Stop whining and moaning about system spec requirements.

Well, you did say minimum system requirement

If you want absolute minimus 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.

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.

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...

It's just not that simple - when buying the best you can, what percentage of your budget do you spend on your CPU and what percentage on your graphics card? The answer will depend on the game you want to play, and we are expecting this air sim to benefit from CPU power more than your average FPS. Once some specs are released people better guess what system will be best with their budget.

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

LOL

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

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.

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.

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

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

\rant

agreed some people have become the forum equivalent of screaming teenage girls since the announcement by Oleg on friday.
