How would my system fare in the game? I played in beta and it was abysmal. But I know my system is by no means "bad".



Intel Pentium DualCore 3.0 Ghz

2 Gig of RAM

ATi  x1600



How many FPS on High Quality? Balanced?



Thanks guys!

    I would say the highest setting you could possibly run it on would be balanced.  Probably lower in towns, lots of people, etc.

    i have the SAME video card, and same amount of RAM mine is PC4000... and im gonna give you the same answer someone gave me.

    upgrade your video card to this www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp

    and it will run on full =) right now it will be medium. BUT if its NOT AGP... get the PCI one as it is faster =)

    Agree. If you can take the 1950XT version as you will still get decent frame rates with all the settings maxed out and 16x anisotropic (and anti-aliasing should also be coming in one of the next patches).





    Edit: If you are concerned about image quality and for any personal reason you prefer nvidia, don't take anything less than the 8800 series as you cannot enable anti-aliasing together with HDR lightning with the nvidia cards prior to the 8800. This is not an issue with ati.)

    Add 1 Gb ram (2GB are needed, the game uses more than 1GB ram on my system).



    With this gfx card you will probably play at balanced settings. If you want to max all your settings out get an ati x1900xt-512.

    Compared to my system and to what I have seen during several weeks on the beta forums and other forums, I think you should be somewhere around high quality (but not highest quality)...  but then maybe as you don't have a dual core cpu (this definitely helps the game), you could be at balanced with some of the settings pushed up further.

    Thanks. Reminds me of Everquest2.

    Outside you will run in high quality np at all. In the city we are all running at high performance in the busy areas like the crafting houses because the whole thing grinds to a halt woth FR at about 3-4 fps. If you drop to highest performance you can get 10-15 but it still stutters and hangs .

    Not a problem as no one cares when crafting anyway. Great game BTW will be nice to sort the FPS out in town though.

    Nice to hear that, thanks. I kind of expected that the cities would have bad framerate. It was like that in SWG for me.

    To compare with something, with a core2duo, raid0 HD and an ati x1900xt-512 i get 20-24 FPS in the most busiest city areas with all settings maxed out and 16x anisotropic filtering. No stutters.

    Looking to get a new computer myself in a month or two. Probably Dual Core (in fact will be). Still looking into it.

    What requirments do you need to install a Dual Core processor on a motherboard? might be better to see if I can place one on my current system.

    You can run on highest quality but turn off shadows and clouds.

    thinking of building a new kind of cheaper sytem, how would this run on vanguard?



    AMD Athlon 3800+ 2.4GHz

    2 Gigs of Ram

    160GB Hard Drive

    Nvidia Geforce 7950 GT

    Ram is very important in this game.  If you can get 2GB, you must do so.  I checked my system and noticed VG was consuming over 1 GB of memory!  I've never seen a single process consume that much.   My buddy has 1GB of RAM and the game runs well but at times hits his HD pretty hard.  My HD, on the other hand, never seems to get hit.

    Luckily, i don't need you to like me to enjoy video games. -nariusseldon.
    In F2P I think it's more a case of the game's trying to play the player's. -laserit

    Thanks guys!

    With the tweaks and texturedetailworld=5 no reason why you can't play on highest quality. I do and my system is similar to yours except slower CPU and ATI X800. Your system will eat Vanguard for breakfast in its current condition, but the tweaks will really help.

    Laptop -- (Alien M9700)

    2.4ghz AMD Turion

    2gig DDR dual Channel

    Sli-7900gt go's

    Raid 0 - 80 gig sata's

    SB Audigy ZS pcmcia sound





    Vanguard settings = Balanced

    Volumetric Cloads = Off

    Resolution = 1440 x 900

    HDR = ON

    Boom Setting = on

    Clip Plain in the 500,000 area (aka about half, slightly less)



    FPS in open area's (woodlands ect.) = 25 to 45 bouncing --- AVG sits around 30 - 32 fps

    FPS in CITY's and townships = 20 - 30 bouncing -- AVG sits around 20 - 22 fps



    Keep in mind that VGSoh is not optimised for SLI systems at this time,  and TMK Dual Core cpu's are not fully utilised as of yet either.  If you have a desktop machine that matches or is close to this laptop..... The game should run fine =)
