fastfed 03-13-07 07:00 PM

How about my specs guys?

2.0 amd
1 or 2 gigs of ram ( cannot remember )
ati 9700 pro video card..


I know its pretty old, but it still plays almost all my games MAXED OUT!! Its weird, but I can play BF2 maxed out at 1024x768
oblivioun maxed out,
and of course SH3 maxed out..

I remember when SH3 came out and people were telling me then my system will barley be able to run it, but it runs it full max..

So will I be able to atleast turn down the res. on this and still play it?

I had almost the exact same setup fastfed, and I'm sure you'll still be able to play SH4, with some lowering of the graphics settings obviously. ;)

Here's/was my setup

PIV 3.0Ghz
1GB Ram
ATI 9700 Pro (recently upgraded to 7800GS)

Though, without going too OT, I must say I'm supprised you could play BF2 at max settings with 1024x768 resolution. When I tried that, my computer, ATI 9700, went through all sorts of crazyness, artifacts, fps drops, etc.

I know, that's why I wrote its weird..

The ONLY GAME TO DATE that will not even play on my computer is the new rainbow six, I bought it and realized I didn't have the specs.

Advice wanted
 
My system:

AMD 64 FX-55 (2.6GHz)
2 GIG RAM
2 x GeForce 7800GT (256mb) SLI

Windows xp sp 2

I have seen the amazing screenshots and the fancy rendering and the incredible detail. I am worried.

Honest opinions please about how smoothly I can expect sh4 to run and which details I had better start expecting to switch off...

Thank you in advance for any advice,

Tony.

With that kind of machine you will have 0 problems running SHIV at max resolution and max details. I even think you'll be able to run the post-processing filter in real time. SLI-fitted cards sure makes up for a lot. Not sure SHIV supports SLI, but even ONE 7800 GT is more than enough. 2 Gb RAM helps hugely so you're all good, and I can't see the game requiring more than 2 GHz of processing power really. So I believe you're in for a treat.

I have :
Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 3,2 GHz 1,5 GB RAM GeForce 6600 (256 MB) .
Is that good enough to play SH4 with all settings ?


I don't want to change card once again - as I have already done it to play SH3 !
What's Your opinion experts ?

ReallyDedPoet 03-14-07 07:26 AM

Not sure about the card, but 2 gig instead of 1.5 would be a bonus, your processor should be fine.

Someone will further answer this.

No not all high at least, the Netburst framework is bad (P4) the 6600GT is slightly dated you want to be aiming around 7600GT a card probably 3 times stronger then a 6600GT for about $50 more. I need to know what ram you have if its 1.5GB 133MHZ DDR1 no if its 1.5GB DDR2 800MHZ thats good.
