Re: Can my PC run these games? (Sorry for the long post)

As far as interpreting your DXdiag report, (since you aren't using it to diagnose a specific problem) the useful information is found here:

------------------
System Information
------------------
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 16299)

Processor: AMD A12-9700P RADEON R7, 10 COMPUTE CORES 4C+6G (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM (=12GB)

DirectX Version: DirectX 12

 

...


---------------
Display Devices
---------------
Card name: AMD Radeon R7 Graphics

So congratulations!  Presuming you have a game controller (not 100% sure one is required) and enough disk space, your rig definitely meets the minimum specs, which are:

Minimum PC Requirements: 720p 30 FPS at Low Settings

  • O/S: Windows 7 64-bit, 8.1 64-bit or Windows 10 64-bit
  • CPU: Intel core i3-2100T @ 2.5GHz/AMD FX 6100, or better
  • RAM: 8Gb
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650Ti 2GB, AMD Radeon HD 7750 2GB
  • DirectX 11 Compatible video card or equivalent
  • Hard Drive: 25Gb
  • At least one Xbox-compatible/PlayStation-compatible controller
  • Online connection requirements: 256Kbps or faster Internet connection

(I can't say whether it'll play well if you set the graphics above the minimums...)

    I have trouble finding good information about that APU's performance because most benchmarks seem to only want to measure its CPU power. From what I can see it scores significantly lower in the G3D benchmark compared to the minimum Radeon GPU (HD 7750).

    @ThandalNLyman How did you conclude that the integrated R7 is above the minimum spec? From the benchmarks I found, it seems like this APU is slower than the HD7750

    A score of 734 for the A12-9700P compared to 1698 for the HD 7750.

    I'm not very familiar with AMD's APUs (I personally wouldn't play games on integrated graphics), so I could be entirely wrong.

    Good catch!  Based my (admittedly quick) response on this:

    "AMD announced its Radeon R7 260 in December of last year, and we were excited about a $110 Radeon HD 7770 replacement."

    Could we just unban Gorath for a moment? He usually had the right answers to these questions. 😉
