sh5 game specs straight from the devs

Here are your game specs straight from the devs:

2 gb of ram
nVidia 8800 GT 512mb (ATi 4850 512mb)

512mb on the video card is a minimum to play the game with every option checked. We're trying to make the game to fit into 256 mb of video memory (with the lowest settings).

The game will run on Windows 7, even the 64bit edition.

just to clarify, he wasnt saying it needs windows 7 to run but only that it will be able to run on windows 7

NOTE: this info is all we have to go on as the last word about the game specs straight from the devs but there is no way to be certain they might change this without telling us.


this info has been out there for a while but for some reason the question keeps coming back up so i figured this thread will help get the word out to those who missed it.

Looks like I might want to upgrade my CPU then. Thanks for the info Webster .

[looney]

I should be able to run it WOHOOO

now only hope it turns out to be a propper sim

I bought my dual core with the intention of slapping a quad in it down the road, so this might be the time.

Can you update hardware in laptops?

You can do anything.... If you have enough MONEY.

I hope my GTX 275 and 2.4 GHz quad won't fail me . So far I've played all games on max settings (with no AA). I plan on playing it on 1920x1200. By the way, who plays games at 1280*1024?!

By the way, since this is a game spec thread I'd like to ask something. In SH3 and SH4 all of the 2D graphics were tailored for a 1024x768 resolution. This made some items look bad when stretched to 1920x1200 (such as the periscope backgrounds) and I guess it even forced the devs to disable scaling for most of the items, thus making them very small at high rez. Will the minimum texture resolution in SH5 be for 1280x1024? Or will the textures and 2d graphics have multiple resolutions? And if so, will they give us a simple tool to make modding the interface simpler (I mean the graphics files)?

I think my configuration will do just fine, there's no need to change it or make an upgrade
ASUS P5Q-PRO
INTEL E8500 3.17 GHz
A-DATA VITESTA EXTREME 4 G
ASUS 4870
WD 640

I play games at 1024x768!

I can't imagine life without a 24 inch screen. The next screen I'll buy will be a 30 inch Led TV. Great image, superb contrast and smoothed image even at low fps... My folks have one but don't want to share

You should try 1280 x 960 just once... makes a big difference on the plotting table to me. (I was originally at 1024 x 768)

I have a 22" inch LCD screen

Cool! My rig should handle it.

QX9650 Quadcore Core2 Extreme 4 cores @ ~3.00 ghz
Two 8800 GTS 512s in SLi
8 Gigs of SLi ready ram
EVGA 780i mobo
Vista x64 bit os
500 Gig Hard drive x 2

Thinking of upping the video cards to the 260 or 275 series x 3 in SLi just to be on the safe side.

Hope it doesn't have AA issues that SH4 has. It would be nice to go higher than 4x and not lose things like the halo around the sun.

Hmmmm, I wonder if anybody figured that one out? Forgot to look into that one.

For those looking into widescreens, be sure to check the specs carefully, as my HannsG 28 inch is nice, it only runs 16 bit, so things look blotchy to some degree, like shading and shadows and hi-lights.
Trouble was the specs didn't list everything, like color support. I found it at the manufacturers website, and was a bit let down when it said the monitor supported 16 million colors. So even if you set your vidcard(s) to run at 32 bits, it won't help if the monitor won't.

All in all though, I think I'm going like this one. The last one I really really liked, was the old Dynamix AOTD. I think I still have cd buried away somewhere. Still in the original case. I'm suprised the case lasted. That one went through 3 hard drives before I switched to XP.
