System Requirements are Inaccurate

I bought DAI for my son for Christmas. His PC specs now match or better the RECOMMENDED specs, not the MIMIMUM, the RECOMMENDED. Originally he had a 9800 GTX graphics card which was still better tha...

@Hanzkwet We are looking into reports of performance lower than it should be, especially post patch 2. Among other steps, clearing Origin temporary files and disabling the Intel Rapid Storage Technology service from task manager might help.
As for playing on a machine between lower and mid specs, I know It's possible, I've done so for dozens of hours and multiple machines of varying power levels. On the lower-end machine there are some frame drops in some areas (dragon fights for example), and the tutorial seems to be one of the worst offenders but it's still playable. However, as mentioned, some players are reporting issues with performance lower than their specs would suggest.
Thank you for the response. I'm glad you are looking into the graphical issues. He is still able to play through the game now on low settings, and
the graphics look remarkably good even at these settings, so going to keep things they way they are for now. On my own computer, with a 660 GTX
graphics card, I'm able to play on all high settings, but I have a much better motherboard and more RAM. However, I'm going to remain skeptical that
someone with a computer that just meets the minumum requirements could even play the game in its current state.
Thanks again and look forward to the patch.

My current PC meets the recommended system requirements and I get 50-60 fps on high settings (with ultra meshes and no AA) at 1920x1080. My previous PC was below the recommended CPU requirement and got a decent, though not stellar, framerate on medium to high settings at the same resolution.

I haven't had the issues you described and I'm curious to see what's causing it. The two PCs I played the game on were:

1. Phenom II x4 965BE 3.4 Ghz; AMD Radeon R9 270X (decent performance)
2. Core i5 4690K 3.5 Ghz, AMD Radeon R9 270X (good performance)

I'm using Mantle, that may be a big difference here, though I've heard from Nvidia users who haven't had a single major issue in the game.

Mod Edit: I removed your post, please remain civil.

I appreciate your intent to help people, but on a forum like this where folks with issues gather, problems can appear to be more widespread than they are.

I personally know of dozens of people with midrange Nvidia cards who don't have issues, so acting like issues are 100% global is counterproductive.

I'm also not saying that issues don't exist either of course, but there are a lot of folks whose performance is fine, and calling them liars is not acceptable.
