Official system requirements

Wow huge dissapointment, they really dropped the ball. More people currently use DX11 than dx10 and DX9 than dx10. Big dissapointment

Or it is more CPU bound and a I7 2600K OC with a single GTX 580 is a enough at this time paired with 8GB of fast RAM for max settings?
Or even " no system can do max settings at this time" ( that will be really impressive indeed)

If you can't run CoD at max settings with that hardware, then God help us all!

WHAT?

According to the steam hardware survey, which is about the most comprehensive, the most accurate survey of PC gamer hardware, only about 5% of PC gamers are on a DX11-capable system. About 21% are on DX9 systems, and the rest are DX10.

But apparently 21 + 73 > 5.

LOL yeah right

Who cares if its DX11. If the game looks as good as it does on the screenshots, who gives a f* if that is achieved through DX7, DX11 or OpenGL?

For those with ATI cards worrying; ATi are notoriously bad with OpenGL drivers, the fact CoD is a DirectX game (unlike IL2 which was opengl) gives you a good chance it will run fine. ATI's directx drivers are usually okay these days.

As for the specs; dont read too much in to it.
For some perspective, if you read the minimum requirements for IL2, they are:

• Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
• 1 GHz Processor Pentium 3 or equivalent
• 512 MB RAM
• DirectX 9.0 compatible 64MB Graphics Card
• 4 GB Free Hard Disk Space Required

I dont think you will enjoy IL2 a whole lot with those specs.

I dont mean to say CoD will be as bad on minimum specs, but there is so much variation depending on settings, maps, that its easy to bring a core i7 with a geforce 580 to its knees, while you can make it rather fluid on a 5 year old Athlon 64 with a geforce 7900. So a few arbitrary "minimum' and 'recommended' configs dont tell us a whole lot, if there is no mention of framerates or resolutions.

I guess we will find out when it ships

Are you posting from the future? What does Duke Nukem Forever II look like?

Exactly. Btw DX10 still looks very very good and it will run faster than DX11 even with latest cards in the play.

I didn't see my 4890 listed in there after the 4850 and 4870, so i was momentarily confused.

What you say is probably obvious (anything better/newer than specified should work) but it's funny how excitement can cause us all to go in panic mode at the slightest drop of the hat


In any case these are VERY reasonable specs, congrats on the optimization process. Sure, i don't expect it to run at full with those settings, but a mid to high end PC purchased in the last two years will probably have no trouble running it at medium or medium-high settings on a reasonable resolution (single monitor). Heck, i don't expect most PCs to be able to max it out as it is, especially if we consider the disabled features. They're disabled for a reason after all...you know, the people who will crank everything up to max even if there's no hardware that can run it yet and then complain that it's a poor job because it stutters

I'm using an i7 920 (no overclocking) with Ati 4890 1GB and 3GB of RAM (i might get another 3 after i test run the sim a few times) and i'm very happy with the specs.



Also,

i'm generally not one to make ironic remarks and whatnot, but this really made laugh out loud

Is it just blahblah?
