Thinking Ahead..SH IV system req

atfcharger · 10-26-06, 12:05 PM

I've got a P4 3.0E, 1 GB of PC3200, and a 6800 GT. Everything runs flawless in SH3 and GW except this wierd issue where when I view flames/explosions of a burning ship the frame rate does not chop, but the animation/modelling of the fire and smoke itself chops. Aside from that, I'm not worried about whether or not I can run SHIV.

I think even the recommended spec (not the required spec) for SHIV would be 3.0 GHz at most from both Intel/AMD with 512 of RAM and the DX9 card.

Whatever you buy for a laptop right now should handle SHIV as long as it has a decent video card. I could run SH3 on an eMachines 6811 (2.2 AMD 64, 512 of RAM, ATI 9600 128) and the ONLY problem in that game (aside from the fire thing) is that it took forever to load because the HDDD was 5200 RPM and probably from the slower RAM speeds. In-game was fine.
