Default Rant: Stop whining and moaning about system spec requirements.

~S~

Cliffs of Dover is 2 months away and we all saw that they ran the demo's at Igromir pretty well with i5 760's @ 2.8gHz, 2gigs of ram and a GTX460. From there on you can pretty much take that as a minimum system requirement.

Save up and order when the devs decide to release the info, instead of cluttering a whole forum.

As I recall, firstly there were real problems with stuttering over land with that spec, and secondly, we don't know how much the software has been optimised and/or revised since then. So no, that isn't a 'minimum system requirement'. It is a guess.

More to the point. Ubisoft are trying to take orders for software without providing a spec. Does anyone really think this is a sensible business practice?

Exactly. I assume that only 2GIGS of RAM installed was a cause of stuttering....Im pretty sure my i7920@3.3Ghz paired with GTX470 twin frozr 2 (overclocked beyond 480 specs) and 6GIGS of DDR3 RAM would be enough for smooth gameplay ond med to high settings on 1680x1050 res....

Yes, but they were running on Max graphics at Igromir, so unless the sim has massively changed since then those can't be the minimum system requirements.

My guess for min specs would be a Dual Core @ 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, and a modern-ish graphics card of about 512mb memory.

My suggestion was towards people wanting to run the game with acceptable framerates of up to 50-60FPS on higher(not highest) settings. Which is about 70-80% of us IMO. As others have mentioned, they had some lag/fps issues at Igromir. That's why I said pretty well, and not beautifully.

If you want absolute minimum system specs, which I believe noone is really interested in when they upgrade their computer, you can probably run that game off your grandpa's laptop.

YES ANDYJDUDE! IT WAS A GUESS! THAT'S WHY I SAID "PRETTY MUCH TAKE IT FROM THERE"! Geez.

Well, you did say minimum system requirement

I'm not so sure everyone is thinking of upgrading for SoW.

Myself, I have no plans to get a new computer, since my current rig is about the same specs as the Igromir machines but with 4GB RAM. I have room for a second graphics card, but even so I will wait to see how it runs before shelling out.
