Will it run Overwatch?

[Zerotolerance94]

Righto

Sorting out my sisters PC at last but got next to no budget so been looking round on eBay and there's a Sapphire R7 250 2GB going cheap.

Now it's a bog standard office pc that has an i5 2400, 4GB of memory and a 320W PSU

 

So the ultimate question is will it run Overwatch? Even with everything down as low as in say 720P?

 

Cheers guys

Of course it will. Make sure it doesn't need any extra power connectors.

i've got it maxed out on an fx 4320 and it's barely using my rx 480. Should run fine on an i5, but I'd get more ram tbh. And a real PSU

You will get around 40-45 fps at 720p.

To get a new PSU I would have to change out the motherboard and CPU cooler which the budget doesn't permit annoyingly, so GPU is the main thing as it dosent have one and the iGPU is absolutely shocking even for integrated graphics.

 

So the 2gig R7 250 seems my best action

only around 60% GPU usage because of CPU bottleneck in that video so OP should get better FPS with his i5.

I would pick a stronger GPU and avoid certain settings if you are gonna try to max it but if just playing it? Sure it will do that!

That bottleneck can be avoided by reducing lights, shadows and physics and of course the worst sinner ambient occlusion!

Game will be getting set to the lowest of the low to begin with haha, sisters still a kid so she won't care about the eye candy really and only wants the game becuase everyone in school has it.
