I'm always amazed how people will go nuts trying to figure out what something will be or not.

It's just a game, not something to argue and have heart attacks over...

It's months away.....relax and wait for real info from ubisoft.

I'd say that if you can run Silent Hunter 4: U-boat Mission with near max settings you won't have much problems with this game. More detail has clearly been put to the game, but I am fairly certain that one who could run Silent Hunter 4: U-boat Mission (which is a fantastic looking game) with near max settings can run the game just fine.

Looks like I'll have to upgrade to play a Silent Hunter sequel.

Again. :haha:

I originally upgraded to play sh4 it looks like i will have to do it again would be good if they told us so we could get our rigs ready for the game that way there is no scurrying around getting graphics cards. lol when i originally got sh4 and my pc did not play it i just out to the pc shop and got the 8800 gtx mabey i will get a nvidia 295 for it.

Yeah same here, but I dont mind paying for upgrades if the game is worth it. I'll wait to see a little more first before I splash out on new computermabobs.

If a 1GB graphics card wont run it, I'll personally go and punch one of them in the face. :yep:

High end 256 or a low end 512 Vid should run it..its going to be a Ram hog,so 3 Gig min or 4...IMO.

Guys, speculation is fine and f but have some common sense on hardware.
This stuff drops in price by the day sometimes. Whatever cost $300.00 in a VC today will likely be $125.00 or not even available when SH5 is loading up for the first time.

Never buy any hardware until the day you need it.

Now, if you hear Vinny or Tyrone whisper, Psssssssssst, yo, got your 295's here for $20.00 a piece but the new ATI 5 series are $30.00 how many you want?

Well, that changes the above advise:rotfl:


Seriously, save your money until you get the game and then upgrade, you will get more hardware and might here from others which card runs it better

I dont think this game will require so much resources.

u-168 08-18-09 09:37 AM

i dont think it should use eneymore power than sh4 now i come to think about it sh4 is quite advanced and by the trailers of sh5 we may infact even be able to stick to the cards we have now and run it mabey:DL

The interior compartments and crew will take a lot of power to run :o
