15 more days! 15 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!111111oneoneoneone

*hops around like snoopy*

But I am worried, my machine is old. It can run SH3 fine, but what about SH4?

Specs:

A7n8x-e deluxe
Athlon Xp mobile 2500+ 1.8ghz Overclocked to 2.4ghz *12 x 200*
Corsair 2gigs ddr400
BFGTech Geforce 7800GS
Audigy 2 Sound card
Enermax liberty 500 watts
80 GB maxtor drive
200 GB maxtor drive
ASUS DVD drive

I'm not sure if I have the power to punch through, I want to hang around med-high.

What do you guys think?

CRASH DIVE!

I'd hold on to your horses if I were you. Gaming software in general has a habit of being late...
Now, when they announce that the game has gone gold, *that'll* be the time I start doing the *happy-happy-joy-joy* dance.

Mad Professor · 03-01-07, 11:04 PM

awwww....

*head drops down, walks away slowly*

Sorry to burst your bubble, bud.

Torplexed · 03-01-07, 11:45 PM

Just wait for that four letter magical word.

Then get excited and do four laps around the harbour.....

Oops. Sorry Miss. Didn't see you standing there.

Tough to say if you can run it well or not since none of us know for sure. But I have a very strong feeling that after release there is going to be a massive flood of people on this site that are having problems running this game smoothly, even on the later 7 series GeForce cards. I also have a strong feeling that the only people not complaining about running the game at decent setting will be the ones running the much more powerful GeForce 8800 card and some new dual core proc or something.

This game is such a monster to run that they removed anti-aliasing. That's really saying something about how much this game takes to run. The new high poly water is going to bring even 1 year old machines to their knees I think.

Paint it black, by The Rolling Stones!

Seriously, the french guys who made the vid had this machine:

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 1GB ram and a 7900GT

And it runs well on that, you can see it in the vid, considering fraps eats alot of performance.

flyingdane · 03-02-07, 12:14 AM

Yah' what he said don't freek out it won't be something that a med spc comp, can't handle.

flintlock · 03-02-07, 12:22 AM

If the FSAA can be forced, then it is the same as it was in SH3. Now, who can actually run FSAA with all the other eye-candy going is a whole other story. lol

I for one will be turning off the HDR if possible (it's a little too bright for me).

I'm with you; I'm getting excited, too!

Huh! and i remeber when about to buy Silent Hunter II, it said 8mb video card needed on the box i freaked as at the time i had a 4mb 3dfx Voodoo. So i went out and brought a 16mb TNT card.

I think SHIV will run on mid range PCs okay say - MID SPECS 2.4ghz, 1gig of ram GF5900 - probably slightly lower specs might even manage it. And providing they turn down most graphic options to low/medium.:hmm:

My PC specs is mid range:
2.6ghz
2 gig ram
GF6800

If she refuses to run on that I'll eat my hat and probably cry

Agreed - makes the scene look like an oil painting.
