[Stival Discipal]

Thanks!

 

If this is true its very good to know...

[Jamps]

I sure hope this is true, thats not really demanding for such a beautiful game.

 

My laptop could run this!

[Jan Gaarni]

It's true, that is the minimum specs.

[Admiral Sith]

Woohoo! Thats some pretty low specs, most people should be able to run it, probably even on the recommended or Maximum specs.

[Guest DarthMaulUK]

wow. I am so hung over. Yes these are the specs. They were sent to me with the Q&A I have for Monday

 

DMUK

[DarkLeeLee]

yeah does seem low, i cant wait to get the recommended specs and that

[THrawn((9]

yes if thats any indication my pc's gunna walk through this game. anyway i've posted them on the PFF forums so theres no need any one else who was going to and DMUK hope ur hang over gets better (ha ha Your fault drinking to much.)

[Darth_Extas]

Great... I wonder what the Reccomended Specs are

As well what the other information that is comming up.

[CondorFalco]

If those are the min specs, do you expect that the game would still be able to be run on the latest hardware (like dual-core, hyper-threading processors, and the Geofrce 7 series GPU)? Just there have been a few game recently that seem to not have supported this kind of hardware on release recently. I know that we still have about 2 months still to wait for the game.

[Darth_Extas]

Well it would not be fair for anyone else now would it...Too High-Quality System Specs... The Less people can play the game because less people have such High Quality system specs...But what we should be worrying about now is what the reccomended system specs are.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

Yes...good find. It will definitely on my PC.

[Lew]

A highly-scalable graphics engine is good, especially on a strategy game.

 

*two thumbs up*

[lukeiamyourdad]

I'm sticking this so that everyone who comes here will know the min specs.

 

It will avoid some repeat threads For now.

Indeed, Recommended specs are the part I'm worried about. And even then, sometimes the recommended specs are really somewhat low. Judging from the minimum specs though, it should be pretty much spot on with what many other games have posted.

 

Minimum specs Rome: Total War

Pentium® III 1.0GHz (1000MHz) or Athlon 1.0GHz (1000MHz) processor or higher

256MB RAM

100% DirectX® 9.0b compatible 16-bit sound card and latest drivers

DirectX® 9.0b

3D hardware Accelerator Card Required - 100% DirectX® 9.0b compatible 64MB Hardware Accelerated video card and the latest drivers.

[Toa Tahu]

I never thought the minimum specs could be so low. Possibly good for one ground battle or two, but I'll suspect it'll lag big time in the space battles on my 4-year old computer... :'(

[popcorn2008]

I will definetely be able to run it then! Even my office computer could technically run it even though that thing is ancient. I should be able to get high quality as well, which will be awesome!

[Darth Alec]

Wow, my laptop can play this. and this has been in constant work since 1999.

[Rogue15]

ah so if i could run force commander i could run this. good. XD

[xSiri_Tachix]

wow.

 

I thougt that EAW would require higher system specs after watching the vids and reading the previews.

 

I'm going to buy another comp soon anyways, because both my current computers have problems. I've saved about a thousand bucks so far, and I'm relieved I don’t need an uber high end system.

[Admiral Sith]

But an uper high system would be able to play it better, and you could change its graphics from horrible(minimal specs) to good(recommended specs).

Yeah. Thats true. I'm going to go with 1gig of ram and the best processor I can get. As for video cards, I may have to upgrade it because most "out-of-the-box" systems don't come with a very good card.

[Givike]

don't overreact, 512 ram is more than in enough to run this. It's enough for Rome TW and Warhammer. So np.

The computer I'm looking to buy should run all the new games at least for a couple of years or so.

 

I'm probably going to stick with a Pentium because I had a bad experience with my Atholon processor in my other computer. I’m using my “back-up” computer because my newer one “burned” up. It sure did put out a lot of heat. I didn’t like that about the Atholon series.

[Givike]

That's why I never buy Athlons
