I own an old Asus G73JH and game this on the laptop. (Radeon 5870 Mobile + Intel I7-720qm with 1.6 GHz base clock) I had to reduce the resolution to a measly 720p to play it with an acceptable FPS (>25 in most scenes). This game is quite a bit CPU bound. First I had all graphic settings on Low and got around 29 FPS in the benchmark. Then I switched the graphic settings to medium and I still had some 27-28 FPS in the benchmark. @Hilbert, could you do a quick benchmark with the cpu underclocked? 🙂 Would be great if you could make a cpu-clock scaling benchmark?

Stopped playing Inq.. Gonna wait for a patch or another driver, tearing at 60less FPS during combat is annoying

Impressive 290x can hold up to 980 GTX on par. Looks like I won't be upgrading anytime soon.

Yes, huge surprise that "Mantle: the game" runs well on AMD. 🤓

Wow, very demanding! I'll have to turn down a couple settings, run my HD 7850 at 1200/1500, and hope for the best. I just can't upgrade GPU this year, but if I could it would be for the GTX 970.

I'm now 65 hrs into the game and only had a very few crashes. All crashes only happened when I had GPU-Z open to monitor my GPU in the background. Also Patch2 was released this week, it happens some performance issues and it's more fluid on my old machine now.

The Dragon Age Inquisition patch 2 release notes mention: [PC] Made some changes that should improve Mantle performance Any chance of an update to the article to confirm if this made any noticeable difference?
