Optimal System Requirments?

pickinthebanjo · 08-14-10, 09:36 AM

I threw together a new rig and I am wondering what system specs would you recommend to run the game at it's fullest

REIS · 08-14-10, 09:51 AM

At monday i'm going to buy a new rig for it like:
AMD Phenom II X4 925
Scythe Katana 3 SCKTN-3000
2*2GB Samsung DDR3 1333mhz
MSI 770 AM3
Chieftec 600C 600W
Gigabyte/MSI/EVGA GTX460 1024
and then overclock it.

i think it will be enough to handle the game at 1680*1050

what do you think?

just interesting link where you can check sys specs for sh5: http://www.game-debate.com/games/ind...t%20Hunter%205

search newegg.com for your parts. You should be able to get better parts for the same price you're going to pay for the above. I'd go with the AMD Phenom II X4 955 or 965. I use the 965 and have it OC'd to 3.9 on air. Love it. Get the best video card you can afford - I have the EVGA GTX480 and it's a dream. Runs this game with all settings on max with no problems (I have 30" Samsung LCD running @ 2560 x 1600)

My specs aren't so grand but it runs no prob:

AMD Phenom II X4 945
8GB DDR3 RAM - 1333mhz
1GB ATI Radeon HD5750

Very nice, but i have nice prises here in Kiev too.
For 250$ i willbuy motherboard+ram+ener.supply
in other store i will buy CPU for 136$
i already have new 500GB samsung drive and case

And, newegg situates in the USA, too expensive shipping

I run the game with 1X 5870 and 1920x1080 on a 24inch monitor . I get 70fps outside and over 100 inside . That is with the game settings on full except shadows on half . In catalyst i have AA 4X and AF 16X.

So it's not that demanding then is it.

Well you have a better card/ram than I am using at the moment (zotac 210, 6gb OCZ 1600mhz) I have to wait for my pump to get here before I can install the 480's and the dominators (water cooled heatspreaders

)

WHAT IS BETTER FOR SH5, ATI or Nvidia?!

In my opinion Nvidia is better for EVERYTHING. They have better drivers, more supported games, and they are cheaper. I found that ATI has been slipping latley, and I never used to like Nvidia but now it is all I would ever buy and I don't ever plan on buying ATI again.

This isn't a biased opinion either, in fact I never had any problems in the past with ATI cards until the 5*** series came out, it was the old Nvidia cards that gave me trouble.

The new Nvidia cards also support 3D vission surround, which destroys ATI's eyefinity both in terms of quality and supported games.

Now these are my opinions and I expect others to have entirly different views, which I would like to hear.

I would agree with most of the above because I've only ever had one none Nvidia card which happened to be an ATI early series (can't remember the series now) and that had problems running SH3

I moved up tp a Nvidia 7800GS and still have it on my old system.

My new system has the ATI HD5750 because I left it to my retailer....so fingers crossed

you know, as I was writing that I was remembering that you said you were grabbing an ati

Anyway, I haven't heard anything about that card, but the 5970's (especially the way over sized/priced models) have had some problems

Fingers crossed but no problems at this end.....so far

I haven't bought SH5 yet and want to know if my pc can handle it at max or almost max graphics.

9800GTX (1gig) Nvidia card
C2Duo 2.7 Ghz CPU
3 gigs of RAM
(WIndows XP 32bit)

I can max out SH4 with these specs no problem. Is SH5 going to be a problem for me?

it has been my experience that ATI cards are best if not newly released.

ATI takes forever to come up with proper working drivers so as long as you stick with last years ATI model you never have issues with them (well almost never since no brand is ever perfect)

as for required specs my rule of thumb is double the recommended ram and video specs and you have no worries about getting the most from your games, the cpu specs are usually spot on but they always under estimate the ram and video needs.
