Scared of GWX

Ok, after completing a campaign (well, really I was sunk) with stock+patches I think I'd like to give GWX if I can run it. I just installed SH3 Commander and looks pretty cool, but before I get GWX I'd like to know if you guys think I can run it somewhat OK, here are my specs:

Vista
AMD Turion™ 64 X2 mobile technology TL-56 at 1.8GHz
2GB RAM
120GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)with up to 288MB shared video memory

I can run Sh3 just fine, with some slow downs in port, and also if a ship is sinking and there's a lot of smoke, not too bad though, I can always go to the control room and not watch it sink :) Anyway, I would appreciate it if you could let me know if based on the specs is worth for me to download and run GWX... (I hope so!) Thanks a bunch!

If you can run SH3 you can run GWX as well

my specs are:

2.8ghz
512 DDR ram
Geforce FX5700LE 256 MB

running GWX with average FPS of 35
slows downs in port and close to explosions.

furthermore....it runs smooth enough

It is recommended that for GWX your PC meets the RECOMMENDED system requirements of stock SHIII. Cant say for sure how much the impact on FPS would be with GWX, but the team has tried very hard to keep it in minimum.

It never hurts to try, right? ;) (That is if you dont have über slow internet :rotfl:)

Give it a try, you can always go back to what you have now.

I run it with 512meg and a 2.4 Gig processor just fine. A little jumpy when it gets on the NAV screen close to convoys but other than that no problem.

I think you will be okay. If you get low frame rates in harbor areas... just enable the "GWX-Lite Harbor Traffic" optional mod that comes with GWX.

The real reason to fear GWX is how easy it is to die. Looks great, plays like a $50K fiddle. And will put you on the bottom tryin' to grow gills if you don't pay close attention.

Ok, I am sold!!:D I am starting to download the files, taking a long time despite cable modem though... patience, patience... So once the files are downloaded, run the exe and ready, right? Oh, and I guess I need the files for SH3 Commander users... I hope I don't botch the install!! Thanks guys!

Glad you have done it!:up: You will be blown away by the improvments that have been made to the game. Your rig should work fine with game.

Your only regret will be that you didn't change sooner:doh:

Just stick with the GWX. :p

This is my current rig:

Abit KN9SLI MOBO
AMD 64X2 Dual Core 5200+
4 GB Dual Channel DDRII RAM@800Mhz
Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS
Audigy 2 Soundblaster

And I still get crappy framerates if there's a big explosion, with lots of fire and smoke :down:

But, like was said before, if your rig can run stock SHIII, it should be able to run GWX.
