Stop whining and moaning about system spec requirements.

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.

whining about the whining dosnt help either , just kiddin. as they say in the past its a proof of the expectation this sim creates on all of us

Let's see if this thread helps. I sure hope so. Not kidding.

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....

Ehh..I would too like to know why we still dont have such an important info...and preorders started....

There were real problems with stuttering at the Russian expo. This was explained as systems with only 2 gigs of memory. Since then Luthier stated the optimizations have gone rather well. I'm sure they will still be optimizing until the end of February when they have to send in the final copy for pressing.

There is no problem with Ubisoft taking preorders. People with decent systems or people who understand they might have to build a new system will happily preorder the new game. People who are concerned their system won't stack up and aren't planning to upgrade can simply wait a month or so for the system specs. I have a decent system and plan to upgrade it even further, but I'm not planning to preorder for a month or so and will still get the sim the same time as people who preorder now. What's the big deal?

anyway, we're 99% sure that it'll be CPU dependant, so if you dont have at minimum a Core2Duo than I think you should same some money

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.
