee 83 Posted June 19, 2018 There is a difference between requirement, and optimal. I used to play on my Athlon II, 4gb of RAM, and a nVidia 9500GT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acornie 490 Posted June 19, 2018 Thank you both for very obvious answers, I know there's alot of pointless threads on here but you could at least give what I say a little bit of thought; would you recommend anyone this pc to play Apb on nowadays? OS:Windows Vista 64-Bit / Windows 7 64-Bit Processor:2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad or equivalent AMD x4 Memory:4 GB RAM Graphics:GeForce 8800GT 512MB or AMD equivalent I have an older pc that beats that in every facet and I get 35 fps.

I heard, that AMD Systems seem to run better on APB, i could be wrong though Edited June 19, 2018 by SandyBitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recommended to run a game, it dint say ull get 60fps on 1080p. You forgot to add a point, hdd space of 7GB. That was for the old game. Now its around 12.8gb including todays patch. I reckon developers have enough things to do instead of editing the above said things to i3 5157 U, 8GB Ram etc. I bet 90% out there uses an i3 or more which is more than recommemded.

KyoukiDotExe 231 Posted June 19, 2018 APB loves processors so my suggestion would be atleast any i5 of last generations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KyoukiDotExe 231 Posted June 19, 2018 4 minutes ago, Archon said: Does Apb even utilize more than two cores though? No but processor speed helps and two cores 1 for OS 1 for the game is enough still. As long as the MHz is fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magik 184 Posted June 19, 2018 A 2010 or 2011 Core i3 dual core with 4 or 6 gb of RAM, and 2011/12 dedicated graphics probably would be just fine. APB is heavy on single core performance. Older processors don't have as good multicore, but you should still be fine on minimum... remember... this is like 600p minimum settings, not medium at 1080p.

SK4LP 62 Posted June 19, 2018 i ve : i5 3.20ghz, gtx 670, 16gb , seven 64 and got 110+ fps (but use only smooth framerate 60fps ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to follow the logic pretty much every UE3 game out there does of utilizing 2 threads heavily? Then the rest is just some light stuff. Could be wrong of course. I can't say I've bothered looking into it too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShiroYashaGr 1 Posted June 19, 2018 AMD Ryzen 5 1400 (oc to 3.8ghz) Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 ti MSI OC Edition 8gb ram 2666mhz fps 60-90 with a lot of fps drops in minimum settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlatMan 711 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) They need to update it for sure. The "Recommended" specs should be moved to "Minimum". Also having 7GB of free HDD space will not work. The game will crash with out of memory errors or freeze mid mission. You need at least 20GB space free with all the extra character assets that need to be downloaded and compiled. This is what I would recommend for anyone wanting stable fps. This will at least let players know that they may need to tweak a bit if they have lower hardware. OS: Windows 7 64-Bit Processor: Intel i7 2600k or better. Memory: 16GB (1600MHz or higher). Graphics: GTX 970 or better. Storage: SSD 40GB free.

I wouldn't recommend a 970 or better, instead I would go for anything above the 400 series of Nvidia GPU's, and above the AMD Radeon R5/R7/R9 200 Series GPU's. Speed on MHz is also a bit irrelevant towards performance. Any processor with 2 cores and tons of GHz APB will do just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElectroStingz 53 Posted June 20, 2018 Hello, 2018 Recommended specification. (1920x1080@60fps highest settings) Intel i5-8600K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 16GB RAM nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Windows 10 x64bit This is subject to change depending on the engine upgrade but overall the above will provide a decent gaming PC.
