I honestly think you all are being way too pessimistic in your grapix requirement criteria for SHIV.

If this sim were not able to run well on MEDIUM Settings on a P43.0 system with 1gig of rdram and at least a 6600 series card then the causual gamer would be completely out of the ballpark on this one.

Remember the "casual gamer" is probably running with integrated GPU or only something "slightly" better and would never have more than a gig of ram.

If the devs want this one to have that "mass" appeal they wouldn't want customers to get annoyed with dropping the graphix to the bare minimum.

After all "Eye Candy" is an important selling point and marketing tool used to attract the casual gamers here!

Annoying but hey , i can still annoy people on the forums . :up:

you absolutly right with your opinion....

SH IV will run very good on medium comps with most times maxed out graphic settings...

don't be afraid dear friends, you must not have a monster comp for this game...

i know it...

I have a AMd Athlon 3300+~2.4ghz, BFG OC 6600 vid card 128 mb, 2 gigs of ram, and was curious if the game would run on medium to medium-lowish settings alright?

I saw pictures from that Swedish guy who already got his copy and his specs weren't that hot so I was curious how I'd do. I know my computer isn't the fastest thing out there but I've been prowling the forums and this thread for awhile and seen a few configurations out there similar to mine that people think they can run SH4 on.

Great community, btw.

Can someone tell me how well my rig can handle SH4?

My LCD is native at 1280x1024.

My rig specs:

AMD Athlon 3200 2.2ghz
1.5gig ram
7600GT

I really hope to play on HIGH............. :sunny: :sunny:

How much hard drive space does it need? I just read that Unreal Tournament 3 is 30gig and I just about had a stroke.

Around 4.5GB.

AMD64 3800
2 gigs MEM
7900GTX 512mb

how well does this setup perform? :/\\chop

Everything maxed out of course!

How will my p4 3.0 Hyperthreading
1 gig of ddr 2 ram
and a 256 meg ddr2 ATI 1600pro vid card run it ???

I feel a excuse to go buy another gig of ram coming on muhahaha:up:

I have a question. Well my SH3 worked like a charm be4 i installed GWX, then it started to lag.Im afraid that Sh4 will lag me too then although i think i have a normal pc
1 gig RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 Gt , 256 MB( ppl said that it was pretty good for games)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ~2,2 Ghz ----processor my problem i think.
I don't think i could play SH4 smoothly when SH3 already lagged..

im also rather worried, i was lookin at some screenies and i was thinking will my setup strugglei got....
P4 3.0gig processer
1.5 gig ram
and the worring part ATi x700 256mb agp

so any help would be appreciated :up:

Could someone please post a readable image of the backside of the SH4 dvd ? I cant find the official minimum + medium + recommended specs.

Thanks.

You won't be able to play on full graphics, but I bet you will be fine on medium/low.

excellent thanx forr the help m8 :up:

Guys,

I thinking of upgrading my graphics card for SH4 since i suspect that my gfx is the bottleneck in my system. The question is which card i should pick? ATI 1900 or GeForce 7900/7950/8800? I dont think the 8800 is an option right now, to expensive.

My current setup:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz (E6400)
2GB 533 DDRII RAM
GeForce 7800GT 256MB

My monitor supports 1280x1024@75Hz at a max so that's what i am going to try and run the game at. Graphics detail settings at max.

But then again, my current setup might support that...or?

What do you guys think?

/Mike
