aesopo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You should look at the minimum specs required to run it at the web store page of the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossy57322 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The Manual lists minimum specs as 1ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, CPU with 128GB VRAM. Pretty mild. I have the game on a Core2Duo laptop with a dedicated GPU with 256 MB VRAM and on a desktop that blows that out of the water. Both machines have 8GB RAM. Runs smooth as butter on both.

wlape3 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I use an AMD FX8150 with an SSD drive and a HD6950 GPU. Total RAM is 24 GB running under Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The GPU and RAM are overkill but the SSD helps the game load much faster. My recommendation would be to get a 4 core Intel chip like an I5 sandy bridge and run it under Win XP 64 bit. Win XP executes it faster than Win 7 and the 64 bit OS will allow you to get more than 4 GB of memory in use. The game seems to execute mostly in memory and I would think a fast CPU and reasonably fast memory would be best. The AMD chips are cheaper in the US and a good value but the Intel chips do run the code better, probably due to the fact most compilers are optimized for Intel CPUs.
