Has anyone played Far Cry 2 yet? I have not had a scour of the other forums yet so I might be missing a thread on it!
I think the specs for the game are:
Minimum requirements:
CPU: Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz, Pentium D 2.66 Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or better
RAM: 1 GB
Video card: NVidia 6800 or ATI X1650 or better, Shader Model 3 required, 256 Mb of graphic memory
Media reader: DVD-ROM
Hard drive space: ~12 Gig or HD space. (tbd)
Recommended:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Family, AMD 64 X2 5200+, AMD Phenom or better
RAM: 2 GB
Video card: NVidia 8600 GTS or better, ATI X1900 or better, 512 Mb of graphic memory
Sound: 5.1 sound card recommended
Supported Video cards:
NVidia 6800, NVidia 7000 series, 8000 series, 9000 series, 200 series. 8800M and 8700M supported for laptops. ATI X1650 – 1950 series, HD2000 series, HD3000 series, HD4000 series
My machine currently has:
AMD 64 x2 3800+
Nvidia 7800 GTX
2GB of RAM
I think the processor looks like the main thing that may hold it back. Does anyone have any experience with FC2 on a similarly specced machine?
My gf is talking about buying it for me for xmas, and i have started talking about needing new bits and bobs to play it well, which is putting her off
Also if I look again, my graphics card may be a bit below par. I was thinking maybe I could get a couple of news ones and have an SLi set up. If I do this I will speak to Macey to get some hints and tips on the best way to do it...
Any suggestions? Maybe overclock the CPU a bit? Never done it before so would probably end up making a hash of it!
