Post your PC specs

[Metroplex]

I am playing on a 500MB GF8600GT, 2Gigs of RAM, Pentium D 3Ghz.
Occassionally the game slows down when I am galloping on the horse to a slooooow few gallops but I think that is because I am playing with all settings maxed and really need to upgrade my GF.
So do you experience any of this? Post your PC specs and tell of your playing experience when running the game!:)

[Snarl]

Okay....

Q6600, 512MB HD4870, 4GB RAM, Vista HP 32Bit, Razer AC-1

1680 x 1050 Everything Maxed in Graphics Options

Runs Flawlessly however my System is overkill for this game.

Well...

Laptop: Turion X2 2 Ghz. 2 gb RAM and ATI Radeon HD 2600
Vista 32 bit

Runs perfectly on Max settings:)

My home Desktop PC settings will be updated later, but I have dual prc 2GHz, 2 Gig ram, I have no clue about my video... but I play it on max video settings (but I had thermal shutdown till I didn't clean my video card vent)

My notebook :
Dell Latitude D620
Intel Core 2 CPU T7200 2 GHz
2 GB of RAM
Integrated video card - using normal memory
nearly lowest settings

On both systems I have Win XP SP2 (version 2002)

Nothing much over here:
C2D 6600, 2GB RAM, Gf8 8800GT.
The best part is: Lenovo 22" wide PVA LCD monitor, which brings me a wonderful 1920x1200 visual experience with a such colorful game as is KB:L! :)

Playing the game in 1920x1200 on Widescreen, with the Russian 'extra-zoom-out-camera' mod is amazing :)

[YENKO]

Well...


Nike-it, i liked your old badass South Park mofo-avatar better :)

EDIT: Yippeeee, the South Park bozo's are back! :)
Merry x-mas!! :)

Yenko, I see you have huge influence on Nike-it... but actually the xmass Southpart avatar is cool... but sadly not very much KB atmospheric :P ... :D

Yes, it's back, and i like it. And, for the KB-atmospherics...let's say that I praise certain levels of unique personality in an individual ;)

Ok, sounds reasonable - well, I have based on your need of personification updated my avatar and my signature picture... hope that makes me somehow less "grey" :)

Athlon 3000, 6600 128 mb video, 1G RAM.

I'm running the game on a 22" lcd in native resolution (forgot exactly what that is). Graphic details are set pretty low of course, but the game looks nice and is very playable on my low spec pc.

Great game - I would like to see 1c become the developers for any future HoMM, I'm sure they would do a great job.

BSoD ...hmm.. You are running XP -> I guess 32 bit version... for XP should be a patch available so it should not have any problems with 4 GB of ram (the main problem is that much less is shown in XP than is really installed, usually is shown only 3,2 GB and random BSoD's occure... but with the patch should all work fine)
If you have your XP maxed on patches and everything - I would strongly recommend you to turn the HW to service vendor - maybe you mainboard or one of the memory bars has a hardware problem. As you system is quite new - you should use your warranty.. IMHO

Don't forget - it may be only worse (even if you can ignore it by saying to yourself "2 gigs are fine" but remember it may get worse)

Time to participate in this lovely community. :)

My specs are:

Intel Core 2 duo E750 2,66GhZ
2GB RAM
Vista 32Bit Service Pack 1
Geforce 9500GT
22" HP w2216 screen.

Game runs very smoothly at 1640 x 1050 but when I turn on anti ailasing it's like a slug with a half a ton of bricks on it's back. (Even in lower resolution.)

But i'm very happy the way it runs now. Runs smooth, looks smooth. :grin:

My desktop (I run the game on maxed video settings) runs the game perfectly smooth and I have even weaker HW than you do, just I have Win XP (could it be that Vista consumes much more of RAM has so negative impact on gameplay?)

I play at the display's native resolution of 1920x1200, 4xAA, everything else maxed out and no problems.

Much better than Heroes V: it starts/loads/saves/exits faster and it feels smoother. It does use more memory but that is not an issue.
Fewer bugs also. :)

It is known that Vista programs always need higher memory requirements. One of reasons is superfetch, wich allocates memory and releases it accordingly to allow programs to start up faster. Not that it helps much, so I disbabled it trough the registry.

The ONLY problem I have is when turning on AA. It's slows the game down so much, it becomes unplayable. Not that I have to, in my current resolution (1680 x 1050 in max settings) everything is as sharp and smooth as it can get.
But that has more to do with my graphics card then anything else.

The engine they used is just awesome. It's an engine that gives great FX and superb animations without the need of a "heavy" computer. The only downside I can think of is maybe the polygon count is a bit lower then any other engine, but nothing you can notice. (also helps to keep the game fast)

e8400 with gts 8800 (g92). win xp 32 (won't upgrade until i abs. must - see no need for vista). There is a small chance i'll upgrade the graphic card but 1080P is probably the limit for me and the gts can almost handle that. I currently use a 20 inch monitor because older games prefer 4:3 but eventually I'll go with a 22 or 24 inch 1080p monitor - 24 inch is a bit large for me (for games) so probably 22 inch but not for a couple of more years. Too many games are unhappy with widescreen (even recent games like space rangers 2).

Q6600 @3.2 Ghz, 4GB RAM DDR2 1066, 8800GTX, WD Raptor... playing at 1900x1200, all maxed out antialasing and filtering 4x/16x. That was a high end system 2 years ago, it's pretty much pretty good today, game runs flawlessly.

The game sreams with all setting maxed out! Really can't complain. My computer is a year old & still holding it's own. The game seems to be programmed failry well. I loving this game! I only found out about it last week!

The game runs perfect even considering Windows 7 is beta, I hadn't any crash or problem and I finished the game. Using 1440x900 resolution.

This game doesn't require much power though...
