Guest DarthMaulUK Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Without knowing fully the spec for Empire At War, most of you can perform a simple check online, thanks to Microsoft. However, this will really test your PC, however The Game Advisor database does not currently contain specific graphics card feature requirements for this game (such as T&L support, pixel shader version, etc.). Please verify that your graphics card meets the requirements set by the publisher but once you find out the make of your card, just google it to see if it has T&L for example. Also, the Game advisor will try to install a piece of software, so you might need to check your pop-up blocker to allow this to happen during the process. I would run a check against either Warhammer Dawn OF War or Rome Total War as I have a feeling that EaW will be along these lines in terms of spec Visit Game Advisor DMUK
Admiral Sith Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Oh goody, looks like I wont have to upgrade my computer. I can run almost every game they have on there, of course except the Warhammer Dawn of War ep on recommmended.
Jmaster3265 Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I don't know if i have to do this. My PC can play Guild Wars, and The Sims2.
Givike Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I have Rome: Total war and played the demo of warhammer. Both run great so np
Admiral Sith Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Post what percentage of computers where better than yours Quote My System Performance 36% of the systems scanned by the Game Advisor rank higher in performance than your system.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Your system is among the top 1% of all systems scanned by the Game Advisor. Also, the key is to ensure that graphic card drivers especially, are kept up to date. But thats for the Tech support forum DMUK
Thrawn Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Top 16%. My sound card is the weakest link. It's the same pathetic one that came with the motherboard. I've wanted to upgrade it, but it's very low on my priority list.
popcorn2008 Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Eeeekkkk.... 55%!!!!! I really need to upgrade! lol. Im gonna have to get a new graphics card Im thinking since mine has 128 MB memory. Though my computer can still play Rome Total war and Dawn of War, so I should be okay. But definetely need more RAM and graphics card. And now.... *hides in embarassment*

ALso i haven't seen any game on the site my comp can't run...
popcorn2008 Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Jmaster, your PC will most definetely be able to play EaW. You have a pretty good gaming system, how much memory does your graphics card have?

Here is the answer to your question for me. Display Card Memory 128MB
Garbageben Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 "Your system is among the top 6% of all systems scanned by the Game Advisor." I'll be able to run it no sweat and probably on mostly to all high settings.
popcorn2008 Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Just to let everyone know expect Min. specs for EaW to be released soon, LEC Rouge over at the EaW forums (official ones) posted that they are working on them right now. Here's a link: http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?threadID=96016&tstart=0
Thrawn Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Foshjedi2004, if you're looking to upgrade I personally would suggest going for a new video card. I went out and picked up a Geforce6600GT for around $120 after I discovered smoke grenades in BF2 caused the game to run slower than molasses in winter.
darthfergie Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I'm I the only one who can't get their specs read on this thing? AMD 64 3700+ SanDeigo (2.2Ghz) ATI Rad X800 GTO 256MB 1GB RAM OS -XP Pro hmmm...it reads fine until it gets to about 70-80% and then says it has technical difficulties and can not read it. Could be the firewall I'm behind that's notoriously picky, but somehow I doubt it...
Admiral Sith Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I think ill be able to play EaW on medium settings if not high, the specs should be similar to Warhammer 40,000 Dawn Of War-Winter Assault which it says i could play on Recommended settings despite being only in the 36 percentile.
Jan Gaarni Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Fosh, I would say either it's your soundcard that's dragging you down, or it's the RAM. My stats are: Processor Intel Pentium 4 3412MHz Display Card ATI RADEON X600 Memory 1536MB Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Free Disk Space 43.85GB Display Card Memory 128MB Display Driver Version 6.14.10.6553 DirectX Version 9.0c Optical Drive N/A Sound Card SB Audigy Audio [b880] So it's fairly the same as yours. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers installed. EDIT: On second thought, perhaps it is the grafics card.
