Will My Pc Run TESO Well?

[Irishman]

1st of all, I am not a big computer nerd and I scrape through with only knowing the basics. I have a computer that I'm hoping will support the TESO game and run it without too many issues. I may need a graphics card upgrade (or wateva you call it) but I'm hoping my processor is good enough not to make me wanna shoot my Pc after 30minutes of online gaming.

My fear is that I fork out the $100+ for the game, subscribe to it, get really excited and than realize that I really should have invested more into the Pc OR just buy a Ps4 (which is a very real possibility).

My Pc Specs (please just ask if its not detailed enough..or just plain wrong and I will post more info If I can find it):

Windows Vista Home Edition
Processor - Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E1400 @ 2.00 GHz
Memory (RAM) - 2.00GB
System Type - 32-bit Operating System

Thank You

You really should invest more in a PC, or buy a PS4. If you were to buy upgrades for your PC, what would your budget be?

 

[Irishman]

If I have to spend more than $200-$300 than I'll just get a ps4... I had my doubts that this Pc would be any good for games.

you coul play eso perfectly on minimum or low preferably minimum low may give you some lag

Your talking about resolution?

no I know the PC specs required to play the game don't worry they are not as great as skyrims

playing ESO on minium settings is what someone would call staring at a screen drunk or tired that's what the game will look like on those settings but it is playable you might need a bit more RAM though at least double what it has currently also you would probably need to play on a lower then default resolution

 

[Irishman]

Hmmm I shall look into getting a graphics card and more RAM. Im gonna be drunk playing it so it will look really bad if I lower the settings

 

[tx12001]

ever watched a real old TV show that is in 240p or something well that's what you can suspect to witness on miniumun settings

As far as I'm concerned, no one can tell you yes or no because you didn't offer your GPU, so please explain what GPU you have.

That being said, your dualcore is somewhat old, and 2GB RAM is barely enough for an OS (especially with Vista) without a game on top of it. I wouldn't hold your breath.

ESO is unbelievable resource hoggy. With everything on Ultra, I expect my system to get more than ~32FPS. There are lots of settings, so you can change them around to get more frames, but you may have some playability issues.

GPU? were do i find that and... what is it? haha

I think imma just get a Ps4 though. I dont have high hopes for the old 'puter

 

[ShenziSixaxis]

GPU = Graphic Processing Unit. It's what handles... the graphics. e.g. it's probably the most important part of your computer if you plan on playing any games.

Yeah I'd have to agree with everyone on here. If you are trying to run anything like this on PC it's probably not going to be worth it without going (in my estimation) up to at least a Phenom II processor at > 2.5GHz or comparable/greater Intel processor, either 4 or 6 core, at least the GTX620 level of graphics, and 4 preferably 6GB RAM. That ought to get you good not great performance with a medium-high level of detail on most games.

Anything above that in any area, but preferably in CPU and GPU for Elder Scrolls, will yield just that much more performance at a given level of detail. If this is too expensive then your best bet is probably going to be a console.

Yeah, Imma get a ps4 methinks Thankyou guys!!
