    I would assume:

    Roughly 2Ghz CPU

    1gig RAM

    128 (or even 256) MB Videocard of some kind, obviously DirectX 9.0c



    Something around there would be good, I guess. It's hard to say really, looks like we're going to have to wait till some form of beta or they say so.

    Umm 1g Ram would just be nice right :) dont got that yet

    Actually, no.  While we have no clue to the minimum and recommended specs at this point, and we can only guess, I think 1GB of RAM is not unreasonable.  The industry standard of 500 MB is rather old.  A large portion of new games these days require 1GB, and many are recommending 2GB.  Merely upgrading to Vista (which is not required for WAR) needs 2GB, let alone playing games.

    Besides, RAM is cheap.

    Seriously.

    Well can i put 2 gs in a laptop and can you tell me how much it would cost and a link to where i could buy it

    Unfortunately, I couldn't do that unless I knew what your system was, that motherbourd you were using, etc.  Besides, the game isn't coming out until the end of the year, and may even get pushed back.  Better to wait until the real specs are released, because I may be wrong and WAR will run on less.

    Seriously.

    Well could you give me an educated guess of the price Of a modern day supercomputer

    I would say minimum specs should be something like:

    1ghz

    512MB RAM

    64mb or 128mb video card



    That's what i think anyway.

    ~$200 for 2gigs of ram for notebook. Decent computer costs around $1000-1500.

    Second thread on this subject today. They haven't told us what the system requirements will be, but in one of the reports from the February press event they reprted the following:



    "The system we were playing on for the test was a Laptop system with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz with 2Gb of Ram, Radeon x1600 Mobile gfx card and other standard goodies. The game was at almost max setting (no antialiasing) and was running perfectly fine with no performance issues at all."

    No way will it be that..War is far superior in graphics than WOW and remember this is a RVR game so at anyone time you might have 50-100+more people going at it.



    Take the 64MB away bthatse thats a joke and any gamer who still has a 64mb card needs to do a serious ulolade lol.



    Min Spec IMO= 1.8-2.0GHZ

                                1024Ram=1gig

                                128mb fx-series upwards graphic card

                               dx 9.c

                                56k modem

    If you can run WoW maxed out at an above average FPS then WAR should be fine at Medium settings, WAR is about massive PvP battles and grabing the WoW PvP crowd so I expect my 64'3200, 2gig, radeom 9800 laptop to run this no problems.

    I did a little bit research of your quote of the press event because I realy was curious if my PC could run this game



    I looked up futuremark and found this laptop which comes the closest to your setup and that laptop scored 7568 3Dmarks (03 version). Than I ran 3d mark '03 on my PC and scored 7463 3DMarks (with the latest Omega drivers for ATi) . I hope my conclusion is right and I should run this game w/o any big problems on the same settings as the laptop

    Not really... no.  Some graphics cards nowadays are probably bigger than some of the new laptops out there hehe.

    A little curious about this subject myself.  I just went through a 10-day buddy key with Vanguard Saga of Heros and that game pretty much chewed up my system and spit it back out.  I'm runnin a 2.4 mhz AMD processor, 1 gig of memory and an EVGA 7800GT pci-e video card, I'v got a drive dedicated to gaming so as not to bog down on the windows drive.  Twas a sad thing and now I'm a little worried, I play BF2142 just about maxed out settings with no problems at all.  I just simply have to see/play Warhammer Online in all it's glory when its released.  Perhaps it's time to move the video card to my sons computer and pick up a 8800 series card.  Also been my experience that the more memory you can afford to stick in your system the better, I'm sure another gig would be helpful.

    Hmmmm....anyone hear anything about Warhammer Online and it being written with directx 10 in mind?

    Earlier this month Jeff Hickman did an interview with Jeuxonline, and they asked that same question:


    JoL: You plan to use DirectX9 for WAR, is a DirectX10 compatibility planned? Perhaps via a later update?

    JH: We will use DX9 functions, although Vista compatibility is fully assured. It is not impossible that an update comes to introduce the use of DX10 technologies. It can all still change.

    To be fair, Vanguard's coding wasn't properly optimized, and pretty much sucked on all but the most powerful systems out there.  People often complained that the visuals they get do not reflect the graphical requirements of the game.  Other games look equally good, or better, without bringing every computer system to its knees.  In fact, Vanguard's only true claim to visual greatness is the amazing draw distance of faraway objects.

    My point is, if your system couldn't handle Vanguard, don't worry about it.  Most systems couldn't handle Vanguard.

    Seriously.

    IMO the specs would be:

    Minimum:                                                               Recomended:

    512MB of RAM                                                       2048MB of RAM

    1.6Ghz Processor                                                 3.2Ghz Proecessor

    128-MB Video Card                                              256-MB Video Card

    ??? Amount of HDD Space                                ??? Amount of HDD Space

    I think this is what you should have to be safe...

    This is my current system. Which ran Vanguard at ~45 FPS at high quality settings.


    Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX - $102.99
    Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ - $280.00
    Memory: 2048MB RAM - $169.99
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT 512.0 MB PCIe - $259.99
    Sound Devices: Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio - $90.00
    Hard Drive: WD Raptor 150GB 10,000RPM Serial ATA150 - $259.99

    I also shelled out the extra cash for a 700W Fortron Source Pwr Supply for $154.99. You could get by with a cheaper ps, of course.

    In hindsight, I'd have saved some cash on the HDD as well, and gotten a pair of WD 250GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s which currently go for about $90 each. The performance just doesn't justify the $250 price tag, imo.

    So about $1000-1200 for a perfectly decent system that will handle any of the current crop of games. Most of the prices were from when I bought the parts, some of which were almost a year ago, so the prices on some of the stuff should be less by now.

    I have basically a similar setup

    AMD 64 3500 on a 939 board

    2g of dual channel ddr400 (4x5120) which is now basically legacy ram

    2 7800 gt in sli

    2 Wd raptors in raid 0



    This runs current games ok on my LCD 1280x1020



    But I have little confidence in this config for a dx10 game.



    For gaming Vista basic running dx 10 takes 10-30% hit  in performance if running on 2gb ram vs 4gb ram.

    939 boards max out at 4gb ram.and the last proc for it is the dual core 6000 plus which seems to have dissapeard,4800+ is all im seeing.



    with am2 boards/quad core amd series boards/and new intel boards supporting 8gb of dual channel ram,raid 5,and more proc headroom.Im prolly gonna switch to an am2 board,especially since they can run 939 procs.



    Gaming ram atm isnt that cheap about $380 for a pair a 2gb dual channel sticks,obviously this will drop some over the next 6 months.



    7000 series cards don't support dx 10,so im going to need an 8800 gtx,hopefully ati/amd can get thier 600 series out soon because 8800 gtx cards are about $550 atm



    Not sure is there will be a need or not to want to add a physics card.Atm a board/ram/video upgrade for the dx10 era,is at $1,100 .



    looks like Ramon noodles 6 months for me.



    As a footnote,Microscam actually is flamming Taiwan for not building their boards with higher ram capacity,lol.

    Since we're talking about this, I have a question. Is there a good online computer parts dealer that sells new things at decent or relatively cheap prices and ships internationally? I've been looking to upgrade my computer but the prices of parts here in my country can get a bit high most of the times.
