Considering Silent Hunter V

Anthony W. · 04-23-11, 06:18 PM

Hey, I've been considering getting Silent Hunter V but I have one MAJOR Q

My computer is decently old

I have excessive amounts of RAM (4 gigs) and a somewhat decent graphics card (GeForce 8600), but only a 2.66 ghz dual core processor

Will that run it?

Thanks

My CPU is dual core 2.67Ghz. You should be ok in that department. HOwever, your graphics card is going to really struggle. I had an Nvidia 9800GT (1GB) and it sort struggled. Got a GTX 460 and it runs like butter. Your CPU is fine but upgrade the GPU if you can

You only need to be online to start the game. It doesn't have to be constant.

If you do get it, make sure to get a boxed version, the steam one apparently has issues. Amazon is selling for 5 dollars.
