Now that the NDA has officially lifted I want to know what everyones current system specs are and how PS2 is running on said system. I, along with many others, have not yet played beta and are saving up money for computer upgrades.

Even though there haven't been official recommended specs I imagine most people here have a good idea on what kind of system people should play PS2 on. I know it is definitely more CPU intensive than most games, and I don't want to waste money on upgrades that wouldn't make much of a dent. My new system will be a 3 ghz i5, 8gb ram, geforce 460 1gb. How do you think that will handle PS2?

Your rig shouldn't do too badly for PS2. I had a motherboard failure not long before I got in the Tech Test, and so I'm currently playing on an Intel dual-core E2160, which was a budget CPU 6 years ago, which I've OCed from 1.8 GHz @ 200 MHz FSB to 3.0 GHz @ 333 MHz FSB.

For RAM I've got 4 GB of DDR2, and for graphics I'm using an AMD 5750 with the GPU OCed from 700 to 860 MHz and with 1 GB of memory OCed from 1150 to 1420 MHz.

I tend to average around 30 FPS or so, going as low as 5 FPS in huge battles, 20 in mid-size battles. I run 1680x1050 with low settings. I can get reasonably better frames (consistent 30+ with occasional dips to 15) if I run 1240x1020 or whatever it is, but I feel like I have no peripheral vision.

Cool! Thanks for the quick reply! I really want to play PS2 above average settings though because I hate when I strutter in game at smaller battles. I want to play it comfortably so should I start saving up for a better video card or a better cpu? If so, which ones?

I haven't payed any close attention to technology since I built my last computer which was 5 yrs ago so I am out of the loop on this sort of thing.

Right now my 2500K and 7950 gets pinned into the 30s in big battles with everything high at 1920x1080. I doubt you will be running above average settings with that 460. Probably medium with some higher options enabled.

2 Quad CPU q6600 overclocked to 3.00ghz
Nvida 460 756 memory
3 gb memory
32 bit Vista

From what i understand ,as of right now if you have a 32-bit OS your going to crash all the time.

2500K
8GB G-Skill
1GB GTX460

Running on High @ 1080p, about 30-60 Frames depending where I am, and how busy the screen is :D Obviously the more busy, the less frames, but it is 100% playable. Actually runs better than I was hoping :D

That is good news. A 6850 will run this game well and by those numbers a 7770 should do just fine on medium/high.

Q6600 clocked @ 3.0ghz
8GB DDR2
HD6850

I play on low settings, 1900x1200, i get around 40-50 FPS around the warpgate when nothing is happening. In a medium battle i get around 20fps and when it gets busy it can drop even lower to a slide show. My rig can run most games on high settings comfortably but i think my CPU is really holding me back playing PS2.

From the looks of it, can we assume that your graphics card will determine your maximum fps and your cpu will determine how much it fluctuates between high and low frames per second.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHZ, 4 Cores, 8 logic processors

CPU: Intel Q9550 @ 2,83 GHz
GPU: Radeon HD 4870
RAM: 4GB DDR2

With everything on medium and at 1680x1050, it runs quite okay. Not ultra-fluid but definitely playable.
btw, is there an in-game command to show the fps?

CPU: i7 3820 - 3.60GHz, Graphics: GeForce 680's SLI, RAM: 8GB, OS: Win7 64Bit

SLI isn't optimized yet so I am not using it.

my sig below,anywhere from from 15 to 30 frames spanned across 3 screens,most of the time it sits at about 25 frames depending were i am,i stay out of big battles,i play primary sniper,so i like going behind the lines and cause havoc

6850 plus 3 screens seems like a bad idea in general. Not shocked by your performance in game. I wouldn't expect to ever is playable. Time to invest in a new card IMO.

If its that unplayable you are better off with one screen.

Use Alt+F to get FPS to show up. No other metrics in currently like ping.
