Ubi's official specs at this stage (from one of their sites):

Win2K, WinXP or Vista
2.0GHz processor
512MB RAM
100% DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card with 128MB RAM
Vertex Shader 2.0 and Pixel Shader 2.0+ support
100% DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

Oh, and welcome to subsim.

I can almost guarantee you that the minimum RAM will jump to 1 GIG a week or so before release.

I simply posted Ubi's published specs. I wouldn't even bother attempting to launch SH4 under those specs. I want to experience fluid motion, not watch a slide show.

Seems that your prediction was true!

TDK1044 · 02-20-07, 12:46 PM

Yeah. Honestly, there is no way you could run SH4 on less than 1 GIG. Those who can afford to upgrade to 2 GIGs should do so in my opinion.

Your rig will run it, Jamoz, just not at the highest graphical settings.

That's some will power you have there. Still, I can certainly appreciate your sentiments on wanting to enjoy a game like this in all its possible and intended spledor.

I am not surprised.

Looking to upgrade my computer to play this game in all its glory (Maxed Out If Possible). What do I need to do as my "computer-fu" is very weak!!!!!!

Here is my current system...

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz
1GB RAM
RADON X300 SE Series Graphics Card , 128 MB (Internal DAC 400 MHz)

Thanks for any and all help!!! Come on 3/27/07!!!!

Your processor is OK. Your RAM is just OK, assuming you meant to write 1 GIG, but the game is graphic intensive and will run much smoother with 2 GIGS of RAM. Your video card will not handle this game at all. You need to upgrade to a mid range NVIDIA or ATI card. I would recommend either the NVIDIA 7600 GT or 7900 series cards.
