Efu: I have a 2013 end macbook with an Intel Iris GPU.
I was wondering whether any of you can comment on the game's performance on a similar setup - as I'm hesitating between getting this, a PC or the PS4 version.
For the record I don't mind modest (but not ugly) graphics without the fanciest special effects as long as the framerate is okay (~30).
I just tested the character creation & tutorial and first area of the game on a 2015 fanless mini PC with i7-5500U.
The game was entirely playable (with AA, vsync, and dynamic cloth disabled) at 1920x1200, mostly thanks to the mouse cursor remaining highly responsive even when the rest of the screen updates slower. Yes, the rest were quite slow to render. I didn't see a framerate counter anywhere, but something like 20 fps would be my first guess. Dropping the resolution to 720p made it all more than smooth enough, at the expense of obviously degraded visual quality. (Made worse by the fact that the game does not retain the aspect ratio, unfortunately).
I don't know whether these areas are representative of the rest of the game, but I'd say it's totally playable, and yet suboptimal, unless you're ok with dropping the resolution.
As far as I understand, the Iris GPUs should be a bit faster than the one integrated in my 5500U. But I can't tell by how much. If my 20fps guesstimate is right, then the Iris' extra performance along with a slightly lowered resolution (1920x1080 maybe?) could very well be enough to take it the 30 frames per second you're aiming for. There is one way to find out.
