Technically the 8800GTX goes between 8800GTS 512 and 9800GTX, but difference from 8800GTS 512 is negligable; performs better on high resolutions thanks to wider memory bus, but GTS is as fast or faster under "normal" conditions.

Umm... there is no GTS 260 AFAIK...
If you mean the GTX 260 then I'm pretty sure it's faster (>>) than a GTS 250?

Arclight · 01-29-10, 06:36 AM

Yeah, sorry.

GTS250 (rebranded 9800GTX+), then GTX 260 core 216

* ehr, I think core 216 competes with HD 4870, so I think that puts the core 192 between HD 4850 and HD 4870.

So I beat the recommended graphics card spec by a nose?

By a fair margin, shouldn't have any trouble with medium/"normal" settings, I suspect medium-high is possible.

It's impossible to say for sure, but... well, I just can't imagine the game would need more to run decently. No point in giving it "Crysis-syndrome", right? (ie. ridiculous requirements, limiting it to only high-end rigs)

Yeah, that's what I thought, but a GTX 260 to play on "medium" sounds like Crysis syndrome to me.

And the game doesn't even look that much better than SH3! I mean don't get me wrong, it looks great, but, well you know what I mean. Maybe those recommended specs will actually run the game on "high" or "very high", that would make more sense to me. I guess we'll see!

In a post somewhere Dan said that he expected to play with all details on a 8800GT or HD 4850 (IIRC), so the "recommended" config maybe is "recommended to play with all options maxed out"

No I don't think Dan said that... maybe somebody else?

Yeah, that makes more sense to me as well, but I don't want to go around stating a 8800GT will let you play with all the bells and whistles, while in truth it might only get you halfway there.

8800GTS 512 here, doubt it will have much trouble with SH5, but we'll see. Might be yet another unpleasant surprise.
