Isn't that a lot? 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.

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?! :confused:

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.

*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...

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.

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...

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...

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).

 

I've got:

 

Athlon 2400XP+ (2 ghz)

256 mb sdram (pc133 mushkin)

ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 AGP 128 mb DDR
