StormySkies Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (I originally made this thread in general discussions but moved it here) I know, I read the minimum hardware requirements, and I know it TECHNICALLY can handle the wireless adapter, However, I've been hearing people say that i5 CPU's (new and old) in general have difficulties running the wireless application smoothly. So, before I go dropping 300 dollars on this amazing product, I would like to know if my CPU would be able to even handle the darn thing without any graphical issues, in the first place. Specs: GTX 1070ti Intel core i5 4690k (no oc) 16 gigs of ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanityassassin Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 It doesnt really handle the adapter very well. I have the same specs as you and My CPU was pinging at 100% load once you turn on wireless and most games are just unplayable with lots of frame drops and video quality popping in and out. It wasnt a very fun experience.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 , while that CPU is the hardware minimum, various apps will have additional overhead that will impact your performance. I would not recommend purchasing the unit with min spec hardware given the field reports from other users, especially if you play demanding titles.

StormySkies Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 What cpu would you recommend? Do you think the "i7" version of my cpu could handle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirak Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I have a i5 4690 and a 1070, and it works fine with a game like Pavlov. I have to try more demending games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 - That's probably okay for most demanding apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
