I know this will work because I can run Sh3 GWX with 16kl visability and running 6xAA-8xAF and with very little slowdownds mainly in port then it's great...:up:

How something runs with SH3 and GWX, I imagine, is quite a ways off from SHIV. SH3 with GWX looks great, don't get me wrong....but add in fog, god rays, particle effects, higher-poly subs/ships/aircraft, etc.. etc.. and you more than likely really can't compare the two with regards to performance.

God Rays? :rotfl: ......Ooops :oops:

??

That's what they are called. :D

My sense is that I probably won't be able to run it on full detail until upgrading - and an upgrade wouldn't make sense now; I plan to get a PCI-E system within a year and buying a new AGP card just wouldn't make sense now (to me being on a budget, anyway).

Ah well? :hmm:

Oops!! Sounds like I have to put more memory in:lol: :lol: :lol: (Just got 512 at the moment :o :oops: :shifty: but the Radeon 9600 still saves my day).

Or just getting a new motherboard...........................:-?

I dont think you will play it maxed out. Not trying to spoil the party, just what i think.

Hey guys, I just found this place. Pretty cool community from the looks of it. Anywho, What do you guys think of this machine for SH4?

Pent d 3.2 gigahertz
2 gigs RAM
Nvidia 6800 GT
XP serv pack 2

Thanks

Looks do-able. You might get away with it, It'll certainly work with some features turned off I think. Wait and see what it plays like. Otherwise a small graphics card upgrade could be in order.

Welcome to the family by the way. The best submarine sim community on the web :up:

I was able to play SH3 at full blast at 1280x1024 (small mod) at 4x AA. I guess it won't be so with the new one.

Nope, it's gonna need more power to run at max. But you'll still be able to run it. But according to what TDK said in another thread your graphics card might do ok. His system is very similar, but he can run SH4 at maxed settings with a 7600. The 6800 isn't quite as good, but it's not too bad either.

I've got an ATI Radeon 9600 in my main system too - it's my biggest concern for SHIV at the moment.:-? It runs SHIII well (although not spectacularly) but I just don't know about SHIV. I think my P4 3.0 Ghz processor and 1.5 GB of RAM will handle the game however (although the RAM is only DDR 400 Mhz).

The Ati 9600 is an old card and it's not a fast card. I think it will struggle with SH4.

I had a 9600 like two cards ago

I know that you Beta-testers are probably not allowed to tell us, but perhaps I'm lucky:
Do you know how long it will take to load a mission with 1GB RAM? If it takes as long as it takes right now with SH3 or even longer I'll have to upgrade to 2GB.(Waiting almost 5 minutes to start a mission just sucks:nope:)
