This is easily THE best looking sports game, and the in-game visuals are exactly the same with those you witnessed in the pre-release screenshots. A Titan or a 780Ti would be ideal for such scenarios. Those wishing to play NBA 2K15 at 4K resolutions, however, will obviously need a better graphics card.
In short – and for a 1080p resolution – a single GTX680 is more than enough for this game. To our surprise, there were some drops to 50fps during cut-scenes, though we do have to make it crystal clear that while gaming our framerate did not drop below 70fps. Given the fact that there isn’t any SLI profile, our GTX690 performed similarly to a GTX680. As per the game’s requirements, an Intel i5 is recommended and thanks to its Hyper-Threading capabilities, this dual-core CPU is able to push constant 60fps (excluding in-game cut-scenes) with all graphical settings enabled.Īlthough NBA 2K15 is easy on its CPU requirements, it requires a really high-end GPU to shine (especially if you are going to push AA at its maximum values).
NBA 2K15 ran mostly with 50-60fps (even though there were some drops to 30fps, especially during the in-game cut-scenes). While simulating a dual-core processor, we managed to run the game with all its bells and whistles enabled. The game appears to be mainly single-threaded, which means that those with older CPUs may encounter minor performance issues. As we can see, NBA 2K15 scales well on hexacore CPUs. And to its credit, NBA 2K15 is quite playable on such an old system (provided of course you are not GPU limited). According to 2K Games, players will need at least a Core2Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. Quite surprisingly, NBA 2K15’s official PC requirements are spot on. And since NBA 2K14 still lacks an official SLI profile, we can kiss goodbye to a proper profile for NBA 2K15. Unfortunately, the green team has not included any SLI profile for NBA 2K15, and we could not find a way to enable it.
NBA 2K15 PC is similar to the current-gen console version, which is precisely why we decided to do a Performance Analysis.Īs always, we used an Intel i7 4930K with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX690, Windows 8.1 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce drivers. 2K Games and CD Media were kind enough to provide us with a review code for NBA 2K15, so it’s time to see how this sports game performs on the PC platform.
