speculation is the whole point of the game, but we do know this much: you will need a geforce, possibily a geforce2. If this game isnt cpu intensive, then wouldnt like 600MHz be enough? every game I have played scaled in low res. not much in high res due to fill rate limitations though :( now is a ti4200 without fsaa as fast as a radeon 9800 pro with 4x fsaa and 16x aa?
I dont think 600Mhz would be Doom3s minimal requirement.. I havent seen many games require such a low processor in sometime :)
I would think it would be more around a 1Ghz processor with a Geforce card and 128MB of ram :)
Now I dont even want to think about what the recommended specs would be :)
Not even close.Quote:

2GHz CPU
+256MB mem
128MB video
Is that a guess of minimal or recommended???? :)

I have seen no games to be honest with requirements higher than 500Mhz cpu, 256mb ram, 32mb video ram, geforce or radeon. This means games like lots of ram and a TL video card but 500MHz is fast cpu.
"Not even close."
this is amazing, meaning the radeon9800 is over 4 times the speed of a ti4200, since with 4x fsaa it still eats the ti4200
There are plenty of games with a requirement over 500Mhz...
Lets see:
Unreal2:
Min - P3 733Mhz+, 256MB ram, 32MB GF2 MX
Rec - P3 1.2Ghz+, 384MB ram, 64MB GF3 or 8500 and up
UT2003:
Min - P3 733Mhz+, 128MB ram, 16MB TNT2-Class and up
Rec - P3 733Mhz+, 256MB ram, 32MB GF2 or ATI Radeon
Morrowind:
Min - P3 500Mhz+, 128MB ram, 32MB Direct3D card
Rec - P3 800Mhz+, 256MB ram, GF2 GTS or Radeon 7500 and up
CliveBarker Undying
Min - P2 400Mhz+, 64MB ram, 16MB 3D Accelerator
Rec - P3 500Mhz+, 128MB ram, 32MB 3D Accelerator
BF1942
Min - P3 500Mhz+, 128MB ram, 32MB 3D Accelerator with HT&L
Rec - P3 800Mhz+, 256MB ram, 64MB 3D Accelerator with HT&L
Need I go on??????
daym those are insanely high requirements, especially unreal based games! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: but the other games need around 500MHz, not too bad though
You do know that Clive Barker and Morrowind is a few years old right????
Well Morrowind is from 5/2002
While Clive Barker is from 2/2001 :)
So yes there specs would be low!
More specs:
NFS:HP2
Min - P2 450Mhz+, 128MB ram, 16MB Direct3D card
Rec - P3 800Mhz+, 128MB ram, 32MB Direct3D card
C&C: Generals
Min - P3 800Mhz+, 128MB ram, 32MB AGP GF3 or Radeon 7500
Rec - P4 1.8Ghz+, 256MB ram, GF3 or better
Hitman 2:
Min - P2 450Mhz+, 128MB ram, 16MB Direct3D card
Rec - P3 1.0Ghz+, 256MB ram, 32MB Direct3D card
No One Lives Forever 2:
Min - P3 500Mhz+, 128MB ram, 32MB Direct3D card
Rec - P3 1.0Ghz+, 256MB ram, 64MB Direct3D card
Simcity 4.0
Min - P3 500Mhz+, 128MB ram, 16MB Direct3D card
Rec - P4 1.0Ghz+, 256MB ram, 32MB Direct3D card (didnt know P4 had a 1.0Ghz ;) )
mmmm...IIRC, 4x fsaa doesn't cut the fps rate in 4. so no, it's not necessarily that much faster, you just don't take so much of a performance hit for using AA on ati cards.Quote:

Where does he find the time to flood the forums with this kind of bull manure?
Edit: Corrected a typo
Also I have just noticed that a couple of my lasts posts have been solely to criticize this troll and have contributed nothing to the forums. I am going to try to lead by example and not respond to his stupidities anymore.
Hope I have the self-control and restraint to do so....
.....all you need is love......
Ut2003 runs on my rig (quincunux 2x AA)1024x768 at about 30-40 fps with 10 bots in one screen and if I go crazy with the old mouse, it drops down to about 25fps. Still I can still play quite comfortably (max everything). I am seeing this trend that even really big rigs are just giving you the advantage of higher res with more AA ending up at roughly the same frame rate +- 10-20fps. I just dont care. To me that's not why I play games and what I have looks good enough. Hell, I guess if I wanted to, I could overclock my card again and get even MORE fps but there is just no need.
One thing I did notice though is that games in these days look really shite with AA turned off whereas a 1-2 years back they still looked ok. Are they slowly going the optimised only for AA???? Would it make programing/coding easier?
I don't think so, I think it is just a matter of cognitive distortion.
Once we got used to being able to play with AA and AF, it is very difficult to see anything else as 'looking good'.
I can play f12k2 at 1600x1200 no AA/AF, but it looks so much better 1024x768 4AA/8AF that nothing can make me change it to the higher res.
