    Post How well will my new computer run MTW2?

    Hello I have recently ordered a new PC, I was wondering if anyone has a similar system and could tell me how the total war games run on it.

    Heres the spec:-

    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
    2048MB DDR II RAM
    ATI 512MB X1600 Radeon
    160 GB Hard Drive



    Kind Regards

    I'd say you have no problems running MTW2 with that thing.

    Why are you even worrying? That thing is obviously godly. 2GB RAM!

    It should run pretty dang good. The only thing that is probably holding you back, if at all is the x1600. It's a good mid range card though, don't get me wrong. I would say you should have no problems running with medium/high settings and some eye candy turned on. If you are having performance problems though, turn the shadows down, they seem to kill my framerate unless I have them on low.

    The X1600 is a real bottleneck there IMO, I have a 7950Gt and even that seems to be a bottleneck. Everything that doesn't require huge graphics power should run great though.

    If you're runnign at anything under 1080i a 7950gt shouldn't be a problem at all...

    Well, I suspect it may be my mainboard only supporting PCIe x4, but according to some article I once saw that makes only a difference of 6% compared to PCIe x16.
    In Comparison to my old AGPx8 6600GT it's more than twice as fast anyway.
