NienorGT Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Right. Go figure, "ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550" But the x1550 is a rebranded x1300... http://news.softpedia.com/news/X1300-Will-...550-40422.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoXY Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Nice..C2D, 2GB, 8600m GT (128MB) Bring it on :D Now...DEMO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskren Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Usually the recommended specs are the playable minimum requirements. I guess this game has some massive textures in it if they recommend 512 MB VRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Antonius Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 who just reveiled it? ive seen it on the back of promo cases at work for nearly amonth now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Man I need money to upgrade my computer. I doubt my computer will be able to play this. I'll give it a try anyways when the demo comes out. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 grrr @ need for activation, bugs me that games are starting to do this. I reformat my system every 6/12 months and it's already annoying to deal with the OS. I don't want to have to ring up 5/6 different game companies as well! I might just get the 360 version :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 min of 8600 for Dx10? that is a joke, 8600GTS (the highest 8600) chokes running basic Dx10 demos and can't even handle Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions Dx10 demo in a window...a more realistic min would be a 8800GTS absolute min. However, the 8600 series cards should handle Bioshock fine in Dx9 mode though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of God Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I should be OK. Windows XP w/ SP2 AMD 4200+ x2 @ 2.915 ghz 2 gig G-Skill memory @ 530 mhz 8800 GTX X-Fi Fatality sound card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dud Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 This thing was made for multi-core processors. I'm not sure if it utilizes two or four, though. Regardless, I'm picking up a quad core for this and other games to come (Crysis, Alan Wake). My 8800GTS 640 is ready, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefonz Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hmm.. i'm sporting a 2gig ram, geforce 7900 GT 256MB and intel dual core E6300 (1.86ghz) should be ok to run it but no way on full textures etc, may be time to start thinking about upgrade...

Lexcyn Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Am I the only one with an HD2900XT? lol. I'll be trying this on a Q6600 (@2.8Ghz), 2GB RAM, HD2900XT 1GB ... hopefully I can get full settings. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexcyn Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Pointless/waste of money at the moment eh? :rolleyes: You are probably right, I don't think any games take advantage of anything over 512MB, but I just got it for future proofing - although my dreams were crushed when they announced DX10.1 would require new hardware, lol. I just hope I get decent settings with Bioshock (because of the issues people have been having with DX10 titles with the new ATI cards). :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
