PC Beta starts August 28th.
Also, Iron Banner Control is next week, and Clans are going to need be moved over. Speak with your nearest clan leader about reserving yourself a spot in the D2 clan. :P

Let me know how it goes. I have 2 trashcans I could try it on.

PC min specs are pretty mild. My Midrange circa 2013 build clears the min specs easily

My cheap build from two years ago does not.

But I completely expect that it does, considering I can run every single modern title I've tried just fine.

What CPU/GPU combo? I'm running a I5 3570k and AT I7870xt with 8gb ram

AMD Athlon 760k and Nvidia 750 Ti.

My mid-range 2012 build nearly makes it, need +1G VRAM

I just need +1GB VRAM. Maybe I'll drop a couple Benjamins & get a better GPU if I decide to play on the PC (tho' I could squeak by with a 1050 for $100 less... Hmm).

So, this might be a dumb question, but how do you know how your graphics card measures to the minimum? In the tower, I've got a Radeon 7950 with 3GB VRAM.

The listed min is a 7850 with 2 gb of vram. Yours is about 25 to 50 percent more powerful. (I have a similar flu with less vram)
There's some sites out there that can say if your rig can run it.

Ok thanks!

GPU Boss so far has been somewhat reliable when gauging recommend specs that now use newer models than mine.

Btw, scroll. The real comparisons are below

Man, I'm above the recommended specs for CPU, but I don't think I even meet the minimum specs for GPU. My cheapo GT 710 2GB just won't cut it.

Try the demo when it releases. Who knows?
by Funkmon , Monday, July 31, 2017, 01:02 (2760 days ago) @ DiscipleN2k
You can probably run it at some kind of SD resolution at 25fps with some settings off.
I bet it's fine.

I'll probably give it a go, just to say I did. I'm not expecting much, though.

Don't worry -- we're figuring out the best structure and putting plans into motion. Stay tuned to the forums in about a week and a half or two.
Thanks!

I'll use a beta code if an extra is lying around... ;)
by slycrel , Friday, July 28, 2017, 21:16 (2762 days ago) @ Korny
I have one of those newfangled iMacs they announced at WWDC this year. (Not the iMac Pro, the baby one that can do VR here soon)
I can't justify buying Destiny twice, but I'd be happy to report on performance if someone has an extra code. =)

You don't need one if you don't mind waiting a day

The pre-order code gets you early access on the 28th; the open Beta starts a day later.

^This is my plan.

Pre-loading?
by marmot 1333 , Monday, July 31, 2017, 09:55 (2760 days ago) @ dogcow
I've never used any modern Blizzard installer, is there a way one could pre-load the Destiny 2 Beta on PC?
