SH5 System Req's?

[YukonJack_AK]

I know EVERYONE is all excited about this & that and how they want this feature or that feature included (and I am too )... but - does anybody have even an inkling of what the basic system requirements are going to be for SH5? I'd kinda like to make sure the new system I'm about to build will handle it... no sense in having to rebuild in less than 6 months...

[papa_smurf]

Haven't got the foggiest Be patient, i'm sure the requirements will be out soon.

No news that I know of on that yet, but as for me I have a sneaky feeling my ageing machine has finally met it's match

I would venture to guess if SH4 made your machine struggle....SH5 will go no easier on your system. The time is now to beg, borrow or steal the pieces you need for the new rig

[Fish40]

I would have to honestly say that with respects to SH4, my old gal handels it pretty well! I play with a fairly high res (1280x960), the graphics options on medium-high, and use mods like Real Environment, RFB, RSRD, ect. with no "slide show" effects. Far from it! I do have the occasional slowdown depending on the situation, but so do alot of people. The game is very playable. If the new specs aren't off the charts compared to SH4, I have a real shot without haveing to spend thousands!

Yup that is the nature of the beast (PC gaming) you gotta fork out for a new card at least once every 3 years.

My system has done quite well with SH4, I think more RAM would help it along but I usually run at the higher end of graphic settings and can still get a playable 20fps. But my system is long past due for an upgrade, in fact its so past due that I'm just going to build a new one from scratch. But on the bright side I have a comp that I can install Win98 on still for some SH1 action! Oh and it's the nature of the beast of gaming in general. Every 3 years or so you either get a new video card or a new console, meh what are ya gonna do though?

Can I blame you and SHV when I get caught trying to smuggle $1,000 worth of computer parts out of tigerdirect?

The new minimum specs are as follows:
Quad core 3,5GHZ
8GB DDR RAM
2GB Video card 512bit 1200 core clock and 2200 clock speed

However, That barely runs it so we shall have to wait for new hardware to run it nicely and oh hey, it will require DX12:rotfl:

Guys, it does not matter what it takes.
UBI will not put out a game that can not be run but by a few wealthy guys in a down economy.

It will likely have some scale to it because they also have to up the eye candy appeal.

Then,what ever it does require that you may need to upgrade, well, that will cheaper next month and maybe something else will have come out, run its course and be bargain priced when you buy this so be assured it will run most mid range systems decently

By Mid range i would say 3.0GHZ Dual core, 4GB DDR RAM and a better 512MB 256bit video card but I would suggest it will need a higher end VC at least a now top of the line 1GB (285, 4870 minimum) to satisfy most of us but all is conjecture at this point.

Ubi is in this to make money and that means it has to look really good but be able to run on a mid level PC

I know the feeling. My machine was stretched thin for SH4 and it can go no further.

[papa_smurf]

I was thinking of building a new system next year - might have to put in on hold.........

[Philipp_Thomsen]

I agree with you.

But so far all I posted is in reference for a post of someone saying what should you have to play the game with all graphical options maxed out, in a good resolution.

Im sure you`ll be able to run the game in mild conditions and slow framerate in avarage computers, yes. But come on, decent computers are cheap these days.

And what`s the point in saying that you can get 25fps in your computer while in 1x tc? Nobody plays the patrol at 1x tc. If you don`t get a good processor and ram, you wont be able to go into a decent tc, making the patrol REALLY boring.

Unless of course that you're already retired and have all the time in the world.

(tc = time compression)

Ubisoft's definition of a mid range rig and the definition that a hard core gamer would use are two totally different things.

As I understand it, SHV is being optimized to be more efficient than SHIV, and 2 GIGs of RAM will run it perfectly smoothly. A dual core processor at 3 GHz running with a mid range 512MB video card will also run the game smoothly... at the lower end of the screen resolution scale (1280 X 1024)

Ubisoft knows that about 90 percent of the people who purchase this game are not members of Forums like this, and they are not going to upgrade their computer in order to play it. So in order for Ubisoft to make money, the specs for this game will be a little higher than SHIV, but not radically higher.

Simple as that really.

i'm going to put my money on; Dx10 gpu, 2 gigs of ram, and 2.0 dual core cpu. thats what most games coming out are needing

[Letum]

Ubisoft have confirmed it:

2x 3.5'' Disk Drive
3MB spare hard drive space
MS DOS 5.0 or later
340x680 Graphics resolution
16 bit graphics
20mhz or greater
