Wow, reqs on these PC Games being released lately getting alot higher.

EchoSex · Feb 04, 2006, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Actually, concidering what it is... That ain't bad at all. The recommended CPU power surprises me, as well as memory. The Graphics Card is what I expect - exactly why I spent all that cash on SLI. I can be ready for anything withen the next few years.

PieXags · Feb 05, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Those are actually a little bit lower than I expected. I'm good to go.

chris_nin00 · Feb 05, 2006, 12:37 AM // 00:37

I was expecting a lot more than that,

Also I'm probably getting a new graphics card to replace my x700 pro when my birthday rolls around. So I'll be set.

<---Preorder.

Mathias Deathwater · Feb 05, 2006, 04:52 AM // 04:52

Gah, looks like I'll have to get a new computer that actually has a motherboard worth talking about... Stupid pre-made pieces of crap whose motherboards only have pci slots...

Mr.Style · Feb 05, 2006, 04:58 AM // 04:58

Awesome, I just built myself a new computer, and I am good to go in all of the categories (under recommended). In fact, it looks as if I won't have to upgrade for a couple years now. That is good news for me.

Saba The Hobo · Feb 05, 2006, 05:32 AM // 05:32

Hmm, just have to up my processor and I'm good to go. Surprising really, as this game looks to have wicked graphics.

BBoy_Manchild · Feb 05, 2006, 05:41 AM // 05:41

3 gig processor and 1 gig ram isnt that bad of a requirement, you can get those kinda cheap these days, have you seen the SS and vids of that game, those being the requirements seem kinda low to me, especially the 1 gig ram i had that like 7 years ago

Kaguya · Feb 05, 2006, 08:12 AM // 08:12

It could be like F.E.A.R was...

FEAR actually has the exact same recommended system, except one notch slower vidcard, and anyone who has played it, know how much details can be pumped up on the recommended system.

Will see, will see.

fallot · Feb 05, 2006, 08:18 AM // 08:18

I'm surprised the minimum requirements are so low. It seems I wont have to buy a new rig to play this game after all.

Wrath Of Dragons · Feb 05, 2006, 08:20 AM // 08:20

wow only 2ghz on a minimum? i was expecting atleast 2.6. from what iv seen on xbox demos looks reeel processor-heavy. im impresed
question: ati 200m (laptop vid card) whats that equivelant to in the x series?
and its 128 dedicated vram

Lasher Dragon · Feb 05, 2006, 10:18 AM // 10:18

I have my minimum requirements...

Xbox 360
High Definition DLP projector
Surround Sound System
Room to lock myself in for a few months

BBoy_Manchild · Feb 05, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

id prefer to play it on the computer, after i get bored with the normal game there will be millions of player made patches to keep me entertained for a few months more

Exactly, this is the only reason Morrowind lasted so long on my comp. The mod community is what makes games like this shine.

Hey, cool, thats low...cant wait

Siliconwafer · Feb 05, 2006, 12:20 PM // 12:20

Well, I was going to get it anyway, even if I had to play it on miniumum or below. Good to know that I'll get a respectable framerate.

This is why in these forums at Guru and elsewhere I have been saying that 1Gb in ram now a days is the new minimum. 2Gb is optimum. I am glad to see that gaming is now taking on the CPU as well. It is not all pretty pictures...it has some number crunching to do...

EDIT: Say what is the URL of the site that tells you how much Min & Reconmended systems spec you have for games? I got that here on the Guru once and thought I bookmarked it.

Omega_2005 · Feb 05, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Ouch, colossal requirements but I'll be able to use it on the desktop computer with ease
