Hi all, first post so be gentle :)

The recommended specs call for a quad core processor, anyone know if the game is playable on an AMD A6-6420K 4.0GHz Dual-Core Processor?

Full spec of the PC is :-

AMD A6-6420K 4.0GHz Dual-Core Processor with Radeon HD 8000 Series integrated graphics and 8GB Ram 2133mhz

Appreciate any advice folks :)

You'll not get the full graphics experience but it will play on your PC with minimum graphics settings. I do a fair bit of exploring but as my main PC is connected to the TV I do my exploring on the laptop (so I can watch TV in the background). The spec is an AMD A4-3300m 2,5ghz dual core with HD6480G graphics. On low settings I get a steady 50fps in space dropping to around 20 in stations. There is the odd lag jumping between systems etc but I would put this down to lack of ram and poor hard drive.

The laptop does ok for exploring or trading. In combat at a RES for example its a bit of a struggle dropping to around 15-20fps.

I've got a quad-core 2.9GHz and a NVidia GTX 550 Ti and it runs fine with "high" settings on most everything. Looks good enough for me, and no noticeable lag (so far, haven't been in any huge battles yet).

Just posting this in case anyone else finds this thread. There are quite a few people running Elite: Dangerous on a dual core system me included - a E8600 core2duo 3.0 ghz with a reasonable graphics card 560gtx Ti - I think I am correct in saying that how good it runs is mostly based on the graphics card?

I'm even running it under Vista 64 - the minimum specs where based on the computers that Frontier have so there is some lee-way.

Similar here.
Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0GHz, 4GB DDR2, GTX760, and I'm able to play on full graphics at 1920x1080 with vsync 60fps in quiet areas, dropping to perhaps 40-50fps in busier areas. I still get some stutter occasionally as I approach planets, but I generally have a smooth experience.

E6700 2.66ghz core2duo with 2.5 gigs of ram and the best part a gt 730 1gb (gddr5) graphics card.

30-50fps at 1280x1024. Drops to 15-20 in a really busy station or super cruise but I tend to avoid popular destinations so I'm fine.

Translation : the current game is 100% playable on a machine much lower than official minimum specs.
