What are the system rquirements for running the new game?
I want to play it, but not sure if my computer will run it?

Thanks

According to the box it is:

2 Ghz processor on Vista OR
1.4 Ghz on XP

1GB RAM on Vista OR
512mb on XP

That's about the jist of it.

You're not missing much believe me

When I say i cant run it, i can but its slow and jerky and irritating. Im a bit old school and still play using commentary only. The Ass Mans feedback really helps if you manage that way.

Is there an option to 'turn-off' the 3D match engine?

Yeah you can run it in old school 2D mode.

3D is shite anyway. My PC is terrible but runs it though.

What kind of spec is your PC? Do you know?

I'd be interested to know, just to use it as a kind of yardstick for mine..

I love the 3d match engine and my pretty bog standard laptop has no problems running it whatsoever.

I only have an onboard Intel graphics card, 1gb of mem and a 1.6ghz dual core processor so it's hardly world beating yet it runs the game without any trouble. The games flow beautifully when watching in 3d. Dunno what all the fuss is about.

NB. I don't run Vista which might help explain why all is well on my lappy

My GFX card is a nvidia 6100 unsure about the processor or motherboard but they are probably pretty cheap ones. 1.75 gb or RAM though.

No, just updated

I downloaded one of the demo's online last night, to give it a 'trial run' on my computer. It was slower than Rik Waller running the London marathon! Takes ages to change days etc.

Sake!

f*** sake just brought it didn't realise I needed a DVD drive

Should have read the box but just presumed it would be as normal.

 

[bright1064]

I once bought a complete NEW computer, just so I could run a new version of the game.

I will NOT be doing that again. I'm just going to have to miss out on the fun this time round...

I'm downloading it from a torrent now.... will only take me about 24 hours
