Pc specs

(SCi-Fi) #1

Is there any PC specs cos i want to wind up the GRAW ppl who have to buy new pcs for a garbbage game :bash: hahahaha

Devs say they’re the same as D3.

(SniperSteve) #3

Yep, If you can play with decent framerates on D3 you should be able to play ET:QW

So if they are on budged this would be a great deal: AMD AThlon 64 3200+ (3000 isnt made anymore, maybe somewhere available) or even an AMD Athlon X2 as cualcore is probably supported. 1 GB of ram and a Geforce 7600, would be enough.

I wouldn’t worry too much. Most of the LAN machines in the high res video that’s doing the rounds, looked to be Dells.

Which means P4 cpu, non SLI :slight_smile:

|No It means an P4 EE OC with quad SLI :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t joke. Did you see the new 9 grand + xps? Pretty close to that. Remember Dell recently bought Alienware.

Very very unlikely! :nag:

they sold out in three days ( suckers :eek: )

^^ I know that, was just joking :). We all know dell sucks. I even saw a test with a dell XPS PC. After a format and fresh install from own XP CD (so without dell crap) some games gained 33% better framerates!

I know, that you know, that you were joking :???: :smiley: :banana:

I was surprised at how visually impressive Quake Wars looked. Of course Activision was running the game on PCs equipped with twin 7900 GTX cards in SLi, so I’m sure that all the eye candy was cranked up to full.

Kinda hard to say what you could directly compare this game to. The official line is “if you can play doom 3 you can play this” yeah possibly but at what detail settings? Doom 3 certainly never had any large outdoor maps or a possible 31 other players on screen at once and thats not taking into acount some of the players being in vehicles which again will increase the polycount. The systems at e3 running quakewars were maent to be intel core systems with 2 7900gtx’s in sli, they probably never bothered with quad sli since its crap. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would really really love to know what the minimum specs will be.
Right now i am playing ET om a duron 1300…

No, no… don’t run away… pls?

I just never really needed to upgrade till now :frowning:

I know, I am very sad and nubbish… but pls pls… gimme tips? I want to learn, honest! I swear faithfully to upgrade and try to follow computer hardware trends from now on :slight_smile:

If you aren’t able to get the answer from several posts above, in the same topic , you probably shouldn’t try something as confusing as web forum. Let alone search function. I’d ban people like you.
I repplied just to show my signature.

Yeah but you’ll have the last laugh on anyone who buys hardware at the moment.

Windows Vista is out next Jan and DX10 won’t run on any existing graphics card as it needs a brand new architecture.

Result is that anyone whos spent a fortune on sli graphics cards etc is going to be binning them next year if they want to play DX10 enabled games.

As a word of warning to anyone thinking of upgrading, if you want to play Hi Def videos on your PC, then you’ll also need HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) and HDMI (Output) on your graphics card as well. Your monitor will also need the same = new graphc card & monitor for most of us.

Also, one of Vista’s best features, super-prefectching likes up to 2GB of memory for itself (although Vista can scale its performance according to whats available). Point is though, for max performance you could be looking at 4GB + of memory.

Finally bear in mind that as super-prefetching is HD dependant, it runs best on a fast SATA HD (read 10,000rpm for max performance) with a min 8mb buffer and NCTQ.

Vista itself has a MIN processor spec of an Athlon 64 3000+.

Slightly off the original topic I know, but valuable info to those thinking of spending money on their systems - might be worth waiting and for the rest of us, saving!

@B0rsuk,

You know just as good as anyone else on this forum that there is NO official statement about the specs needed… only the crap about running Doom blahblah.
So it’s a very normal question on a forum which is read by SD members who KNOW the answer.

Do you know the difference between speculation and fact? If not, I would suggest visiting a dictionary site and having a go at figuring out the complications of that search function :wink:

Not really sure if you are trying to be amusing… if so, you fail miserably.
If you are trying to be insulting… well, sorry, you failed that test too. (Hard to take offence at someone who lacks social skills)

May I suggest that instead of hanging around bleeting at people about search functions, you actually attempt to… oh, I don’t know… get a life, perhaps?

@ SD mods… really sorry for flaming this topic. :frowning:
