SH4 Specs... What Upgrades Do I Need??? - Page 17

Charlie901 · 03-16-07, 02:35 PM

I honestly think you all are being way too pessimistic in your grapix requirement criteria for SHIV.

If this sim were not able to run well on MEDIUM Settings on a P43.0 system with 1gig of rdram and at least a 6600 series card then the causual gamer would be completely out of the ballpark on this one.

Remember the "casual gamer" is probably running with integrated GPU or only something "slightly" better and would never have more than a gig of ram.

If the devs want this one to have that "mass" appeal they wouldn't want customers to get annoyed with dropping the graphix to the bare minimum.

After all "Eye Candy" is an important selling point and marketing tool used to attract the casual gamers here!

you absolutly right with your opinion....

SH IV will run very good on medium comps with most times maxed out graphic settings...

don't be afraid dear friends, you must not have a monster comp for this game...

i know it...

I have a AMd Athlon 3300+~2.4ghz, BFG OC 6600 vid card 128 mb, 2 gigs of ram, and was curious if the game would run on medium to medium-lowish settings alright?

I saw pictures from that Swedish guy who already got his copy and his specs weren't that hot so I was curious how I'd do. I know my computer isn't the fastest thing out there but I've been prowling the forums and this thread for awhile and seen a few configurations out there similar to mine that people think they can run SH4 on.

Great community, btw.

Can someone tell me how well my rig can handle SH4?

My LCD is native at 1280x1024.

My rig specs:

AMD Athlon 3200 2.2ghz
1.5gig ram
7600GT

I really hope to play on HIGH.............

How much hard drive space does it need? I just read that Unreal Tournament 3 is 30gig and I just about had a stroke.

1 gig RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 Gt , 256 MB( ppl said that it was pretty good for games)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ~2,2 Ghz ----processor my problem i think.

You won't be able to play on full graphics, but I bet you will be fine on medium/low.
