Nice conclusion. Then GTX 650 better than GTX 580 :mrgreen:


750 is better than a 690 because the Number is higher. For that Reason I still use my 9800GTX+ because thats the highest Number :cheeky:

Way too much speculation here, the Game could be terribly optimized and it runs like Watch_Dogs or GTA4. It probably won't but no one can tell you exactly how it will run on your System before the Game is out.

Well, according to the minimum requirements (if they are real), with the optimization should be all right.

I'm really starting to think my i7 might be slightly out of date for 2K15 but I could be wrong.

Any I7 is enough to play with max settings..
Looks like you are showing off with this build lol, if you don't know what your comp can handle or not that's sad xD

Not showing off at all...I know what it can handle but eventually this i7 will be out of date and I have had it for 2 Years but other than that I know it can handle anything I bought the 770 for a reason but I still know my i7 will probably have to be updated soon.

I have a i5-3570k 3.40 g hz with a GTX 660 TI OC 2Gb and still able to run most games max settings so I don't think you have to worry ^^ If i have to upgrade something that's my GPU, CPU still doing his job


GloryD, you need to overclock that i7-2600K you have, since what is the point of having an unlocked processor with no overclock? :D Overlocking is no nuclear science on ivy bridge/sandy bridge/haswell cpu’s. Now all you have to do is play around with dram frequency (timings can be set to auto and adjusted after you get stable cpu/ram settings frequency wise), dram voltage, cpu voltage and cpu multiplier and you are done.
Any decent sandy bridge/ivy bridge cpu is still enough to play games at max, so unless you need for something more/else besides gaming, for example, video editing, there’s no point of upgrading. At least I will not upgrade my i5-3570k (overclocked to 4,6ghz with 1,18vcore (cooled by Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with a single scythe slipstream 120mm case fan (800rpm,40,17cfm, 10,7dba)) at least one more cycle of new intel cpu’s, considering how costly would it be to upgrade cpu/mobo/ram (ddr4) all at once and I would do the same even in case if I had ivy bridge cpu (2500k/2600k).

Hadley88,
GTA 4 was probably the worst optimized game for PC (one of many bad ports from xbox 360/ps3 to PC), but considering that PS4/Xbone has the same cpu architecture as PC does, I do not believe optimization will be an issue for newer games that are made for PS4/Xbone/PC. Now that the cpu architecture is the same for pc/xbone/ps4, porting should be no issue - no need to recompile the game so it would run on different hardware.

As for Watch Dogs - it seems that the game was initially made for xbox 360/ps3 and then got ported PS4/Xbone/PC, considering how bad the optimization is. It's no next gen whatsoever :D

Don't do it if you don't know how to, you have an I7 and that's what they are asking for in recommanded so you are good, no need to mess with your CPU

I also just saw you have to wipe your windows and reinstall so I already don't want to do it.

Even if you're unsure about overclocking, it's an interesting thing to read about.

First of all, anybody who did some overclocking on their own will tell you that there are no same CPUs or MoBos. Even if it's same model, the results can vary (a lot) - every piece of hardware is different.
Second, if you're to overclock, you should take care of your PC - dust decreases effectivity of cooling and same goes for old thermal compound.
And finally be careful. You don't have to (and shouldn't) overclock by (something like) 15% on the first try. It's actually a fine tuning process. You can find what your CPU should be able to handle easily and go from there until you're satisfied or you reach CPU's limit. Just go slow and test a lot for stability. If testing returns mistakes, go back. Unstable overclock is useless.

Now some reading about overclocking your sandy bridge:

Remember, you don't have to try to go for that amazing 5.2GHz result.

Re: NBA 2K15 PC specifications released!

Fri Aug 29, 2014 7:49 am

The way I will take this into consideration is if it benefits me long term I mean it is built to be overclocked but
1: My lack of experience doing so
2: Possible permanent damage in the long run or the life span of it

I hope most people here realize that these specs are almost certainly a placeholder (and are also incredible ambiguous).
Until we get information from the horses mouth I would simply gauge the (possible) min and recommend specs from other XB1/PS4 to PC ports.

2K Sports has posted links to the Steam page on their social media, specifically mentioning the addition of the system requirements. They have been confirmed.

Can i run the game if i have an AMD processor? or do i have to have an intel processor???

Yes, you can run it, so long as your processor is the AMD equivalent of the Intel specs listed.

(Y) actually I wanted to post the same guide for SB overclocking.
GloryD, the only reason I suggested you to try it because you own a "K" processor, which essentially means that your processor has unlocked multiplier. I am pretty sure you will be able to run this game @max even with no overclock whatsoever. It's just a pity that you have paid for the "K" and you are not exploring it :cool: . It breaks an overclockers heart to see "K" processor at stock speeds :D. From what I have experienced (I have owned couple 2500k's, and one 2600k, while looking for the one which would be 4,4-4,5 ghz stable) and all of them were stable on stock voltage @4,0ghz with stock cooler. Going any higher will require you to change the default cooler and apply effective thermal compound. I use OCCT and intel burn test tool to test the stability of the cpu. Considering your lack of experience in this matter, I would simply give it a try by enabling OC mode in the bios and changing the multiplier so that you get 4,0ghz.
As I said starting with sandy bridge cpu's overclocking got much more easier in comparison how to tricky was it to overclock processors like AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 939), which was my first overclocking experience and ever-since I have always overclocked my cpu's. Never ever I had a situation where a cpu was burned down due to overclock. My current 3570k been running @4,6ghz (cooled by Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme) for almost three years with no issues whatsoever. Actually the only way I know how to "kill" sandy/ivy bridge cpu is by messing (not knowing the limit) with PLL voltage :cool: , so leave at auto at all times. I for instance was able to reach 4,6ghz stable on my i5 3570k thanks to lowering auto pll voltage (auto set it to 1,8v and mine is running stable at 1,55v with cpu voltage set at 1,18v), but you do not need to hit the max possible, considering that you are unlikely be willing to replace the cooler of your cpu.

1. Read the mentioned guide in detail;
2. Then boot into bios;
3. Save current bios settings;
4. Set the OC option to Manual;
5. Find multiplier and BLCK options (set it to x40 and 100 respectivelly);
6. Save the settings and reboot;
7. If it boots successfully test cpu stability with the mentioned software in windows.
8. If it fails to boot – restart, boot into bios and reload the default settings you had from the bios and you are back were you started.

Yeah, a lot of times, it does. But if you look at 2K's official requirements (a 512 MB GPU with DX 10.1 support), graphic cards like this start right around the 8600 GT area.
