Hey guys,
A friend recommended I post here.
I want to run Battlefield 4 vanilla on my PC, issue is that my PC is old.
Specs:
Intl Core 2 CPU 6600 2.40Ghz
2GB of RAM (2 x 1GB)
GeForce GTX 650 Ti (upgraded about a year ago)
Windows 7
Canirunit say i most definitely cannot.
I want to do a complete system upgrade later this year/early next year but right now the priority is to be able to play BF4 while spending the absolute minimum on hardware.
My thoughts are with a single 4GB (around $40) I might be able to run it.
I am seeking your advice! Will BF4 run with 4GB RAM and the above CPU and graphics card?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I am holding out on the full upgrade for the next wave of better tech and figure a package upgrade will prob be cheaper than buying each individual part. My PC is from 2006 so...yeah...

The video card you have is about equivalent in benchmarks to the HD 3870, which is listed as the minimum requirement for video. You'll probably be a bit CPU bound but eh, on lower settings it'll probably run if you chuck a bit more ram into it.
This is great for you, since that means there are a number of people who have done framerate tests for various games and uploaded them to youtube:

This guy here has your same CPU, the non-ti version of your GPU, and 4GB of RAM, and he is reporting 20/31/57fps (minimum/average/maximum) at 1920x1080 with no AA and all other settings on medium (he says in a forum post that Shadowplay eats around 5fps during recording). 31fps is definitely playable as an average framerate, but if you wanted something smoother you could always knock a few settings down. The only thing to remember is that for that old LGA775 board you'll need DDR2 RAM, which can be kinda hard to find at decent prices sometimes.
