Idk, I'm in a pickle.
I got an ASUS AH3450 (other wise known as the HD3450)
AGP with 512 on the card, I hope it can at least run the game

like, when I tried to run Far Cry 2 on my hd2400, it wouldnt start up because my card was too inadequate

First off my apoligies to all. :oops: Lets think about this logicaly.

UBI isn't going to provide their DEV's with high-end Rigs.

Duo Core, Yes. PCI-E, You bet. 2GB Ram, At least.

But to use a Mega rig to make a sim for a niche group that alot have trouble playing SH4. Would be finacial suicide. :dead:

1 or 2 Devs have posted here and while not giveing anything away about SH4 iirc used middle of the road computers then.

If you at least upgrade to play SH4 reasonalbly well, You shouldn't have any trouble with SH5.

To You All :salute:

The specs are somewhat the same as in SH4. Don't worry

Thank god for that i hope my little 8800 gtx still has its 9 lives lol

U-168

It's way too early yet. Much optimizing still to do. Tech Specs will be confirmed in December/January would be my guess.

I think you can apply common sense though and say that you'll need at least 2 GIGs of RAM, a mid range duo core processor, and a decent 512MB video card. :)

whoo! right on the money!

Indeed

We have optimized SH5 to use less memory than SH4.

^^

There you go - from the horses mouth and everything:
Its really great to see the guys (Devs) posting here, :yep:

That said i do hope that the optimization doesnt come at the expense of reducing the engines draw distance for Ships & Land mass:D
(Smoke visible on the horizon? - pretty please :D)

This is exactly what I was expecting to hear...just wanted to hear it from one of the devs. :up:

Thus I am not concerned in any way about system specs, even with my 2 year old computer (although by the time SH5 is out, I would have naturally upgraded it anyway). Using SH3 or SH4 as benchmarks for SH5 system performance is fraught with danger.

I was always taught never to worry or stress about things that may not happen. It's not healthy. So I find all the speculation and concern in this thread highly perplexing. Just hang tight, save your money and see what you need when it's formally announced. Who knows, you may find that the money that you saved in the meantime can be spent on other things. ;)

Usually sims are played by a large group of people with no interest in buying a new graphics card etc. every 3 months..that way they can sell more copies because the sim market is so small..

I have faith that SH5 can run on my pc with a 8800GTS 640MB card...you may think i'm crazy but its the 640MB that has kept me going nuts about this card for 2 years now,its the best i ever had with the longest life-span.

Sh4 runs on highest settings,with AA on 4x and i have 60+fps,60 only in bridge view,the other views exceed 100 fps..

I'm gonna stick with my 8800 and see what it can do,i'm confident..
