Here are your game specs straight from the devs:

2 gb of ram
nVidia 8800 GT 512mb (ATi 4850 512mb)

512mb on the video card is a minimum to play the game with every option checked. We're trying to make the game to fit into 256 mb of video memory (with the lowest settings).

The game will run on Windows 7, even the 64bit edition.

just to clarify, he wasnt saying it needs windows 7 to run but only that it will be able to run on windows 7

NOTE: this info is all we have to go on as the last word about the game specs straight from the devs but there is no way to be certain they might change this without telling us.

this info has been out there for a while but for some reason the question keeps coming back up so i figured this thread will help get the word out to those who missed it.

I bought my dual core with the intention of slapping a quad in it down the road, so this might be the time.

Can you update hardware in laptops?

You can do anything.... If you have enough MONEY.

With those specs i will have no trouble running SH5

Webchessie · 11-21-09, 10:56 AM

I knew that I had to replace my old pc when SH 5 comes out. She'll be towed out and sunk as an artificial reef. But I'm going to wait until the final game specs come out before I buy a replacement.

A 3.0 GHz processor is stretching it a bit. If that is indeed the bar-none medium. Most computers still run on 2.4 to 2.8 GHz processors; 3.0 ones are almost always the incredibly expensive ones which have been overclocked- otherwise they're just incredibly expensive quad cores lol.

But you are forgetting something. Its 3.0ghz to run SH5 in a single-core cpu. If you have multi-core cpu, any frequency will do.

Mihai is only stating 3.0 GHz processor because that is required in order to achieve maximum time compression in the game.

Hummm I'm not 100% sure I will be able to play this...

Manufacturer - Dell
Model - XPS XPS_420
Rating: 5.9
Proccessor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz 2.33GHz
Memory (RAM) -4.00 GB
System type: 32-bit operating system
ATI Radeon HD 3870

Maybe getting Windows 7 64 bit would help?

VirtualVikingX · 12-08-09, 03:26 AM

Sky, I have the same machine. Its easy to upgrade this CPU to 3 Gigs. Just google it.

I have upgraded my original card (same as you I think) with an GTS250. Works great, I think.

EDIT: Sorry, I have the q6600. FOr info check this link: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=546760

Question: Isnt the screen resolution posted in the first post kinda low, and in 4:3?

Wasnt those specs before they had the what size memory poll.

at about the same time or right before it

they never said anything about making any changes so this is all we have to go on as the last word about it straight from them but i'll add a note of caution to the thread.
