I have an rx 470 in my 'rig'

but the cpu and mobo are pretty old with an fm2+ motherboard and a 5800k (that is veryy slow )

will this system run overwatch?Most websited say yes 100% because the bottleneck is not taken into account

will it run in a playable framerate at 1080p? high low settings?any clues?

Simply put, yes. It will run at med-high settings. Overwatch isnt demanding at all

You just might not be able to push past high framrates

You might want to consider upgrading to an A10-7860k and overclocking it. For the GPU, I don't think the RX470 will cut it. I would personally go to nvidia, but I know I'm going to start a flamewar if I go any further.

Yeah...don't 'upgrade' to fx when its about the same to upgrade to ryzen

🙂

You will definitely get over 30. My friend's 750ti is gets about 60 on medium settings, so you'l be good

I think you're just completely wrong. Flame war or not, how could an RX 470 not cut it?

http://www.techspot.com/review/1220-amd-radeon-rx-470/page2.html

If you're too lazy to click the link, it gets over 100fps average in Overwatch at 1080p Ultra.

qυoтe мe pleaѕe!

Me at the Apple store: "So how fast is this little macbook?"

Apple employee: "Cheetah Fast. Lightning Fast. It's Really, really, fast."

Maybe I'm completely wrong about AMD and their cards are great. At least I would think that if my GTX 960 4GB SSC didn't get consistently into the 160s in overwatch.

750Ti is very similar to a 960m and I was able to run 60 constant (capped) at 1080p High on my 960m.

Depending on the 750Ti, it could more than likely go even higher than medium at 60fps :)

Hers is a pre built, IIRC it's not a very "high end" 750ti

No, we're not talking about Nvidia. Or anything like that. OP has an RX470 that will run 100fps at ultra. I don't care what gpu you run unless it's relevant to this thread.

 

Hint: It's not.

Yeah, and I'm throwing in my 2 cents about nVidia cards.
