How will my computer fair?

AeronisAeronis Member Posts: 231
in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Windows XP

AMD 64 3000+

2 Gig RAM, probably 266mhz.

Asus K8NE-Deluxe, Nforce 3.

Radeon X800 XL 256MB, AGP.



The video card is a weakpoint, I know, but I'm also thinking the CPU won't be enough and the RAM is an older speed.

I could just upgrade the video card, but then I don't think I'd get much out of it without upgrading the whole deal and getting a PCE video card.

    should be alright with a new video card. how fast is the ram? like mine is PC 4000.... but guessing at 266mhz... must not be to high... 2700?

    You need new computer or wait for WAR, your computer will be enough for it

    what you need to do is wait untio the open beta for lotro on march 30th and you will see that the game looks great and plays on really low end pc's

    And your basing this assumption on what?

    this guy didnt ask if he could play WOW or lotro, or warhammer online. moron. he asked if vanguard will work. and like i said. all you really need is a new video card. BUT you will probley need a new power supply for the card AND a better fan most likely

    I have 2 gigs of pc 4000 DDR. you could just do that. AND AGP is plent fast if you go for this card

    You'll be just fine.  It wont run perfect, but you could easily play enjoyably without upgrading.  My system is somewhat similar, but I have a slower CPU, but a little better GPU, and I have room to complain, but I can play it on an enjoyable level.

    im running balanced at 1280x1024 with all the hdr features on, application preference on everything except my catalyst ai turned to high on the following system pretty well.  had a lot of fun all night so far.

     

    amd x2 3800+

    2 gigs ddr2 533

    x1950pro 256mb vid card

    vista home premium

    onboard sound.

     

     

    diplomacy rocks.  but remember, this is unreal engine 3.  for you mmo guys, what this means is, this is the same engine that gears of war on the xbox 360 is running.  its HARDCORE in the shaders department.  that x800 will run it, but dont expect hardly any eye candy.

     

    im diggin this so far tho, EXCELLENT additon to my station account.  did i mention diplomacy rocks?

    Games i'm playing right now...

    getting me a little worried about the spec's needed to play Vanguard,

    i have a amd 64 3400 with 1.5gb ram

    leadtech 6800 gt 256mb graphics

    audigy 2 sound

    xp home

    i've had the computer a little while now, and its played just about everything pretty well so far, runs oblivion really well etc, so just how demanding is vanguard compared to other mmo's? and am i going to have a problem, besides the ram that is, i know i could really use having 2gb instead of just 1.5gb.

    Radeon X800 GTO series will run it fine right?

    with my athalon 3700+ processor and gig of ram
  • cerebrixcerebrix Member UncommonPosts: 566

    i wouldnt run this on anything less than 2 gigs of ram.  thankfully ram is cheap these days
