can I run it?

(hamstein) #1

System reqs literally just came out and I’m quite surprised by the demanding reqs.

I have;

Intel Core 2 duo P8400 @ 2.26 2.27 Ghz
4 GB RAM
9800M GTS graphics card
Fear that I couldn’t run this, not even on low.

You will be just fine. I have a similar laptop (Gateway P7811fx).

The 9800M GTS is the desktop equivalent to a 9600GT, which is faster than the 8800GS per the requirements.

Well… if you look at the specs then these are clearly over the minimum ones.
I would understand if you would want to know specifics like fps, quality, resolution… but even with what we don’t acutally know.

The 9600GT is 2/3 the speed of the 8800GS just by spec. Keep that in mind. The minimum spec usually means 30fps average at 1024x768(or less).

I know all my specs are good, except for my terrible processor.

Will my PC Run it ?

Intel Pentium Pro @ 200mhz
32MB Ram
ATI 3D Rage Pro Graphics Card @ 75mhz

I don’t see why not.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Uh…no. All 8800GS were 192-bit 384MB which gave it a terrible bottleneck for modern games. Sure it has more SP than the 9600GT, but the memory limited it greatly.

Per this review: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GeForce_9600_GT_SSC/23.html

8800GS is ~15% slower than the 9600GT.

Do you research next time…

That’s good to Know, I’ll buy the Pentium II Just in Case i need a little more FPS.

See you on the Brink

In fairness, not everybody knows which processors are better than others… it definitely takes some knowledge where some Core 2 Duo’s are on par with something else and blah blah. I’m talking out of my ass really, because I haven’t kept up with any of the latest news, but that didn’t stop me from picking up an i5-2500k today. Stupid friend talked me down from an i7-2600k.

I need to pull an Eric Cartman, and have someone freeze me until it’s May 10th. Of course, I need not be forgotten.

You have understand that performance and clock speeds differ between CPU types…Intel and AMD, Desktop and Laptop CPUs.

Plus, just being 130Mhz is nothing.

Thing is the requirements want a 2.4 Ghz Intel…I have a 2.2, I know it sucks but this is probably the most demanding from a game I’ve seen yet.

overclock it

Yours just might do it, but I have little hope for my

386SX
with a 40MB hard drive
and 4MB RAM
and god knows what kind of POS graphics adapter… :tongue:

(hamstein) #15

All I want to do is run the game smoothly without Jaggies. I’m the kind of guy who is happy with CS:S graphics.
Think I could play smoothly on low?

Or will the game so “Your computer sucks we wont let you even start up the game”? :frowning:

(Nail) #16

game will be playable I think, how well will depend on what you can turn off in console

If any1 wants to upgrade - I have P3 hanging on the wall here :smiley:

I do my research always. :stuck_out_tongue: This game is not texture heavy or texture lookup heavy(by screenshot/video appearances) so in theory, the 9600GT should perform better. Keep in mind, textures are streamed from the HDD and RAM, not the GPU-RAM. The GPU-RAM will only contain the scenes textures which judging by map size, isn’t a whole lot. I generally agree with benchmarks(and I figured that’s what you were looking at) but this game will be very compute heavy so the large number of shader cores should help…but I could be wrong, only play-testing will tell. Most of this theory stems from the limited memory available on the console(256MB). The 9600GT is already outclassing that.

Should be fine.
