NBA 2K15 System Requirements Revealed For PC Users, Will Cost $59.99

It really seems like Nvidia cards are having a lot more issues than AMD. How has the game been running for some of you guys with mid range - mid-high AMD cards?

I feel pretty lucky but I definitely feel for you guys who's games are running too choppy to be fully playable.

7950 here and it runs pretty good on my system. Like I said earlier I experience the lowered fps during the cutscenes but its not that big a deal to me, plus it's been even less noticeable since I set it to run as administrator. I average around 120 FPS(goes to around 60 during cutscenes) during gameplay using the 2K cam. Max settings except for AA which I enable through CCC. Gonna try going back to ingame AA though because I'm noticing more jaggies than I'd like.


I did have a crashing problem early on that got fixed after updating my drivers.

I also noticed the game is much smoother downsampled from 1440p with minimal AA rather than 1080p with 4x AA.

Seems 2K's AA solution is kind of borked.

I didnt buy the game to run smooth on minimum settings, I bought it to run close to/ if not maximum settings. I dont think its the cpu, I think thats more than capable, no other issues with other games running on max settings. only thing I can think of is the video card not being 2gb of memory. but I also doubt that. any help on settings would be appreciated.

That video card is really weak.

Sorry to break it to you, but you don't have a powerful computer. Your video card is very very low end. I have my doubts you're maxing out much of anything to be honest with you. Your card is old and was low end when it came out.

Intel Core2Duo (quite dated, I know )
4Gb RAM
Nvidia GTX 660

The game is playable but not smooth on
1920x1280
no FSAA
max texture resolution
max player details
low audience details
no special effects
shader level high

The game runs perfectly in team scrimmage, i.e. without the audience and additional lighting effects. During an actual game the framerate is kind of low, though. I didn't measure it but it must be around 20fps or so from the looks of it.

The worst performance drops I get is when the cheerleaders are displayed, I suppose that due to the wild camera swings, a lot of objects come into view that are not cached in video memory or so and have to be reloaded which causes the lags.

I will have to find out what settings I can lower to get a smoothly running game without making me cringe due to bad graphics.

I also tried to go back to 2k14 and it even looks really beautiful on max details running perfectly smooth, but it really plays like last gen :/

I have a 290 @ 1440p, during gameplay I get a constant 60 fps. I've never experienced the stuttering that some people are getting.

What's the rest of your PC ? On what kind of settings do you play ?
