GWX on a 64MB Graphics card?

Kpt. Lehmann · 05-28-08, 07:18 PM

Well, the truth is going to be harsh.

Even stock SH3 recommended specs call for a 128mb card.

We were very careful to keep graphic resolutions same as stock with very few exceptions. (U-boat interiors)

The long loading times are due to the comprehensive campaign built into GWX... and there is no avoiding it... not due to buckets of super-hi-res textures.

Even so, you are really going to need more video power even with stock SH3 to run it comfortably.

I hate telling you that... but GWX would likely not run well on your PC.

Get use to drinking coffee while you wait for the game to load!

You might find that your frame rates take a hit when there is a lot of traffic around.

I'd recommend 256MB as a minimum

Thanks fellas, appreciate the info....I may give it a shot due to SHIII working well on this machine...but I will not get my hopes up. More fuel to the fire for biting the bullet and getting a newer machine.
