    Please refer to your other thread here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/will-a-amd-Phenom-9750-play-dragon-age-Inquisition/m-p/5316460#U5316460

    Read the game requirements, read the computer specifications. The closer to minimum the computer is the worse the game will perform, the more over Recommended the computer is, the better the game will perform.

    Minimum is lowest possible settings, no of very little DLC. Recommended is medium settings with a few high and all of the DLC. Above recommended is needed for all high settings.

  • @donald8998 If that GPU runs the game at all, it will do a poor job of it. With a Nvidia card, you need to look at the middle number (in this case, a 3), higher numbers are better cards for gaming. Anything under a x60 (or maybe a x50) will do poorly with this game, I'm not sure a x30 will run it at all. 

    I have an i5 - 2500K CPU (@ 3.7 Ghz), it does fine with this game. I used to run it with an old Nvidia GTX 570 (which probably wouldn't cost too much these days), which ran decently at medium/high graphics settings (different settings for different things, I have mods so I had things like meshes turned up to Ultra), though I have 8GB of RAM. 

    If you're trying to decide on a PC build which will run this game, perhaps you should ask for suggestions rather than creating multiple threads asking about specific bits of hardware. 😉 There are a few people on these boards who are very helpful when it comes to such things. 🙂

    Just to be clear, do you have the one from page 2? http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/getpdf.aspx/c04168353.pdf)

    The R7  240 is slower than the minimum, HD 4870. I doubt it will be satisfactory. You might be able to squeeze in the Asus GTX 670 Mini. It's a dual slot card, but it's short and meets the recommended system requirements. This card is in high demand, so it may be difficult to find a website that still has them in stock.

    You may need a new power supply if you upgrade the GPU.

    Yes, of course, same as any desktop n50 past a 450 GTS from nVIDIA should.  Although they aren't as accurate as I might prefer, the comparisons at GPU Boss are comparatively good for what you are doing, and tons faster at getting responses back! 

    Plants vs. Zombies: GW2

    MINIMUM
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit/ Windows 8.1 64-bit/ Windows 10 64-bit
    CPU: 3.20 GHz Intel i5 650/ 2.5 GHz AMD Phenom X4 9850
    RAM: At least 4GB for Windows 7/ Windows 8.1/ Windows 10
    Hard Drive: 20 GB
    Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640/ AMD Radeon HD 5750 (driver conflicts = 7730 instead)
    DirectX: 11
    Input: Keyboard and Mouse, Analogue Controller
    Online Connection Requirements: 192 KBPS or faster internet connection

    Your final comment to your thread was also replied to.   You should not have created a second message thread that is essentially the same subject.  The availability of medium-output power supplies in SFF formats was properly a part of THIS discussion.
