Im tellin you - all of you guys that are wondering how well you can run JKII - Im tellin you right now, if you can run Quake 3 at 1024x768 medium detail, then you can run JKII at 800x600 medium detail EASY. Ken Hoekstra said: JKII is close to Quake 3.

LOL! Really though, how is that your friend's problem?

UPgrade nazies my ass.

 

The fact is, there's no excuse NOT to upgrade. Ram is cheap, Cpu's are cheap. Check http://www.pricewatch.com

 

You get a 1gighertz Athlon for under $70. 256 megs of ram for under $50. I mean, if this isnt cheap enough then you need a different hobby. Period.

 

Also, if you run q3 ok doesnt mean JK2 will run fine. Jk2 is based on the Q3:Team Arena code base, which is more demanding then the original q3.

I have Quake 3 and I was stupid enough to get Quake 3: Team Arena, it is basicly Quake 3 with a few new moves. The graphics and everything else is EXACTLY the same.

I have a MAtrox G400 MAX P3 1GHZ and a 512mb of RAM do you think I will be able to run JK with all the trimmings?

 

True engine requirements will not necessitate game requirements, meaning that there could simply be more polygons and textures on the screen then QA3. Thus raising the system requirements, but we are forgetting something, this is an LEC product and that means that if the system requirements are too high, they won't release a game. Remember that their games have always run great on any system...

 

They also have the largest beta team you've ever seen, and i hope you realize that there was never but a single patch for JK, only to fix the cross hairs problems with V2.

 

I have a radeon 8500 but driver issues with ATI piss me off and MAtrox is just great with their support team.

I myself listen to the upgrade nazis....that, and my hard drive crashed, so I said, "Hey, what a time to upgrade! I won't JUST get a new hard drive, I'll get a new everything else too!" Luckily for me, my parents were nice enough to pay for it as an early graduation present (and cuz i got a nice scholarship to UMass Lowell). Anyway....I ordered fun stuff. Think THIS will run the game ok?

 

Athlon XP 2000+

512MB PC2100 Crucial RAM

Abit KR7A-133 Mobo

Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM ATA100 Hard Drive

PNY GeForce3 Ti 500

A nice generic case from pcpowerandcooling.com (mid-tower)

A nice power supply from pcpowerandcooling.com (350w)

Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse

 

Personally, I think the game will run well, though I think the mouse will cause problems and bottlenecks and cause the game to run at 10fps. But other than that I think I'm all set :)

I was reading Mein Kamph and in it the Furher said that you should upgrade to at Least a 1Ghz machine. He also said to go for physically dominant 512MB of Ram and the pure superior blood line of Nvidia Graphics cards.

 

 

He then babbled off about cloning and other genetic selections. opps my fault, that was CNN.

I want to play this game just as much as the next guy. I most certainly hope it runs at least in the ok area for me.

 

Heck this will be the first time in over 2 years that I will be purchasinga a game that will be at least 50 bucks. Most other games I waite till there is some price dropage....
