computer spects to play this game!!!!!?

Syvel

how many ghz, how much mb 1 gig or 512? etc etc

JimmyLegs

Based on SS alone I would guess:

At least (or required) 2Ghz

1gig (possibly 2)

Very good 128mb Video Card (256+ will be absolute)



That's a rough guess, you will not get by with 512 ram unless your 1v1 in the middle of no where :P.

The key word here is "run".  If by running they mean choppy with all the settings  turned down, I would say that yes the game would run fine with 2ghz, 1 g ram and the cards listed above.  However I would be leary of buying the game with only those specs(or at least without beta testing it first).  Keep in mind that this will be the first mmo to be built around direct x 10(this could create a whole batch of other headaches).  And judging from the screen shots which look wonderful, this game will obviously take a very powerful computer to run well.  If I had to guess I would say that if you can run Vanguard well then you are in great shape, if not well then you might have issues.

I haven't been following AoC so I didn't know it was based around DirectX 10, if it is preformed best with 10 then you might need a brand spanken new PC to do (booo vista). Anyway, like the above said, and it goes with any game, wait for beta. You never know with your current PC you might be able to run AoC nicely (30-40 FPS fields/monster brawling and 20-30 FPS in towns or populated areas).



Sadly in this age it appears that you need a fairly new (1-2 years old at most in some cases) to play alot of the new age games. Oh well, that's the way the world goes to get better you must be better.

I was getting worried until I read the end of this post. Now I feel much better and thank you for the insight.

Yeah I was worried because even though I run Vanguard on it's highest settings, I know how much advanced you need to be keep up with current games and I was worried that I would be spending more and more to run this. Didn't want to go out and purchase new stuff left and right or spend 1k on some things just for 1 game. I will probably upgrade some things when it comes out, just didn't want to break the bank.

Thank you very much for the heads up.

This game is designed to be played on DX10. Which is ran on Vista, which take up 1G by itself. So at least 2G.

So shoot for that.

Yes, yes, yes, it supports DX9. Next you'll be telling me that you're on dial-up and 512m of RAM.

That's fine. You'll just be 3 sword swings behind everyone attacking you; easy blood money for me. I'm not planning to "run" the game, I'm planning on playing it.
