anyone actually play this with hardware around min requirements?

amd 64 3200
1024 ram
9800 pro(128mb)
im right past min but has anyone actually played with specs like that? hows the fram rate on low?
Comments
haha yes man ofc
my rig
amd 1700xp@ 1.9ghz
2gig ram
gf 6800gt
and it runs like shit. hardwarelag over the place. but i assume that the lag mostly comes dure the shortage of ram. 2 play smooth i need like 4 gb.
still enjoyed it very. played those squids or how theyre called. and loved them in rvr. distance dmg 4tw.
i will play again, when they reopen the cb tester keys on the 18.
Seen it on a
AMD64 3500+, 1 gig RAM, GF FX5900 128Mb, WinXp
and it ran half-way decent on absolute, rock-bottom minimum settings. My buddy said he would try to improve visuals but the frame rate dropped horribly.
Hope that helps, good luck to you.

you will have some issues in larger scale pvp battles. Just remember to run on lowest setting when pvping. and switch when running pve.
Oh ya, watch out for dying in main cities at low lvl apparently ther are no police in game got ganked 3 times by robber NPCs in Aldorf. running through ally.
is my ati 9800pro above or below that GF FX5900?
It's sad. You don't get much for the hardware required to be honest.
Lol, most companies are a bit too optimistic with min reqs.
I can't reccomend anyone run any game close to the official min reqs. Today you need at least 2 gig RAM and a graphicscard like the Nvidias 8000 serie and multicores to run any new game good whatever the box say.
A computer age very fast today.
Yeah, the requirements are insanely high; who would have thought your 2.5 single-core, 64mb integrated graphics and 512 RAM would have trouble running a new online game where typical world RvR is 30+ on each side. Save your money and upgrade, parts are cheap.

Its slightly better than the 5900.
Core i5 13600KF, BeQuiet Pure Loop FX 360, 32gb DDR5-6000 XPG, WD SN850 NVMe ,PNY 3090 XLR8, Asus Prime Z790-A, Lian-Li O11 PCMR case (limited ed 1045/2000), 32" LG Ultragear 4k Monitor, Logitech G560 LightSync Sound, Razer Deathadder V2 and Razer Blackwidow V3 Keyboard
My brother-in-law plays on a 32 bit socket 462 system with a decent framerate. He said he actually lags less in RvR than in PvE.
You need so much becuase the size of pvp battles. It is a lot of info to process. Graphics are good just not like AOC but we all see how HIGHEND GRAPHICS can make a game unplayable by most of gaming peeps. One of the main reasons wow is so popular is that almost any system can run it with ease. Mythic needs textures the way they have it to run massive cities sieges(you will thank them later
trust me)
The 5900 and the 9800 pro are pretty much on par. I had both on one of my older gaming rigs.
First thing I'd do if I was you -> get more RAM and upgrade to one of those insanely cheap 8000 series GeForces. nVidia has thrown so many new chipsets out on the market that they've dropped heavily. Since the GTX280 is out you won't spend much more than 180 bucks for RAM AND card.

It runs pretty smoothly. I only encounter some slight hitching/lower fps (albeit still around 20ish at least) in forests, or where there are a lot of particle effects.
Scenarios and RvR were VERY playable, although I had it on maximum FPS. I could have customized it to run faster, however, so I'm very impressed with the performance overall.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.
Nope. Don't be a fool. RAM isn't your problem, you are just throwing money out of window.
If you bought 100GB of RAM, your performance would not increase even by 1%. Your CPU and GPU are to blame.
will there be a free trial soon?
depends on the initial success...
MY gfx card recently died before trying WAR, so I had to use a 6600, I could play with mid range gfx settings however at times ( near zone edges) I'd get a horrible stutter, which seemed to get worse and worse as OB neared close. Everything else on my pc is above min. Seems to tax your gpu more than anything else.

I have a bout the same setup as the Op:
AMD 3200+
1G of Geil
and a xfx 8600gt xxx
I must same over Performance threw the game a Defenet 2G should be used, the cpu was ok never peaked past 90% useage and the video was excellent. Semi-jerkyness and/or lag take your pick.
Btw love the game but still rough, glitching in buildings falling threw stair ways in RvR probably caues of lag.
The issue isn't so much your RAM.. it's the video memory on your GPU and your CPU. RAM is mostly load times. So you'll notice very little lag when you're loading into the game for the first time that day, or when you're going between load points (flight paths)... Your CPU and video memory affect what and how much you can take on your screen without performance issues. As a previous poster said, you can have 20gigs of RAM and not see any improvement in large scale combat from 4gigs. Well, almost no improvement anyways. However, if you make the jump from 512 mb of memory to 1gig of memory or more on your GPU, you'll see an enormous boost in performance in large fights, and in FPS in general. Also, no matter how much memory your GPU can handle, it won't matter unless you have a CPU that can actully process data fast enough for the memory to affect your gameplay. This is often what we'll call choking. Ultimately, you need a little bit of all three. And even more memory and CPU power to do large-scale PvP.
NEVER play on minimum requirements. You'll get lowest settings with horrible framerates. It's just the bare minimum to actually run the game. The lowest I'd suggest is the recommended on the box.
This isn't you. I'm running a 9800 gtx, 8 gigs of ram, and a OC'd dual core @3.2ghz, 10k raptor HD.. and I get a stutter when going over zone lines as well. It has to do with the whole seemless world thing.. there are invisible load lines. Though, WoW did a decent job fixing that annoyance. Nothing really to whine about though. Unless of'course, you're in a fight on that line and lose because you got locked up.
It actually doesnt run that badly on my laptop, X1400 radeon 2 gig of ram and dual core pentium of sometype
----ITS A TRAP!!!----
Ouch, that's a pretty outdated spec. Any Pc gamer still using that should be slapped and asked to leave the Pc gamer building. That's like turning up to a F1 race trace in a 1982 ford escort.The only good thing a rig like that would be good for is a door stopper. I wouldn't even subject anybody to it just to use e-mail or surf.

How long does it last for you? It would begin about 200 game ft from the area and let up about 400 ft past. Just wondering for comparative purposes.

An AMD 1700xp @ 1.9 ghz? only if your overclocking it massively. Either this cpu or the mobo that it's running on is likely your bottleneck.
Your two gigs of ram is fine, in fact, if your running XP it won't even access 4 gigs of ram so putting it in would be pointless.
It should run ok on a 6800, I have seen it running on a pcie version of a 6600gt, ran smooth enough at min settings. Not going to win any fps competitions but it was playable.
I've seen it on a
C2Duo 8400 with one of those new GTX280 beasts that just substituted a former 8800 GTS today and I can say that the GPU is a HUGE factor for mass RvR. That guy had the settings mainly on "high" with his former GPU and got about 30, 40 FPS external program. With the 280 he's at 120 FPS.
So transporting this to lower end systems I'd say a GPU with large amounts of VRAM will come in VERY handy with many textures objects and animations going on.
This game is definitely less CPU-dependent than other MMORPGs.
