The subject of the post explains it all really. What are the system requirements for M2TW? I am eagerly anticipating this game (after all it says on amazon that it wil be historically accurate) yet I do have a low spec PC (256MB RAM, 128MB Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 4000, 1.5 Ghz AMD Athlon Processer). So I really need to knbow whether I can play it before I pre-order it.
Thankyou
Well judging from Soulflame's post in this thread I understand the minimum specs are:
Does that mean you can run it ? I personally have no idea...Quote:
System
1. The only real number I got were 1.8 Ghz Gf4 128 for minimum specs
:balloon2:
Well I'd say the CPU could perhaps be strong enough but AFAIK the 4MX is not really a good card (can it handle directX 9 at all?) and I'm almost sure 256 MB of RAM won't be enough, I recommend you buy another 512 MB (even if you need a new machine anyway, you could simply continue using the ram)
PS: Of course, you could also ignore what people tell you here and simply try to run the demo ;)
I don't know the exact specs but Shoggy (.com) simply said this:
If you can play RTW on high, you can play MTW2 on medium.
That's where my knowledge of PCs ends, but I think you will know now ... hopefully
hey, Stig, check out Soulflames thread on this page ....the answers. he asked in an interview last week for the minimums. as was mentioned above it was:

soulflame asked alot of questions you will be interested in reading. i thought i might make a thread at the .com to link them, but i never did it.Quote:

edit: i made a thread in the .com medieval tw2 forum to link the interview with soulflame
Well what Shoggy told me was ages ago, early this year, when the MTW2 forums where spammed, this was to keep them silent, but I believe it's correct. Which means what Dutch Guy said is correct, as that can play RTW on medium.
I bet 512MB of Ram will be the minimum...MTW was 128MB, RTW was 256MB, so probably M2TW will be 512MB of RAM requred...
For MTW my PC was basically at the minimum across the board (I had 350MHz, 128 MB of RAM and a 32MB PCI video card). I could play single player, but at times I would get some lag) I think I was able to play on large units but I am sure I turned down(off) many of the graphics settings.
so as long as you have the minimum you will probably be able to play but I think your 1.5Ghz processer is below the 1.8Ghz required..
I think if you don't play multi player you could get a bottom end computer and it will be fine. I think the main thing is to make sure you have 128MB of video memory. Of course the better card you have the more units you can have on the screen and the higher the graphics settings.
Well I can play RTW on medium, does that mean I can play M2TW on low?Quote:

Now, I need to know if my ATI is good enough.
ATI what? 9600? 9300?? you have variations on that you know.
I have 1024 RAM,3.0 ghz and geforce 7600 gt 256 mb.Will I be able to play the game on lets say med/med-high settings?
Hmm. Double your RAM at the least. Triple or quadruple would be better. And get rid of that card. It's actually a Geforce 2 over-clocked and given more modern VRAM.Quote:

As we already got a thread for it and people are apparently answering I'll also ask:
Dou you think it's gonna be playable ( to me that means battles with absolutely no bells&whistles and everything on low run without lags) on a Athlon XP 2400+ (1826MHz), 512 Mb RAM (perhaps gonna double it if I find some ram that suits the board) and a Geforce 6200 /w 256 MB VRAM (the AGP version)?

Yep you wil be able to run it on mininmum req. But i would defiantly get my self a bit more Ram and pehabs as well a new Processor, but you a going to run it with a little lack
Ha ha! Someone just stole my computer so I built a new one with plenty of guts for M2:TW. Core 2 Duo 6600 with 2 gig ram and Nvidia 7900GT w/512 Mb of ram. If the game is any good it is gonna rock on this bad boy.
OMG a 7900 gt ^^Quote:

But a 7900 gt will play the game very good ;-)
omg, how did you afford it? Recently inherited kilobucks?
Well some of us actually works:2thumbsup:
Well some of us actually go to school instead of working....(money=>down)Quote:

my pc is running at .AMD Sempron(tm)processor 3100+ 1.81GHz,512mb of ram ..well i be able to play ?
And some of us get free checks from the government for going to school. :jumping:Quote:

A friend says I may need to replace the video card but he only plays first person shooters that I'm told suck up memory.
Processor: AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 4200+ dual-core - 2.2GHz
Memory: 2GB DDR2-533MHz dual channel SDRAM (2x1024)
Hard Drive: Some gigantic number of gigabites.
Video card: Either NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE, w/ TurboCache, or NVIDIA GeForce 7500LE, TV-Out, DVI, VGA, I think.
I'm pulling this numbers from the hp website, I'm actually on a different comp at the office.
Also, what does a dual core processor do? The salesguy said it effectively means my processor runs programs at double the stated speed. In this case I guess that would be 4.4 GHz.
Ok heres my old boy
AMD 3200+ 2.5 i think.
ATI X800 XT PLATINUM 256MB
2G's of RAM DDR2
Where can I buy this CPU?:laugh4:Quote:
