Stop whining and moaning about system spec requirements.

[addman]

I think many people overestimate the system specs and I'll say it again: Buy the best you can, for the money you have! How hard can it be?! Geez...

I said "from there you can pretty much take that as a minimum system requirement", david603.

It's like whenever someone sees those two words in a sentence, it's instant tunnel vision nowadays.

I dont agree. People are naturally curious / worried about, if their computer can handle this new Sim. Do they have to go out and spend a lot of money on new hardware and if so, what type of upgrade do the have to do?. I therefore think it is okay to ask people.

Perhaps it is irritating for some to read these questions. Especially if you have the latest high end computer with new hardware and feel safe. But for everyone else, it is a significant issue. Should we wait to buy the Sim and hardware or whatever. And hey. This is a forum. This is where you can ask quiations and get some answer. So please do not dictate what others can or can not ask.

Thanks

If you feel dictated by my rant, Otto, that's on your shoulders not mine.

[Red Dragon-DK]

Then what is you point of this thread? Your headline do not sound like a quistion to me.

[kimosabi]

I'll update the OP title. I left a \rant at the end of my OP but it may be hard to spot.

I know this is a forum, Otto, and we sure need to nag about the same things, like system requirements, over and over again, right?

Well, I've read that back a couple of times and to me, it still looks like you saying the specs from the Igromir PCs can be taken as the minimum system requirements needed to run the sim, but lets not argue.

We do seem to be agreement overall about what is needed to run the sim at different graphics levels.

Why are some people so stressed out about it though? Can't you wait until the game is released and try it on your current rig first and then decide whether to upgrade or not? Also, system specs aren't always 100% correct but rather a guideline for suggested hardware. Show some patience, I'm sure they will release the "almighty" specs ASAP.

yes we need to since most ppl are not "richies" with latest rigs...its normal they are worried....

[kimosabi]

I'm not rich either. Still using a 775 rig here and she runs steady and true.

I even get around 60FPS in RoF with most of the bells and whistles on, with the exception of cities, which drop to 45FPS on occation. And RoF is no easy task for an old beater.
