Two Questions...about PC Specs & Demo...


L'Equa Sinar

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, i have a question and something else to tell you all, first off i know you probably all heard this etc... but on the lucasarts page, when you go to sign up for lucasarts membership, it has a checkbox saying "Notify me of Jedi Outcast demo" i'm not sure if this means one is coming soon or one is coming whenever...but just thought i would let you know....

 

Second of all, just wanted to share my pc specs with you, see what resolution/Detail i will be able to run JO in... my pc is:

 

AMD Athlon XP+ 1600 (1400mhz)

Elite SYstems Motherboard

Gefroce 2 MXII 400 64MB DDR GFX Card

256 MB DDRRAM

5.4 GB HD Space free on 7200rpm drive

12X DVD Drive (Equivalent to what X? CD Drive?)

24X10X40 CD-R/RW

17" Belnea Monitor

 

How well do u think i should be able to run the game? I usually run games fine but always get paranoid about it!!! :)

Sinar, you're specs look good, though the MX 400 (which I have right now) tends to really suck when it comes to handling detailed texture quality and "fog" in game. From the looks of it though, there isn't much fog in the game from looking at the screenshots.

I dont think my rig is good enough for boasting is it, maybe with 512MB RAM and a Geforce 3 or 4, hee hee!! my 21st nexy month!! so who knows, although i have only had the geforce 2 for about 6 months, its handled oretty well, it handles Q3 damn well, whats the command in Q3 toget the frameate

i have a:

 

Pentium 4 1.4 ghz

Geforce 3 TI 200 64mb

384 MB Ram

16x DVD-ROM

Sound Blaster Pro Sound Card

Cable Modem :D

 

I run all my FPS games at 1024x768. Then to make the graphics even better i go to my Open GL settings for my video card and put the Antialiasing (makes lines straight instead of choppy) and i put it on manual, at 4x i believe. It really helps!! Makes the game look a WHOLE LOT BETTER and GREAT!

Don't worry about your specs

 

I have:

PIII 700mhz

Intel Motherboard

256MB PC100 SDRAM

20 GB Hard Drive (100UDMA - Slow)

ELSA Gladiac Geforce 2 MX400 64MB (Elsa gone bust BTW)

ADSL

 

In short my computer is not very fast to say the least. I will be getting a brand new rig in about a month (waiting for Geforce 4 to become available in dell systems) since my system is over due.

 

Here is how some Quake based games run on my system

 

MOHAA - 1024x768 @32bit Max Graphics, FSAA on - 50 frames

Quake 3 - 1024x768 @32bit Max Graphics, FSAA on - 90 +

RTCW - 1024x768 @32bit Max Graphics, FSAA on - 70 frames

 

So if my old bucket runs games at these frame rates your system will sail through JKII - just Defrag, run Scan Disk and make sure you have the latest drivers and your machine will fly.

My System

 

P3 800 Mhz

256M or RAM

Geforce1 32 SDR

 

its an older system and It will be affected in SP mode cause I'd like to see everything at the best I can get.. but for Multi player mode I can play quake3 at 1024x768 full graphics with true lighting on and I get a measly 90 Frames Per Second.. but with a Multi Player game graphics don't mean anything at all Its down to Frames Per Second and being able to see all the players and items in the game..

 

so I pull quake3 down to 800x600 and apply r_picmip 5 on to it which makes everything look like far worse and turns plasma bolts into transparent squares ... really ugly.. but my framerate is high.. I also make sure the neat lighting affects are off.. this eliminates shadows so no one can hide from me in the dark..

 

Multi Player will run great on my system cause the system and the graphics won't make the player..

 

it would be nice to enjoy it in single player more though

Let's try not to turn this into yet another system specs bragging thread. ; )

 

I'm sure if you have a 1+ Ghz machine with 256 mb ram or more, and a GeForce2 or higher and at least a few gigs freespace, you should have NO PROBLEM running JK2 at reasonable settings. And having broadband doesn't hurt for internet play either..

 

Having WinXp might be a problem, but if so, I'm sure a patch will be released to remedy that in short order.

I'm going to give that a try. I just bought a GeForce3 TI 200 last month and I still see lines. I hope changing that setting makes a world of difference.

Hey, I think the best way to get a rough idea of how well you can run the game is by trying RTCW and MOHAA; they're both new, quake3 based games, so they make more use of the engine than Q3A. IMHO, based on screenshots and the movies, I think JKii will fall somewhere inbetween RTCW and MOHAA in detail/performance. MOHAA has very nicely detailed models, and the environments are extra realistic, plus the addition of their very detailed trees and outdoor environments puts a bigger load on the system than say... the usual star wars arcyhitecure (crates, walls, etc etc - certainly not tree filled forests with rolling hills, with some exceptions I suppose - but for the game's sake I doubt there'll be much of anything like that).

 

The models will prolly be the real performance killers in JKii, not the architecure.

 

Personally, I'm looking forward to playing at 40-60 avg frames @1024x768 hiest detail with specs:

Athlon XP 1800+ ~1.53?

512 RAM

GeForce2 Pro (64mb) oced a lil
