Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 3

I cant wait to play that game ._.
Still a bit worried about the system requirements though. Maybe i should forget playing it now. My computer is too bad for it.

For those with AMD CPUs - I'm curious which AMD CPUs are equivalent to the Intel i5 and i7. Support is mentioned regarding the main competing graphics chipsets by nVidia and ATI, so why no mention of which AMD CPUs meet the minimum and recommended specs?

Well it depends if it makes good use of multi threading then a lower end AMD cpu can do good if not the you want to have Deneb/thuban or bulldozer/piledriver based chips.
There is no equiv since the i5/i7 range goes back to nehalem > westermere > sandy bridge > ivy bridge > haswel

It will probably be well threaded and run mostly of the gpu so as long as the gpu is good you'll be fine.

I have an AMD 4core (forgot name, something menacing-sounding) and a Geforce 9600 Pro (1Gb videomemory). Will that be fast enough to play on good settings? TTD works fine.

AMD 4core if this means you have a first gen phenom then you're screwed since these were bad real bad.
Since TDD ran fine this is probably not the case can you run DXDIAG for us or device manager to check?

9600 is about 80% of a gts8800 depending on clocks of course it should be fine just don't use too much AA.

What reso is your monitor.

These comparison charts for Intel vs AMD processors might help:

Worst benchmark available really.
Though the database is huge it isn't accurate and the numbers tell only half the story.
