From yesteday I'm finally a PC player of DoA5LR me too! ^^
For useful information to the other users that would like to compare their systems to mine for knowing how the game could work, I share here my specs:
CPU
AMD Phenom II X4 (4 cores) 965 3.4 Ghz
(EDIT: sorry before I missed to wrote the fundamental info of the frequency, my bad!)
RAM
4,00GB Single Channel DDR3 @ 802 MHz
GPU
1024 MBATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
All the settings are the factory ones, cause so far I made no overclock on CPU, GPU or Ram (I wish before to install/purchase new fans on my case). As it's possible to see, this is a PC very far from being one of the last and best models, but even so I can assure that I'm able to play the game in a very great way.
At the best setting possible:
- Full Screen
- Resolution 1920x1080 Res (I can't use the higher one)
- Shadow Resolution 4096x4096
- Antialiasing 4x SSAA
The game runs to me on 45-50 frames: the slowdown is perceptive, but the game is far from appearing lagging or in slow motion, just more slow.
Lowering only the Shadow Resolution to 2048x2048, the game runs for me on 60 stable frames, safe for the Fuel Zone after the activation of the Danger Zone (the most heavy stage for calculations according to Mr. Wah), where the game where the frames appear to be aroung 53-57
Changing again only the Shadow Resolution to the lowest setting 1024x1024, the game runs for me on 60 stable frames on all the stages, included Fuel.
These are a few screenshots coming from the last setting:
