Id say you would just about get away with it. You may have to turn down some of the eye candy though

Very unsure about that graphics card.

No, due to the video card. The CPU is fast enough. It meets the min. requirements. I should know, I ran the game on 2.0 Ghz  decently and thats below min. requirements. Check the list of what video card is needed. They are dirt cheap these days and any of those should do.

I am not sure how accurate this is but you can use this site to get a general idea. Though I am thinking that you should get a better vid card with 512mb of memory. You would be alot better off.

the simple answer is no, your cpu and graphics card wouldnt give anywhere near satisfactory performance in any game released after 2003 to be honest, and secondly anyone that has to ask others if their computer can run a game rather then being able to compare listed specs with what they bought to game on is probably unable to properly install setup and run software of computer game calibur in the first place.  so no i doubt very much yould be able to run war sir, good day.

Ah, to flame someone who knows as much about computers as you do about grammar, the simpleton life.

To the OP, you need some upgrades.  As said before, video card is struggling.  Parts are cheap enough you could easily do a lot for a little.  WAR isn't a resource hog.

You'll have to keep the eye candy down but your system is more than able to run WAR...I'd highly suggest going to atleast a 7 Series card you'll get the best bang for your buck from it.  There's also the new ATI cards they run hot but they blow away Nvidia's newest card and even the 8 series.    The 8 series is still heavily over priced tbh.

They released the minimum specs for WAR sometime ago and the Series 6 is listed...but you've got the lower end of the 6 Series.   Honestly You should save some cash and just build a new system not that what you have is bad but it is in the bottleneck range for newer games.

video card wont do

 

8800 512 mb card are cheap now

How much ram ?

I played WoW with about the same, and it played just ok,

I don't know that much about gaming engines and programming, but I could say Warhammer graphics and close to WoW, However large RvR could cause problems.

Why WAR wants a 128RAM GPU wit Pixel Shader 2.0 correct? if he has 256 thats more then enough. He just will be playing with the ULTRA PERFORMANCE setting is all.

For Windows XP

· 2.5 GHz P4 (single core) processor or equivalent

· 1 Gigabyte RAM

· A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

· At least 15 GB of hard drive space

For Windows VISTA

· 2.5 GHz P4 processor or equivalent

· 2 Gigabyte RAM

· A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

· At least 15 GB of hard drive space

Supported Video Cards

ATI Radeon(TM) series

· 9500, 9600, 9800

· X300, X600, X700, X800, X850

· X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950

· 2400, 2600, 2900,

· 9400, 9500, 9600, 9800

· GTX 260, GTX 280

Intel(R) Extreme Graphics

· GMA X4500

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

It doesnt list it but im sure ur GPU will run it. seeing as its 256mb and the geforce 6 series

thirdechelon

i wouldnt bet on it being playable, i have a 6200 in my other PC, its a piece of crap, i got it after my GF4 Ti4200 blew up. 8800GT in my current rig.

if it does run it wont look pretty, or run well. get a 8800 at least, they're crazy cheap now.

 

edit: on a side note nVidia make buget cards that arent meant of gaming, they are the 5200s 6200s 7100s 7200s 7300s 8400s 8500s, they're built for home theatre and office use only, cheap DELL PCs use them, crap at games. even variants with 512MB of RAM is still really shit, dont be fooled, do some research.

this is off min requirements, not reccomended. Min are prty much what ya need to actually boot the game, not enjoy it.

banthis

the list doesn't list everything that'll run the game.  My friend has a 7300 LE nvidia card and the Preview weekend ran great..infact she had 1 CTD while I had 3 and I have an 8600.

And his specs are on par with the Recommended settings. Only his CPU would be in question on the Recommened side.

Instead of bumping my old thread, when answering OP question, how would my xp service pack 2, 3 gigs of ram, 1.8ghz dual core and i need to buy a vid card, 8600 GT with 1 gig of ram, or an 8800 gt with 512 for double price.. not sure if I can have an 8800 in my system.
