Will your desktop/laptop run PS2? ***Ask here*** - Page 19

GreenBanana · 2012-08-07, 05:41 PM

Before seeing this thread I thought that my PC would run PlanetSide 2 on high with little to no problems.
Now i'm worried.

CPU: Intel i7-2600k 3.4MHz
RAM: 8GB
GPU: Radeon HD 6850 2GB
OS: Win 7 premium x64

Can I at least get medium?

Addsome · 2012-08-08, 10:34 PM

Any chance I can even run the game on min settings at anything above 1280x1024?

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
GPU:GT 240 1GB GDDR5
RAM:6GB DDR2
OS:Win 7 64bit

I just want anything above 25 FPS.

Banana: Medium? yeah High? maybe

Addsome: I really don't know. The CPU is fairly old and that graphics card is pretty bad and old.

I doubt it.

Your GPU is more or less a re-branded 9600GT and well below a 8800GT in performance.
Your CPU is about on par with a mid range 1st gen core 2 duo.

Both of which we have been told are at or below the 'wont be fun' line.

This Link tells me that I pass min reqs and can atleast at low. Is it really that wrong?

Basterus · 2012-08-09, 01:13 PM

Here are my current vague specs (I didn't build it so I'm not entirely sure of other parts e.g mobo, sound card):

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
RAM: 4GB
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @2.33hz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9600GS

I'm fairly certain that wouldn't be enough. I was thinking to build a new PC for Planetside. Graphics wise I'd go for a Radeon 6770 (£70), 8GB of Ram and then an AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 (£80)for the processor. However, I'm not entirely sure about the processor as I've heard it's not very good for gaming. I might go for a Phenom 2 instead if that's the case.

Do you guys agree that yes, PS2 would suck on my current PC, and do you have any input on where I can improve my planned build without spending much more than I currently plan to for those parts.

Edit: My monitor is 1600x1200 max.

Those are not official. Simply a guess and those have been around for ages. Do not go by them.

Processor is OK, GPU not so much. You will benefit from upgrading the GPU. However I don't recommend getting any FX series CPU. They are weak, especially that FX-4100. If you are looking for a whole computer look into the Core i5 3450. Video card wise I wouldn't go with anything below a GTX 460 or 6870.

Duskguy · 2012-08-10, 08:41 AM

so in a tweet they claimed gameplay will be more cpu intense than gpu.

with that in mind, i have a 1 gig 550ti and th chart says i'd be middle of the road, wwhich i dont mind too much so long as th frame rates dont drop below 30, and im sure there will be plenty of options to turn on and off to optimaliz my frame rates.

my new computer will be running a AMD FX-8150 3.60 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology and 8 gigs of ram with the nvidea 550ti.

my question is, with the combinatin of a good cpu and ram amount with the middle of the road gpu, will i be able to run high graphics, or would i still likely be stuck at the middle range?

edit: i plan on playing on a 26 inch tv, ont have the computer yet so cant say what the pixel options would be for that

Goku · 2012-08-10, 09:58 AM

Dusk if you didn't buy that please make a thread to get proper advice. I would avoid any FX series CPU.

In regards to the settings. Totally unsure. Depends on what the final product will look like come release.

Golfballfred · 2012-08-10, 01:37 PM

Hey guys!

Now that beta is going I'm hoping I can get some solid feedback on how well I should be able to run PS2.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
Memory: 10240MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460

I know the video card will probably need a replacement and am looking for advice on what I should upgrade too.

Thanks!

Rbstr · 2012-08-10, 02:26 PM

GTX690. (...Looking for recommendations without some kind of budget restriction, or even monitor resolution...)

And just in general for other people:
At some point, you think people might look through the thread to see if they have extremely similar specs to those that have posted before them.

Martelli · 2012-08-10, 08:06 PM

I'm currently running my ASUS Laptop, but will be building a new computer in a month or two, but here are my specs for my laptop, think it'll do?

Intel Core i3 CPU M350 @ 2.27 GHz 2.27 GHz
4 GB of RAM
Windows 7 64-bit OS
Radeon HD 5470 1GB

Kinda noob with specs and all that, so if I'm putting this out wrong, let me know.

Thanks!

Pretty low chance IMO. I don't see it running the game at all.

I recently got a pretty good laptop for college, and it is pretty solid but it isn't really made for gaming-I mainly need it for architecture classes. I'm wondering if I could at all squeeze PS2 out of this? I don't think it will run well with the graphics card, which sucks because it will be a long time before I can get a new rig.

Windows 7 Professional 64
Intel i7 Quad core
16GB ram
Nvidia Quadro 2000M 2GB (Probably the achilles heel?)

I can get more specific stats, but I'm on a different computer right now.

The CPU and GPU should be up for the game. I just don't know if the drivers are going to be quirky when you are trying to play the game. You really need this for classes? I'm surprised TBH.
