The gtx 670 is 400 bucks on newegg. I will not be getting one of those babies any tome soon.

I'm sure the game will run well on lower hardware. It's good that the high-end graphics look great and run smooth on tech we currently have.

i hope my gtx 550Ti superclocked can run this, its gonna be close.

MrBloodworth · 2012-06-08, 08:56 AM

Yeah, I can't imagine that's an average gamers card. Being a F2P title, obviously they need to shoot for the average set up.

550TI? It will clearly run the game, but i wont bet on what settings. Maybe all High, maybe you have to turn some stuff down a bit.

also added the link to my 570 :>

They did say several times that they plan to support PCs up to 5 years old. Nobody should have an older PC anyway.

They may be 400 bucks right now but it will be less once ps2 is released

What CPU are you running Basti?

that has always been the case for multiplayer on PC. its just the way it is.

HW sales always go up shortly after release of a big title

Thing is, competitive players always turn everything off and usualy don't have super high resolutions so their targets are bigger... so?

yeah well forget about more than 24 players, 1080p or in depth gameplay on a console

Full Specs:

Board: EP45-ds3r (Gigabyte)
GFX: Gainward GTX 570
Mem: 4 GB DDR2
CPU: Q4Quad Q9550

Its pretty much the end of the line for me, cant go any higher with the current board. And getting a new board + CPU and Memory is quite expensive. Gonna wait and see how PS2 runs on this machine. If i need more memory, i just grab it, its cheap. If the CPU isnt powerful enough, then im pretty much out of luck.

No, they dont. Only idiots do that.

Turning down your res actually puts you at a disadvantage, as you have less Pixels to display stuff. Turning down everything else just makes things look ugly, but give you a nice frame boost. If you need that frame boost, then your a bad player anyway.
I always play my games at the highest possible settings that ensure me at least 30 FPS, and i am a good player, usually being top or near top on the scoreboard of whatever FPS i play. :>

Ahem my 540M will do just fine then, huzzah. 8gigs of RAM never hurt either.
