Considering that a geforce 8800GT isn't much more than $150, same for a fast core 2 duo.....I don't think the requirements are too out of line.
With those two components and a recent hard drive, the game runs fine on High with 2 megs ram.
New patch gave me a 30% fps increase.
Originally posted by JetrpgWell I built that pc for 850 bucks, which seems reasonable and not too out of reach for quite a few people.
This is a joke right? I mean you just said you NEED THE BEST GAMING RIG OUT THERE TO PLAY THE GAME AT 35 FPS.
The 35 fps is with everything maxxed out. Most people will not be able to do that, unless they have a recent, higher end pc (but still well under $1000).
HOWEVER it still looks great on lower settings. Many will happily run it on low or medium. I was actually very surprised how good it looks on LOW.
And if you do want to run it on high...look, 8800GT's are < 200 bucks now, dual core cpus can be had for 150 bucks than can easily overclock to 3 ghz. It wouldn't cost too much to build a pc that could run this quite well.
There's issues with SLI. Try with one card. I run it quite smoothly on HIGH with a 4 ghz e8400 and a 8800GT.
Average 35 fps. If I remove environmental shadows, its 50+ fps.
"your bizarre need for reality in a game."
Umm YEAH....that's why the WHOLE PC VIDEO industry is working on better and better graphics cards, because of people's "bizarre need for reality in a game." ROFL
Where the phone? I must call Nvidia and ATI and tell them how their whole business is a waste of time.
In your opinion, what kind of gamer are you?
