Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Is the game playable on an old PC?

Hello Community,
I want to buy Divinity: Original Sin, but my Computer is quite old, so it only fullfills the minimum system requirements and not the recommended ones. Can anybody tell me, if I can play the game despite that without much lagging and so on?

For comparison:

Minimum:
Intel Core2 Duo E6600 or equivalent
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB)

My PC:
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor
GeForce GT 630

Recommended:
Intel i5 2400 or higher
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 ti 1GB ram

Thank you for your help!

If you think your PC is old, then I don't know what should I think of mine - a "relic" perhaps?

My PC:
AMD Athlon X2 6000+
GeForce GTX 260

Game runs smoothly at 1600x900 and it sets the highest quality video settings when I click the Auto-detect button. Your PC is far stronger than mine so if I have no problems, you won't have any either. Feel free to buy this game, it's worth every little penny.

I'm running the game at lowest detail at 1280x800 at 5-10FPS on 2.53Ghz C2D, Nvida 9400M 256mb, 8GB Ram, 512GB SSD, win 7 64Bit. So I think you'll be fine.

Low detail still looks good, the interface doesn't always register my clicks and companions sometimes glide to catch up at my FPS but as the combat is turn based the low frame rate really isn't an issue. I've put about 50 hours in now since the game release.

I have it running on a 5 year old laptop with integrated graphics and it works no problem. The game has a ton of video settings you can tinker around with as well as the autodetect.

Thank you for the quick replies! So I think I will buy the game very soon .

OMG you play games on 5-10FPS? I salute you mate.

Cheers. I just wanted to play the game that much. It really is playable though.

I also completed Dragon Age: Origins on the same machine (roughly 60 hours, though at the time it was with a 5400 rpm HD, 4GB Ram and Win XP) though the FPS there was in the 8-12fps range. Though I gave up quickly on the expansion as it performed worse. (I have a list of games I own that can't be played till I get a better machine)
