Will it run?

Hey there
Yes, this is another 'Will my computer run this game?' thread an I understand you are probably sick of them so any feedback is appreciated. Basically I want to know will my PC run AoC when it is released and what settings will I be looking at (low/medium/high). My specs:
Athlon X64 3200+ (2.00GHz rated at 3.20GHz, 512KB Cache). This is the biggest let down of my system tbh, as my motherboard is a socket 939 and I can't find a decent priced dual core 939 anywhere. And I live in the UK btw, no stores seem to have the dual-cores instock atm.
2GB DDR Ram (I usually have about 1.5/1.6GB free when I'm running the PC, as other processes take up some of the memory).
Radeon HD3850 256MB (PCI-E)
Thanks for your help and time.

People always tell me to go there, but that doesn't actually give any insight on to how well you will be able to run the game, just if you can or you can't, so it doesn't really help me at all tbh so I stopped using it these days.
think the ram and vid card are good enough, i suggest to replace your processor with a AMD opteron dualcore, pretty expensive for 939 sadly but it will do the trick
MMOs currently playing: -
About to play: Lord of the Rings Online
Played: Anarchy Online (alltime favorite) and lots of f2p titles (honorable mentions: 9Dragons, Martial Heroes, Dekaron, Atlantica Online)
Hey D3mo, can you use this, to Run Age of Conan
Minimum:
OS: Windows Vista/XP
Processor: 3GHz Pentium IV
RAM: 1GB RAM
Video Card: Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM: NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800
Recommend:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (E6600) or better
Vdeo Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better
RAM: 2GB or more
Enhanced for: DirectX 10, 64-bit processors, multi-core
I have a 9800 pro lol. I might JUST be able to play on lowest settings
I believe the real question on all our minds is...
Will it blend?

Couldnt answer you properly, its still on beta.
And have a lot of good point are in this game.
* have u notive im not speaking english ? kinda normal im not sry *
This pretty much verifies my thoughts on the settings situation. The minimum settings are a joke and the recommended settings are quite "meh." If I want it to look like something when I'm playing I'm gonna have to get my credit card out. No suprise....
Please keep me (us) posted on your results with the vista 64 and 6 gigs.

I guess I'm not gonna be spending my money on AoC then if it's gonna run like crap on my system, I'll hold on for WAR which is what I've been waiting for all along tbh.

You need to keep in mind if you want to play future game you need descend system, actually I understand what you mean.
And actually I did study in computer and I work in that everyday, I build computer and do it part by part, and I can tell you something
Take Everquest 2 and try to put this game on max everything wihout letting any option down ...
You will not succes the game itself dosent support it, I think we meet here the same with AoC, tell that optimization or whatever but with an extrem intel core and 2 vid
Not everyone has the money to go out and buy a new system at the drop of a hat or upgrade their current one just to play a game. I for one cannot do that, which is why I intend playing WAR, as the graphics requirements that I've heard (or rumoured), I should be able to run it pretty well on high/maxed out settings so that will do for me.
War will have the same system requirements as AoC or very very similar upon release.
With your setting you will be able to play AoC just fine I reckon on a medium setting.
Thing is with AoC there is your typical low, med, high stuff, but then a few pages of details such as draw distance, texture fill rate etc. From what I saw at the community event.
You want to play the game maxed out, then you will need a better system. They designed it so it would scale up to the best systems and push at the high end, on the flip side the minimum requirements are pretty low.
I think war's graphics are like lotro his res to be honest, so if you want to try that out based on hear say thats your choice.
At the end of the day best way to gauge performance is play a trial, or get a buddy key, there will be plenty floating around at launch. If not make sure you apply to beta and try the open beta just before launch.
At the end of the day socket 939 is dead its a shame, but you have to move with the times. You could pick up a new motherboard and processor for under £90.
I can turn all the setting up on runescape ~ doesn't make the game any better
Just because something is set to high doesnt make it a better experience.
My PC:
AMD 4000+ Athlon FX
7600GT 256MB overclocked at 630/840
2GB of DDR2-800 RAM
7200 RPM HDD
Lowest settings engine looks bad, plays insufficiently...
To make it look good you gotta go medium and up -> sluggish and I suppose for the kind of real-time combat its trying to sell its performance will be a vastly limiting factor.
So for this game, it should be really consumer friendly on performance or it will die in a fire of hype (let's all try to do combos while we get 12fps = frustration, let's go back to WoW or whatever else we were playing 2 days ago).
I'm really hoping it will not be this way when it's out cause it would be a shame...
My 2 cents

WAR's graphics look comparable to WoW and LotRO, WoW I can play maxed out with awesome framerates (who can't these days lol) and LotRO I can play on Very High (just one setting below maxed out) settings at very playable framerates and it looks awesome so I'm hoping that I will be able to run WAR at high (or very high depending on how their settings go) or maxed out at good framerates.
Edit: I play both games at 1280x1024 btw, as thats my native desktop res.
I won't even bother talking about minimum req's. What is the point? Why would you play a game that supports Dx10 and all the other goodies if you never plan on actually being able to use any of those things? Seems silly to me.
Dual core CPU. Quad cores are a waste for gaming.
2GB of DDR2, if you really only have DDR, shoot yourself. I'd recommend 4GB(running Vista)
Your current card will run the lowest settings. I'd suggest anything 512MB and above.
How about we just buy a new MB supporting LGA 775. How did you even menage to get 939 socket?
Anything else?
Basically I got this PC off my parents, it was originally the family PC but my sister got a laptop and my parents stopped using this PC a lot so they gave it to me and just use my sisters laptop now so I decided to upgrade the graphics card and add an extra gig of memory. My old system was pretty crap for gaming, worse than this PC for sure and it couldn't run anything slightly modern, apart from games from like 2004/2005 and maybe a few from 2006 on lower settings.
I doubt I will bother with AoC then tbh if I'm not gonna be able to run it that good.
What games are you playing right now? That might help.

It seems like you'd need a new MB, ram, cpu and psu. Plus, if you wanted vista, I doubt the stuff you have now would be compatible. With XP, still.. unless you can run Tabula Rasa on medium or LOTRO on very high.. don't even think about playing AoC on anything other than the lowest settings.Oh, for other people with 6800 Ultras, it isn't compatible with Vista.. hehe.
My PC can run Lord of the Rings Online on Very High with no problems though...I usually get between 30-50FPS when running around questing and fighting. I can run stuff like Battlefield 2142, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, Hellgate London, Call of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament 3 on either High or Maxed out settings smoothly and get good, playable framerates with them.
Same for me - You'll probably get same performance as I would
I wouldn't say this place is entirely accurate. I have tested my laptop n said I failed to meet requirements to play AoC. But it also told me I failed to be able to play Vanguard , LotR and Oblivion, all of which I can run just fine on my laptop.
On AoC, you won't really know until you try it.
Watch the latest episode of "The Guild" and other Pwnage videos from around the net--also post your own: http://PwnerTV.com
I tried the site and it said i failed because of my vid card. However my vid card exceeds the min it appears the only problem is my card is not Nvidea
You'll be fine then.. but on low to medium settings. JMO though. Probably medium settings.
Hey Everyone,
Most of you guys are pro's in mmorpg's. I value your opinion more then most people I know. I like to know if I can run AOC, I know this is an annoying question it's just I don't have that much time to have a chance and ask. I have
3.73 P4 I know 3 ghz P4 is needed I do have the reconddmended other things like 3 gig of ram and a nvidia 7950. I would be happy with medium settings till I get a new system next year. i usually get a new system every 4 years. I value your opinion could I run this game and play it. If So, could I run it on medium .
Thanks again
