    maybe but i have a laptop with a intel core i3 and a ati HD5470 512mb.
    The game runs at lowest settings with ~35fps

    I have a intel core i3 and it runs on high settings except for lighting when I turn lighting on high game then lags.

    That's what the demo is for! Also, what GPU do ya got?

    (BTW, its Core 2 Duo, not i2)

    No way to tell without knowing the GPU, but the core 2 line is long obsolete now and usually only used in budget machines without dedicated GPU's, I doubt it will run it on anything but lowest settings.

    Well, depending on the GPU I'm thinking that it might be able to run low (Not minimum) settings in a lower resolution.

    the core 2 duo series is still a perfectly good series, obviously not as good as something like an i5 or so, but still plenty for all games of this century (until watch dogs that is, holy shit does it have high requirements):

    You owe me a new jaw, mine broke when it fell off and smashed on the floor.

    Damn, my desktop runs a 3.4ghz athlon 2 triple core with an NVidia GTX460. Upgrade time maybe...

    Oh my god. I have an A8-3850 which is really a Phenom II but I think it'd be decent for that game because I have it overclocked to the MAAAAX. (5.4GHz. Suck it. (Yes, I have proof if anyone wants to see it))

    It runs half usage because your CPU bottlenecks it from performing as well as it could. (Meaning your CPU is worse than your GPU so it holds the GPU back as it cant keep up)

    The CPU in my old computer (1 1/2 yrs ago) it bottlenecked EVERYTHING, even my 20Mb/s internet connection. Doing speedtests would be funny because I would get what I was paying for until I ran out of processor cache and then it would drop right down to less than 1Mb/s and sit there. How it even ran any recent games to any extent at all is a mystery to me. I built a new PC since then that falls somewhere between High and Ultra watch dogs requirements.


    It might also be a janky chipset or mobo doing the bottlenecking. If I were you I'd consider getting a new motherboard and processor before upgrading that 8400 (even though you'll probably want to replace that, too.)

    Trust me. It's possible. (As a person who owned a P3 system until 2009 and then a P4 system until last year)

    Its technically plausible, but I call BS. Any network card/desktop CPU combo from the last decade can easily cope with 20mb/s no bottleneck. I must specify desktop CPU as things like an AVR AtMega or PIC (both of which are common in embedded systems and still CPU's, and some are internet connected too) cannot cope with a 20mb/s data throughput so to say all CPU's can cope would be false.

    I personally have a pentium 4 still (not my main machine of course), it coped fine on a 37mb/s connection with a bog standard 10/100mb/s realtek network "card" (actually part of motherboard). Network file transfers peaked at 42mb/s whenever I tried, usually sustained 26mb/s.





    As for motherboards bottlenecking CPU's and GPU's. Eh, feasible again. Unlikely unless the motherboard doesnt support full 16 lane PCI or the card is in an 8 lane slot or something (many motherboards have the second slot 8 lane only but use a 16 lane connector).

    8400gs can handle grid map and nothing else. On all setting low you will get 10fps with that card
