Thief PC Requirements Revealed Pages PREV 1 2 | |
It's a 32 bit program I'd guess, 32bit software can only read and use 4GB regardless of how much you have in the computer. | |
because its optimized as well as a rock on roller skates and high power hardware might even that out. | |
OS: Windows Vista with platform update CPU: High-performance dual core CPU or quad core CPU RAM: 4 GB Graphics Card: AMD Radeon 4800 series / Nvidia GTS 250 DirectX: DirectX 10 HDD/SSD: 20 GB So, I'm guessing I probably wouldn't be able to play this. And that I have no knowledge whatsoever of computer firmware/hardware, huh. | |
A REPRESENTATIVE of the COMPANY developing a title is saying that the title in development isn't a half-assed piece of shit? YOU. DON'T. SAY. | |
my current system cant handle even the minimum specs, however the system i plan to buy next month and got most of the money for already will outperform recommended by a generation. Good, means i can once again use it for 5 years without trouble and run anything i want.
you really want to upgrade from XP if you are using your PC for gaming. Dont get me wrong, i love XP and i still thing it was the best looking OS ever made, but it simply is no longer supported. It cant do DirectX 10-11.1. This is why this game cannot run on XP - it no logner supports the legacy DirectX 9 and runs on a more powerful 11 variant (hence why vista upgrade packet, as pre-upgrade vista can only run 10). and more games are going this way. Most games released from now will no longer support XP i fear so you really should think about upgrading. I suggest 7, takes a while to get used to but its quite comfortable. I dont suggest 8, rather wait for 9 instead as that seems to be "8 except fixed".
Ill try to provide some explanation. 3 GB of ram likely wont be enough and cause you problems, thought if it is a 32 bit program (can maximum use 3.6 GB due to technical limitation) you may not be in that bad of a shape here. Sadly yes, that means you fail as far as graphical card requirement goes. But do not despare, requirements are sometimes not precise and the difference isnt that big, so it may just run afterall. directx is, to put simply, a helper program. You said you are good in OS department so you will have directx 11+ very likely already, which supports diretx 10 programs (the game likely runs both anyway). the people that have to worry about that are people running XP or old Vista versions. You dont NEED a SSD to run any game. SSD will make game load faster and textures stutter less in some games, but every game is definatelly playable on a HDD. | |
I intend to build a new computer this year, I know I'm behind the times but getting the money to build a new one is hard when you're too disabled to work. It killed me this weekend when I saw both Company of Heroes 2 and Saints Row 4 having a free weekend on steam and I couldn't play either. It's actually why I hope to get Assassins Creed 4 on the xbox 360 for my birthday next month, I'd prefer it for the PC but again I'm using XP so I'm screwed :( | |
Lol. I trust him more than you, with your grand total of 0 minutes playing and developing the game. | |
The only thing I didn't like about TDS was that the melee combat was lowered in use from "Appropriately weak, mildly complex and only really useful for weak guards" to "Extremely simple, but so low damage you couldn't kill a civilian". The game handled fine, that is BS. | |
So either this thing runs like garbage to justify these settings or it is eye wateringly beautiful and they've made a game engine that utilizes multicores like a boss. or they just released random specs for recommended that they think would indicate to PC gamers that this is a graphically intensive game. I'm going with the last option myself I expect the recommended settings is something someone just threw together rather than test it on a wide range of computers to determine the actual recommended specs to run the game at it's highest settings. | |
i can understand that. I spent the last 7 months saving for a new PC as well and its going to be bought next month only.
Judging from past events its likely the last option, thought we saw plenty of the first option. As far as the second one goes, crytek are the only ones i saw pull that off. | |
Well im above reccomended specs, wether or not the game is worth playing or a total pile of action-oriented crap with the name 'Thief' hastily pasted on its steaming body is another matter entirely... | |
Surprised it's supporting Vista still. Would have thought that obsolete at this point considering 7 sold well and 8 is... out... Is this the done thing? How long is Vista likely to be supported? | |
