(I originally made this thread  in general discussions but moved it here)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

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..

, 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.
