System specs

Any word on what the system reqs are gonna be? I looked online and I get several different answers.

This game looks ridiculous, and there is no way I see myself running it on a 120$ graphics card.

It was not as bad as I thought it would be!

For those of you too lazy to click a link lol

Just had to one up me didn't you. lol

With the rendering I'm seeing at the moment, I don't see those system specs being sufficient. The only thing that might be high enough is the 3 Ghz processor but thats it.

I agree i have no idea how this game is going to run without a 200$ video card.

eh.. I don't see it as surprising and I'll tell you why. Perfect world is actually (all ironic jokes aside) a perfect example. the game looks like it requires more than what the specs says it can handle. I mean my computer handled it with no problem and Trust me when I say my computer is no gaming PC in the least. few tweaks here and there kinda made it that way.. (well multi-media more so than just gaming.) So yea.

Aion must be another one of those cases.. which is sweet.

I hope you're right. i want to check out the game even though i have a stigma about pay to play.

What 200 dollar video card are you looking at. The 6 series of Nvidia I can buy for less than a hundred. A 200 dollar card is the 9 series or GX series.

Well, my set up is tricky. I run my CPU through my TV. And I need a HDMI video out on my card. Unfortunetly most video cards don't use HDMI without an adapter and its hard to find a suitable card for under 200.

You don't need hdmi to run through your tv. All you need is an S-video adapter that runs to composite cables. I have a comp with a 120 dollar vid card that runs at 1080 WITHOUT hdmi. It works just fine.

svideo makes text look horrible on a TV. Tho the graphics will be fine, the text will suck. I recomend VGA input to the TV if you have it. Most new(ish) TV's will have a VGA input.

HDMI FTW!!!

I never had that issue, and I just got done watching an english subbed anime. I also have played RoM, read some e-books, and played several standard games so it must be your video card. Also, my S-video outpout goes into the composite cables Ypbr cables.

thats not svideo then. Also, this pertains more to documents and such...like file names on the desktops, text in games would still be fine, same with subs

Well, I have a command center in my living room. I own a Sony Wega that has two HDMI. My CPU runs at 1080p flawlessly with the HDMI and I would prefer to keep it that way. I could get the HDMI with adapter, but the adapter would make the actual CPU box stick off the wall an extra 3 inches which would be unacceptable in my tiny ass apartment. I'm sure I would kick it everytime I turned the corner. And we all know Violence and technology doesn't fly because if it did we wouldn't have a need for NERF PS2 controllers.

Just want to let you know I'm playing on the Chinese servers right now on max graphics settings. It runs perfectly. Granted I do have a very fast CPU and 3G RAM but I only have a 128M dedicated nvidia card on my laptop. I think most people will find this game easy to run on their machines.
