Yezzie 2 Posted February 2, 2019 Im not sure if I buy this cpu AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (3.1 GHz) for apb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saxtus 497 Posted February 2, 2019 Whatever we tell you now about recommended APB hardware, probably will be obsolete in a month or so, when the new engine arrives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poque 25 Posted February 2, 2019 Saxtus is right,i would advice you to wait a lil bit till you make a purchase ,untill we get the engine upgrade things are not certain about what specs you should have 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alani 475 Posted February 2, 2019 AMD is known to heat really quickly. So if you think about getting one in general, look at water cooling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should stop listening to Intel fanboys. Ryzens are actually very conservative when it comes to temps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VickyFox 353 Posted February 2, 2019 Unreal Engine 3.5 is hoped to come sometime within a month's time, It's REALLY unrecommended to alter your hardware at this time based on current APB requirements as this engine upgrade will significantly alter the game's performance and requirements. The new game engine may be optimised to the point of being more efficient on the CPU and GPU than the current game engine. For this reason you may find your current CPU would actually be reasonable to continue using! You probably already have but consider if your graphics card is older and more of a bottle neck than the CPU. consider the hardware demands of other games you may play. It is advisable to continue keeping an eye out for changes in CPU prices, but hold off buying a new CPU just for now for the next month or two till the new engine is released and the bugs and glitches are worked out. Hope this helps and all the best with the PC upgrades 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a completely different story right now. The new amd wraith is impressively good, outperforms intel's stock cooler, (definitely looks better than it lmao) and allows some overclocking even. It's also naturally silent, you won't hear it even @ full load. As for the cpus, that ryzen is equivalent to some older models from intel. If i were you, i'd get a ryzen 5 or 7 just cause they're way better. In any way, the developers' objective is to get the game to run on as many systems as possible (duh!) so just stick to that ryzen 3, it's completely capable and will continue to be for at least a couple of years. But I suggest upgrading to the better models in the long run if you wish to do anything serious with your computer. You should be focusing more on a capable GPU right now though. Seems the game is getting a graphical improvement with the next update Edited February 2, 2019 by _chain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alani 475 Posted February 2, 2019 Water cooling helps regardless, and its pretty cheap nowadays, Idk what whathisface is talking about intel fanboy though. Lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swft 356 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) AMD CPUs aren't that good in single core performance compared to Intel. This game runs on a single core right now, not sure how it's going to be with 3.5 though, so just be aware. AMD Threadripper CPUs are good though.

Not when you just buy the most expensive thing anyway. Do you not play APB on dual CPUs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedz 147 Posted February 2, 2019 I'd wait until 3.5 is out and also Zen 2 which is supposed to be a lot better than the previous generation of AMD CPUs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlatMan 711 Posted February 2, 2019 I would not get that CPU. It's slower than the other Ryzen CPUs in single thread performance. I would save up a little more and get a Ryzen 5 1600X, but only if you must go with AMD. Otherwise, any quad core Intel CPU over 3GHz from the last 5 years will be a better choice for APB.

Well it's all based on a post with lots of 'hopes'. We know more though now. We know SPCT have played on it. We also know there's a ton of bugs. And by the sounds of it, it won't be on test servers in a month but we really don't know. Either way if op wants to upgrade do it, Everyone loves an upgrade. But if you're really just upgrading for APB and you totally want to upgrade in the most efficient way for APB then wait. 7 minutes ago, CookiePuss said: I mean, that's just some random player.
