Official system requirements

We never saw an 800x600 screenshot since I'm assuming they were not using PC's from ~2005 to take screencaps on. Those MINIMUM SPECS are not going to be playing the game at anything like what the weekly updates have been showing.

Guess this means that the game will be quite demanding on full settings or even less.

I will be happy in the 1st instance to get a Spit up over the channel against a single 109 and have it smooth and pretty.

The leaked in cockpit shot (the one without sound) just looked stunning.

If I can just run that on my Quad 3Ghz & a 5870 I'll be a happy chappy.

Am sure one you start loading the skies with lots of aircraft, that's when things will need to get turned down.

All speculation anyway.

S!

Minimum requirements are just that what they say. Settings where the game runs at a relatively low resolution(for today's standards at least) and without any bells and whistles. It is playable but far from high FPS, enjoyable gameplay or anything compared to the screens and pics on a game box, for example.

IMO the devs could put minimum requirements to reflect a game that has say medium settings at a reasonable resolution at the lowest render..in this case DirectX 9(which is not a bad one). A medium range machine that is the most common today. I bet the minority of gamers have a superduper machine but more like a midrange where the GPU/CPU are reasonably priced for the consumer.

Marketing a game with low requirements without telling that the game looks just plain bad then = false marketing. The minimum requirements never say that you miss sometimes a lot of the features that a higher end user will enjoy.

I am confident after seeing the specs that my AMD rig is more than enough for a nice gaming experience at anything except the Ultra settings(or whatever devs have decided them to be).

wot?

It's been over 15years that the min sys requirement is only to run the game.... if you dont know that by now, you must have been living under a rock for sure............

Minimum is with nearely everything off
and recommended is closer to medium-high

What I see on the first page are both minimum and recommended specs required to run the game.

The question only Luthier can answer here is on what resolution are there requirements based on? (referring to the recommended specs)

Like Luthier said, "small resolution". That might not mean 800x600, but I'm guessing it's not going to be a native resolution of an LCD monitor made in the last 7 years.

These are cards that the game has specifically been tested on. Not the only cards that will work with the game.

Thanks for clarification.
But my HD3600 still won't work right?

Is the HD3600 a DX9 or DX10 compliant card = Yes. "Yes it should".
Is the HD3600 a XD9 or DX10 compliant card = No. "No it shouldn't".

I'm not really knowledgable on ATI products but seeing that a HD 3600 is from 2008 I severely doubt it's going to be much fun. That card is mightily outdated, I'm afraid.
