Compiling minimum & recommended system requirements for EB: post PC specs!

[Ibrahim]

I need a new laptop

save some money and get one then

[Col.Kurtz]

Specs:
CPU 1,2 GHz
Ram 352 (or something like this)
Radeon 9250 (128 MB Ram - I believe)

Performance:
Turn time: around 3 minutes
Loading and Starting time take forever
But once started Campaign Map and Battles work quite well on low settings with battlesize huge but only with the standard limitations (with reinforcements)

Its somehow a pain in the ass but I'll probably wait to buy a new PC until EB2 is finished ;)

To all EB fans Good start into the new year !!

1. System specifications:
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 6700
* RAM: 4GB
* Graphics Card: RADEON HD 3800 2GB
* OS: Windows Vista 64bit (Experience Rating: 5.7)
* Monitor resolution: 1400x1050.
2. RTW settings:
* I've simply upped all the graphics settings to the max the RTW screen will allow me.
3. Ballpark figures:
* Turns take: 10-15 seconds
* Loading game: same
* Loading saves: ~ same
* Loading battles: 15 sec
* Loading the campaign map: idem.
* Activating the script: instantaneous
* Navigating on the campaign map: no delays, period
* Navigating on the battle map: likewise.
* Transitioning to/from event cut scenes (general fallen, etc.): fast, smooth -- no artefacts, no arbitrary pause while the game works out what to render.
* Stability: good, can resume RTW from screensavers, can leave RTW running for at least 5 hours on end without causing CTD's. However, random CTD's have a noticeable higher chance of ocurring if I do that.
* Running other programs in the background (using the -ne switch): no problems, can easily switch back and forth, but can only do it once before it crashes. I'm guessing its a Vista x64 thing
4. System oddities (inexplicable settings which improve system stability/performance)
* None.
5. EB rating: 'perfect'.
