SH5 System Req's?

Everything depends,,everythings depends, on what "line" of PC usage you're crossing.

If you cross; like I always have been doing, the 'gamers' line, then a Mid range system can kinda look like this; Intel i7-940, 4 GB Corsair DDR-3 1333 memory, 500Gb HD, Geforce GTX 295. (This is by the way a take out from what PC Gamer thinks is a mid range system, but they are pretty "head-on")

Now this is for the gamer, a mid range in that world might not be mid range in the world of let say a musician or photoshop guy, where huge amount of memory is important and other factors are less important to them compared to a gamer.

My experience with computer/PC gaming since 25 years back is just to balance the system to a stable level and you can run pretty kicked up.

....on the other hand a PC can never be too

big,,,

That's not midrange, by any standard. GTX295 was top of the line, effectively "enthousiast", for some time. i7 is high end as well.

will someone please tell those idiots at nvidia to stop using the same damn numbers all the time?

the last 5800 card i had was a 128mb agp version lol, i dont think they still make it the same way today

Soon there will be so many # that it will take a computer to read them out loud

if they just stop using hundreds and thousands then start with #10 or even #100then go 1 number or 100 at a time.

they would never run out of new numbers that way but thats too easy to do i guess

LOL!

No way in hell you'll run SH5 with a 9600gt and all graphic options checked! You'll need a 260gts or better, depending on what resolution you want. If you have a 22" LCD monitor, you better buy a 260 or 270gts, 1gb, to run it all maxed out. But if you dont mind running it in 1024x768 all option in "medium", a 9600gt will do the trick.

With 4gb ram you'll play it, and don't worry about CPU... the game will suport multicore CPU, so anything above 2.4ghz Dual Core will do. Any Quad Core or I7 will have power to spare.

And you bet you'll need around 10gb of free disk space.

@Cappy70, QUADRO videocards are for 3D rendering, and not for games. They wont run SH5.
