Post your PC specs here - Reference in first post

Dee4Three have you tried disabling high definition audio via device manager yet? That's what worked for me

Anyway here's mine..

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Processor: Intel i5 , 750 @ 2.66 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4850, 512 MB

It's obviously not a setup that's gonna allow me to max out, but i'm just happy i can even run the game. I'll probably get more time in with MyGM mode anyway. At any rate, the game runs reasonably smooth for me when i do the following things: Display resolution: 1920x1080 (this is MUCH smoother than my usual 2560x1440 for whatever reason), windows mode: on, Antialiasing level: 2, Vsync: off, Aspect ratio correction: on, Texture detail level: medium, Player detail level: high (can't bring myself to lower it!), crowd detail level: low, special effects: off , shader detail level: low

Hey Nick,

Thanks for the tip. I tried it, and no change at all. Exactly the same as before. I guess I don't get it, I see people with less of a rig running this on medium to high settings. And if I can run NBA 2l14 on the HIGHEST, with all the bells and whistles, with FXAA etc etc etc. Why can I not run this at a decent quality? I DO use radeon pro to get my FPS 60 on 2k14 (setting vsync to Dynamic and at 60hz). But still..... Im willing to buy a graphice car for $250 or less, but would that fix the problem? I have one PCI slot I can use

Maybe try playing around with your resolution settings then. That made a big difference for me.

Found a 770 for 209 bucks and I can vouch for the seller since I bought mines from the same place.

Tried that as well.... at a loss.... not a huge deal because of NBA 2k14... but still :/

Windows 7 64bit
i5-3470
8 gb ram
i have over recommended in all specs beside the graphic card so im buying a new one...
will GeForce 730m 2GB will be enouge for mid-high settings?
i dont care about resoultion i just care about other settings

Probably minimum settings.

Probably low settings.

no way i am running it with low setting with amd radeon 5450 -.-

Probably low settings.

no way i am running it with low setting with amd radeon 5450 -.-

So buy the game and try it if you think so.

A GT 730 is a low end card, dude. You're gonna have to pony up more coin to play this game at medium at any enjoyable framerate, and certainly high.

GUY_PNINI, well now u should believe me right?

Probably low settings.

no way i am running it with low setting with amd radeon 5450 -.-

Know how i know that's bullshit?

I tried running 2k13 on my old Radeon 6450 and i couldn't even get 20fps on low.

you want a vid? lol i am runing it with mine right now on low settings 50 fps...
anyway can anyone suggest me the minimum graphic card i need to run this game on mid-high?

GUY_PNINI, mid and high i think no1 can. Lets say it like this. U want full experience with next gen? and we talk about laptop? from my point of view and what i know it must be 770M or something similar and still u will meet some problems, like fps drop in cutscenes. I think many users will agree with me. But in overall u will be happy.
If we talk about medium, completly non next gen graphical experience IMO ofc. U will have to reach for card like mine, so its 570M or higher. From newest card it can be 850-860M but im not sure.
Or you ask about desktop GPU? if yes let me know i can help you with this.

not really posting my specs but no sure what thread to ask this but..

im thinking of upgrading from a very old amd athlon dual core. can this new setup run the game smoothly at max settings?

I3 3240 3.4ghz
radeon hd 5770 1g gddr5
4G 1333mhz ram

Low end rig
Processor: Intel I5/I3 (lower end models)
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 460 series/560 or lower GTX 750 Ti or lower (or comparable); Radenoen HD 7700/R9-270 or lower
Ram: 4-6 GB
Video settings: med-max
Status 30-50fps on max should get solid 60 fps with certain camera's on med


I have a Radeon HD 7770 1GB GHz Edition and I can run every game I have come across at medium to high settings. I also have a AMD FX-6300, 8GB GSkill Ripjaw X series RAM 1333. So, I wouldn't classify the 7700 series as being a part of "low end".

for sure not high, med+turn off special effects.

Here are my specs, and a few questions for anyone who can tell me what settings are best. I believe I am running the game at full max, but some things I am unsure of...

GeForce GTX 660
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
8.00 GB RAM

Here are the Video Settings I run, and some of the other options... please tell me if something I don't have selected is better and I should switch... Again, the game runs smooth as eggs on these settings with no stutter or anything...

Resolution - 1920x1080(16:9)
Refresh Rate - 59.9Hz (also available... 24.0Hz, 30.0Hz)
Antialiasing Level - 8 (also available... 2, 4)
Antialiasing Quality - 32 (also available... 8)
Vertical Sync - On
Aspect Ratio Correction - On
Texture, Player, Crowd Detail Level - All High
Special Effects - On
Shader Detail Level - High

Like I said, I think I've chosen all the max options, but in case I haven't, let me know. Thanks.

The Openingpost is pretty stupid. You say a GTX 680 is high end but a GTX770 is midrange? A 770 is just a newer version of a 680...

@bigh0rt
24Hz? Is that a joke?

The OP clearly states that if he missed anything, to give him a heads up. No need to be a dick about it.

@bigh0rt

As I said, being shitty gets you no where. Learn to play nice, or play somewhere else.

Any of you looking into getting a Gaming Laptop wait a little more for the GTX 980M and 970M to be available from many more brands. They are the fastest and second fastest single mobile gpu and they look really awesome.

@homicide1550 - I don't think so with Max Settings.
@GUY_PNINI - With a mobile 5450, only minimum settings. With a desktop GPU I still think on low settings. I began PC gaming with a 3450 years ago but a Radeon X450 is nowhere close to being called a gaming video card. I would understand a 5650 doing decent performance at lower resolutions, but a 5450?

I don't think a GT 730 will be enough for Mid-High honestly. I would say a GT X50 is the entry level GPU for mobile gaming. Anything lower is like a low profile HTPC video card.

.:edit:.

@OP

Just a few things you should know. GTX 770 is actually better than the GTX 680, so it should be in the highest level rig.

The GTX 750 Ti is in a weird position because it is comparable with a GTX 480 and even better sometimes.

The R9-270X and R9-270 are too close for the R9-270 to be in the Low-End Rig while the 270X is in the Mid-End Rig. Both are basically an HD 7870 and the only difference is clock speeds. Additionally you put the 7850 in the Mid-End Rig but that is slower than a R9-270. The 7850 equivalent card is the R7-265.

I also think you mean GT 520 instead of GTX which is for their higher end Gaming GPUs. Also it's a R7-250 instead of R9 as the R9 is AMD's higher end hardware. A GT 520 is pretty slow. A comparative NVIDIA GPU to compare with a R7-250 would be a GT 640.

Generally I think a i5, no matter how old, will be better than any of AMD's Phenom/Athlon CPUs (maybe even their Phenom II X6s). I would think of putting AMD's Athlon line in the low-end rig specs.

Fixing these in the your initial post will be more helpful for people.

Processor:I7-3770k
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX660

Settings: Max (8x AA w/ Quality 32, Special Effects on, Textures and other stuff on high)

xEvanGz, have you stable 60fps through whole gameplay? with cutscenes? and whats your reso?

Are you running on a crt?
You have it maxed out in-game, just take a look inside nVidia control panel, go to manage 3d settings and make sure you aren't forcing 2k15 some lower settings.
You might alsonuse that to tweak it a bit (turn on a triple buffering, ...)

AMD Phenom II
AMD Radeon 7870 LE

All maxed except AA.
Getting microstutters.
