My question is:

Will this config run MWO on almost highest settings (1920x1080 with very high)?

Intel core i5 3570 3,4Ghz
Geforce GTX560
4GB ram( yeah i know, 8GB would be required)

Even tho I wont half of setting put on very high, probably few on high with 1920x1080, will it be able to keep heavy combat on 45+ FPS?

Just curious.

Probably. On my secondary machine with an i7-950, GTX 570, 6GB RAM, it can run everything maxed at 50-60 FPS. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The game tends to be CPU-bound, and that i5-3570 beats my first generation i7 any day of the week.

Im running the same CPU but have it over clocked to 4.0, with a self contained water cooling unit. Game runs amazing, but i guess the 16gigs of ram and ati 7970 help that too... but you should be fine at a lower res.

Well I can get another 2-4GB of RAM its not big deal
Well I wont put everything on very high, like objects and textures will be on very high but I guess that will need RAM, and also I can go with everything on low but I will need 1920x1080, FPS is what I need, graphic is not really important, Im just asking because FPS, I guess it will go over 50 with everything low

Thanks

Cico, hunt around in the support section a little more...there are suggested tweaks(dev suggested) to individual settings that should allow your setup to run almost everything on med-high, maybe textures higher...and still run very well.

For reference, I also have i5-3570, although with a GTX760 and 12 gigs of RAM on 1680x1050 resolution. With everything set to very high and AA off the game runs nicely, dips to around 45 FPS occasionally, but stays in the 50-60 region most of the time.

Bear in mind that MSI Afterburner does report that my GPU utilization goes all the way to 100%, and my card is slightly overclocked.

I loaded up Crimson Straight in Testing Grounds, everything at Very High, 60 FPS, and Task Manager said this:

So just under 1GB of memory usage. You should be fine. It's a 32 bit program anyway, incapable of using more than 3GB of RAM concurrently (4GB on a 64 bit OS).

Cico, get yourself the latest nVidia beta drivers, apparently they help out performance quite a bit

Thats the easy part

The main part I stuck on is BIOS
I have Asrock H61M-VS which is sandy bridge motherboard, this CPU is Ivy Bridge, so I need to make BIOS update for Ivy bridge support and yes my motherboard support i5 3570
I will google it, but if someone knows how to make it work on my MBO and all stuffs I need, please do it, thanks.
