Jail · 03-03-10, 07:08 AM

It's been a long time since you posed the question so I'll try to help. I'm not real familiar with all the model cards. However you may want to google your card and check the specs on each and look for differences. If their close enough you may be ok.

recommended stats are there for a reason. using a sub minimum card can risk damage to the card because of overheating. plus it might be glitchy on the 7000 series because UBI didn't take cards that old into account when coding the game.

I want to know aswell, I also have a 8600gt (even wrote a topic about it, but no answer...)

If your card supports PS 3.0 the game WILL start & run, but depending on the video card you may have very low fps (for example my notebook has an integrated Intel video card with PS 3.0, but it has trouble running Solitaire...)

Those are minimum requirements for the game to run decently, not minimum requirements for the game to just start.

hmm a little bit ... I have ATI x1900 and game doesn't work when i switch to external "world" or if i look through periscope outside. Does any one know how to fix this?(if is it possible)

First turn all the settings to minimum, including screen res. If it then works you can start turning the settings up, its a case of trial and error.

I haven't missed a Silent Hunter game yet (bought 2, 3, and 4 on opening day), but this time I may have to wait a while. I'm driving an Intel Pentium4 3.0 GHz with an NVidia 7600GT. I could barely run SH4, so SH5 will be out of my league until I get a new PC.

The good news is, by that time the modders will have fixed it up real good.
