ZBomber Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm no expert at computers but: "Pentium 4 2.0 GHz" Isn't that a lot? Maybe not, I think my PC can handle it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, I think my PC can handle it though. That is the recommended processor speed, but it is not the required processor speed. As long as your computer is above 1.0 ghz, the required processor speed, the game will run fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adillon Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 yup, that sounds about right for running the unreal engine ... if my machine can run HL2 and farcry decently, then i have no worries about RC. is it march yet?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokill Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 i din't find a game my pc can't run yet and i also don't think this will be the one anyways many ppl whit old pc's won't be able to play this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadisticmonkey Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I should run that juuuust fine. Slight dip in graphics card though... but hey! If I do well in my exams, I get a top range Alienware! Hoorah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson5 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 how well would the game run on a system of these specs? Sempron 2800+ (2.0ghz) Evga Geforce FX5200 128mb over 512 mb ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempron 2800+ (2.0ghz) Evga Geforce FX5200 128mb over 512 mb ram yeah, probably minimum settings. So a 6800 LE or 6600 GT would be a nice new high-medium range card that is fresh and not two years old. =) I'm getting a 6800 LE my self. Edit, I got my self a Leadtek 6800 instead. Not the GT or Ultra version, just the plain version. It was just a 50 bucks more than the LE version and I get 12 pipelines instead and 8, and that will pay off in like 1 or 2 years. Atleast if I understand some of the tech talk right about pipelines and data bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Graphics Card: 64MB 3D Graphics card with Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader (VS/PS) capability required. *grumbles* What is Vertex and Picel Shader!?! You know how sometimes they put a lot of stuff on the system reqs that doesn't need to be there? I hope this is one of those times. My specs: Intel Celeron 2.8 Ghz 512 RAM Win XP Intel Crap card... that CAN run Doom 3 and HL2, according to intel. Doom 3 has to be on the lowest settings though, while HL2 should be about average (I assume) I'll wait a while, since this Intel Card isn't even a year old yet, it should be ok, and I normally see forum posts with my card mentioned, I did for battlefront, so I will wait and see. it will run only maby you can't run it on full grafics I will run. What are you talking about, it will run just fine. Probably not full graphics but definatly not lowest settings. He could probably turn the Geometric Detail on high, while leave the textures on low or medium... 16 Bit, or Bilinear. You will have to experiment, but unless your computer is slow in general, it should be ok. You don't need a brand new card to run games with high settings. I turn games made a little over a year ago on high settings with my Intel Card, and still get decent framerate. And I know my Intel Card can't compete with GeForce cards made 2 years ago...

Sabretooth Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 It should just run on my computer, with graphics at lowest. Good excuse: My visor is a bit slow in video intake, leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicerDude Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Don't underestimate your computers, now. A GeForce FX 5200 can definitely do more than minimum graphics--I've got one and I'm running the HL2 demo with everything turned up to high (although it won't let me switch DirectX from 8 to 9) with no problems. And based on experience with several other games and demos, I'm sure that my 800 Mhz P3 will have no problem with RC. Make sure you fiddle around with the graphics settings when you get the game; you won't know what your computer can handle until you actually try it. Disclaimer: I'm running Win98, which might help performance a bit. Then again, a Ghz range processor should cancel out any of XP's extra demands...maybe.

Vertex and pixel shaders are programs that run on your GPU (which means your card has to have a GPU). They're used for things like bump mapping and water effects...if your card can run Doom 3, you're *probably* fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 The game uses the Unreal Engine. Maybe you could try another game that uses the same engine. Normally, it should also work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm sure some people will experience issues at first, until all the major video cards have issued updated drivers for the game. That always seems to happen with new titles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I can play the demo on my geforce2 integrated, with graphics on low to medium with minimal FPS drop. I'd say most of it is ram driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're used for things like bump mapping and water effects...if your card can run Doom 3, you're *probably* fine. Intel said that, I never actually said it. Which unreal engine does it use? Remember, they upgraded it, so who knows how it will be, if they added this pixel thing in then it probably won't work. I know in KOTOR they used some pixel stuff for the water, but I never saw any water. I must assume that my card doesn't support it... same with max payne and mirrors. Perhaps it just won't show the water? I'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Demo runs great for me on full settings. I notice a little burp everytime some scripted event happens (only at first, after that it's fine).
