The ''will my PC" thread do?

[Killa4live]

Alright, this topic is getting a standard "All your system requirements questions" topic in the Total network by me (Killa4live) so since we have a new subsite it is time to start talking about the system specs of this magnificient game.

Again ill start off:

My Specs
8800GTS GDDR3 320 MB
2 GB DDR2/533 Nanya E Dimm RAM
Intel D930 3.0 GHz Dual Core 2x 2MB cache
430 Watt Coolermaster Low Noise PSU
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
500GB WD 16 MB RE U300 + 160 GB WD 8 MB

I think this will do Full high on good FPS.
If someone can tel if it's gonna be DX10 i would be happy since i have a DX10 card and DX10 makes live harder for GPU and easier for CPU (which would be good for me as u see my specs)

[Doughboy101]

Wait what??

This is thread to post your specs to see if the game will be capable, or just a thread to post your specs on?

[Killa4live]

Wait what??

This is thread to post your specs to see if the game will be capable, or just a thread to post your specs on?

If u look around on the Total Network u can see i made this standard topic everywhere.
It saves the 1000 threads of will my xxxx do?, will my 7xxxx be enough? i can't play it smooth with xxx.

If u look on the Total Quake Wars forums u see this thread is the most succesfull thread there.

I started of but i don't have to ask wheter it can run, because i know it will.

[Doughboy101]

Ahh Yeah yeah. Good thread :)

[Killa4live]

As you can see i upgraded my rig, can't wait for the game

Wasn't it back in the original CoD where you had the option to run either the newest DirectX or like DirectX7 ... If they do something similar, I am guessing you will be able to run it but on extremely low graphics, with the same video card, it is so disappointing to say that I need to upgrade real soon as my PC can't even run Flight Simulator X on any decent graphics at all. :(

[remedy]

yeah patton, i do believe you did have the option to run it on another DX version on the original COD.. idk, I will probably just go ahead with upgrading.. the game has good graphics, and i think its just worth it to go ahead and build another system, i built this one a long time ago.

Can't say it better myself. The graphics that this game looks to be giving is astounding and I am going to upgrade my computer hopefully enough where it will support it all on Max settings. Right now I have the RAM to support it; 3 Gigs worth which is more than anyone I know ... I just need to upgrade my CPU & Video Card and I am set; only problem is I am still AGP so video card buying is limited as all the newer ones are all PCI Express

For s new strong enough CPU u need a new mainboard anyway, which will 100% sure be PCIE.

ur better of getting a new system with Vista, C2D, 2GB RAM and an DX10 card so u can play it in DX10

I may need to go that route, only problem is that is a lot of money that I don't have, and I don't know of anybody who wants my current system.

I already have 3GB Ram, and Vista, and my motherboard can support upto the AMD 64 3700+ so I don't see how that can't handle it. Sure, I can't get a card that supports DirectX10 but hell, I don't have the kind of money to dish out $1000+ for a new system with college coming up.:cry:

I am a poor student too, and i did it.

U just have to have some discipline and save.

3GB of RAM is acually not that good, because it won't run Dual Channel, so best u can do is to get it to run Dual Channel again, or else it will seriosly bottleneck ur CPU.

(Dual Channel DDR2 400 has the same bandwith as single channel running DDR2 800, no matter how much GB's it are)

For an E6600 u will need DDR2/533 in Dual Channel for 0% bottleneck


I say:

-Get a new Mainboard
-Get a E6300 or E6400
-Get an ATI 2600 or Nvidia 8600GT or GTS

That will set u back around €400 to €500, but u are set for the future.

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

You forgot that I would need new RAM also in your list because new motherboards that are duo core need DDR2, which I only have DDR. I am talking to my dad right now about having him buy my whole system for my sister and I start completely new

When using my old CPU, thats was 40W more consuming, it was fine on Full system load.

Now i have C2D, saved another 40W, believe me 350W of a GOOD BRAND PSU is enough.

Also check the words under the 400W (450W for 8800GTX). It says:

Runs fine, ur RAM is overkill for ur CPU (E6600 needs DDR2/533)

Since C2D can be overclocked, i suggest u immidiately set it at 3 Ghz, since nothing is in your way to do so. (yes u will lose ur "warranty" but seroisly the developments go so fast warranty in tech-land is a joke)

I'm guessing that computer right there will probably be an Average - Above Average type of setting where most of your graphics will be Medium, and one or two maybe be able set to High. Also, does your card support DirectX10? I am pretty sure I read that CoD4 will be in Dx10, if that is the case, it would definitly be good to upgrade your card and get Vista if not already so you can play Dx10

My PC (specs in profile) I am guessing will play it on Maxed out settings.

Granted, this is just a guess!

[WillRyan]

8800 and Ultimate here I come....

[Lemon]

get Vista if not already so you can play Dx10

hey, hey, hey! xp will be able to run dx10 too right?!

[WillRyan]

Not from what I've heard...

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

hey, hey, hey! xp will be able to run dx10 too right?!

I am 99% sure that is a big no. Only Windows Vista will be able to support DirectX10, it's Microsoft's way of making sure that people buy their new operating system...

And seeing how CoD4 will be with DX10, I recommend everyone on here to go buy Vista, and a card (8 series GeForce or whatever ATi's newest invention is) that will support DirectX10:dead:

My new computer parts should be arriving mid this week, and I should have the build done by Thursday.

[Whiskey]

And seeing how CoD4 will be with DX10

COD4 is being developed as a DX9 game, and won't officially support DX10. You don't need Vista.

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

COD4 is being developed as a DX9 game, and won't officially support DX10. You don't need Vista.

Well thats just ghey. Most new games coming out are with the Unreal3 engine with DX10 and other DX10 working engines, why is this game going to be DX9? Is there going to be options to run it in DX10 for better appearance?

I mean, I know the original CoD you could change between DirectX versions for those of lesser and greater computer specs. If they do that here between 9 & 10, I would recommend 10 =)

[Whiskey]

There's no point in going to DX10 when:

a) most users don't have, or plan on getting, Vista
b) most users don't have high-end cards that support DX10
c) Microsoft made some stupid demands from a lot of companies for the "privilege" of Vista
d) IW have been able to accomplish almost everything they want with DX9

A lot, maybe even the majority, of games coming out soon are not "officially" supporting DX10 (but will probably still work with it). Especially if they don't need it for ultra-good graphics and fx. From some of the problems I've read on the Web with Vista, I don't blame them.

Pretty much everyone at the preview event was happy with the DX9 news.

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

Thats quite understandable and I agree completely; DirectX9 is amazing to work with and can accomplish a lot, if not everything people want.

Just a shame I will have a top end computer but the game that will probably be my main game for years won't even use all my resources. No matter

LOL and yep.. ain't Microsoft teh ghey!?

[Whiskey]

Yeah, but you may be one of the 5 people in the world who will be able to run Crysis at (almost) max settings. ;) :laugh:

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

Yeah, but you may be one of the 5 people in the world who will be able to run Crysis at (almost) max settings. ;) :laugh:

I may have to buy that game when it comes out. A lot of people are anticipating it, now that I have the PC to run it on High settings, I may just need to; the screens I've seen of it look pretty hot.

Whiskey, any knowledge of minimum specs for CoD4? I am guessing somewhere around like a 6600 nVidia, 1.5Ghz Processor and 512Megs RAM? That may even be a bit high, but I am guessing recommended will be something like

GeForce 6800GT / ATi X1600, 2Ghz Processor, 1Gig RAM

and for High...

GeForce 8800GTS / Not up-to-date on ATi cards lol, 2.5Ghz Processor, 2Gig RAM

Put the bets in now people, I am guessing that will most likely be close to what it is; I mean, looking at these graphics, looks better than any game to date that I've played on PC. Makes BF2 look like its 2 years old .. oh wait, it is:dead:

[Whiskey]

The game was still pre-Alpha when we had our preview, and was not yet optimized. They didn't want to speculate on any min spec until they were able to do that stuff sometime after Alpha.

Apparently they've stated before in some article that they're trying to make the game at least playable, even if not very pretty, on lower end machines. So, we'll have to see.

Yeah, I figure how they did with CoD, it would also attract more general gamers too, and younger gamers who both may not have the money or motivation to build a higher computer but still want to play the game.

I wonder how it will work with graphics when it comes to, lets say, snipers. Their camo and they can blend in as the video shows and as the game makers say; they can blend in with their environment if their good at doing so. I wonder if your at lower end graphics you get an advantage, like ... jagged edges or different coloring.. lack of shadow .. etc.

[Killa4live]

Your Anti-Vista rant is ungrounded.

All of your points would be valid on januaru 30th, but the wordl has changed big time the last 5 months.

Vista is working very well, is much safer, and when UAC turned off u don't have annoying messages.


XP = 15 virus threats a month

Vista = 1 virus warning from 30 april till now


FPS on all games are good, especially on my rig.

DX10 in Cod 4 won't be like the **** in COH.

It will have both a good DX10 and a good DX9

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

I agree. I enjoy Vista very much, and tomorrow I will probably love it a lot more when my new rig is built =) (Parts will be here tomorrow and then Im off to building it)

For a computer as good as mine, I'm only getting a 5.0 in Vista Experience. Everything except RAM scores a 5.9, RAM scores a 5.0.

But even though I have a 5.0, I would reckon my Vista Experience is going to be better technical wise than it would seem. :)

I think Vista is having trouble realized just how good your system is. The rating system probably can't go past a 10 so in reality you have a 15. Just like when some cars go over 1,000,000 miles and it starts over.

[[2]Maj.Patton[HFM][V]]

I actually think it can't go past the rating of 5.9 because I havent heard of anybody with a 6 and I doubt Vista is smart enough to determine products years from now already and are keeping high numbers for them

Probably when those products do come out, Microsoft will release updates for Vista that make it run higher than 5.9.

Euhm nop, and why the hell did u buy a 8800 Ultra?

If u like throwing money away, then just buy a 9800 in November, since we are all getting screwed with this stupid DX10.1 anyway.

I purchased the 8800Ultra back in mid may 07 because my X1800XT512MB is struggling when i crank up the videos settings in games of yesterday and today at higher resolutions. Only game i'm interested for DX10 is Crysis so i got no problems there.

So let me get this straight, u spend €700 on a GPU, OS and Game, and u do not feel very screwed by the developers and MS, for not bringing DX10 games, but wait when we have spent our money and then come with something new, while there are still no games for the things we paid top money for?

I advice u get another 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, then u will most likely be able to play medium settings (if the game is well optimised) or low (if the game si not very well optimised).

You are going to need that extra GB of RAM though.

I advice u overclock ur CPU a bit (not too much, since it is a 7600GT, not a 8800GTS or something)

yeah im hoping to pick up another gig while the ram is dirt cheap and to grab a 7900gs or gt.

edit,looking at the 1950xt's and theyre going for around 160 dollars,just need to grab a better power supply and im gold,i would expect the 1950 to run it on high,right?

Looking to increase my HDD size to about 500gb.

Hopefully i'll be ok, but i want to take full advantage of the games GFX and sounds so i may have to upgrade some components to get the best out of CoD4

[Killa4live]

So, you have first hand proof of that?

Dutch Tweakers.net is a very big community of tech people (biggest in Benelux i believe) and it''s full of this subjects.

[Whiskey]

So, you have first hand proof of that?

I'm not a techie, but we have one in our clan who I trust implicitly and I've spoken to him about a lot of the issues with MOH:Airborne.

The RAM info he gave above is correct. Unless you are running a server, or have a 64-bit OS, anything more than 2GB of RAM is pretty much a waste.

The processor will also likely be OK, as it will work with Airborne, and COD4 will likely have specs that are less harsh than that game due to using an engine they are more familiar with.

[blondgirl]

Hey my name is Christy and I love to game. The problem is that I really don't know much about computers but love computer games. I' am here to ask if this system my bff Sammy build for me is any good.

(She wrote system specifications on a piece of paper)

Windows XP 64Bit
Intel Core 2 Dou 3.0Ghz Overclocked to 3.5Ghz
8Gb DDR2 800Mhz Ram (4x2Gb)
2x 8800GTX with Ultra mod.
1000 Watt PSU

I have no clue what any of that is lol. I just know that Intel Core 2 Dou is a processor. I just called her up to ask what Ultra Mod is and she said it "Overclocks" my 8800GTX to be a little faster than an 8800Ultra. What in the world does that mean? But anyway will my system be able to run this game on minimum settings without lag?

Thank You Everyone

[blondgirl]

Sorry if it was a stupid question but I payed only 1000 US dollars for my computer parts and my girl put it together for free. I didn't chose parts she did but she said they were best prices and not to worry. But it was a cheap computer so I thought it might not handle stuff of this high level.

Official specs haven't been released yet, but from what we know about COD4, you *should* be fine, even with the 7900. Once you put the 8800 in, you'll be laughing.

..

Everyone - the specs haven't been released yet. There's very little point in speculating yet. Wait until they're out, then ask if you're not sure.

I'm getting a new comp, with the geForce 8600Gt direct x 10, is it not going to look like DirectX 10 without Vista? I really hope I don't need vista to run COD4 in direct X10....>!>!!>!>!>

[Whiskey]

I believe DX10 is only possible using Vista, so you would need it to run any game in DX10.

This was the case when DX10 first came out, anyway. If it has changed since then, someone please correct this if you know for sure.

[NYC]

So is it not worth getting a DirectX10 now because vista sucks i've heard for games. That means in Nov when COD4 comes out even tho I have a DX10 card and the game supports it, it wont look like it because I dont have vista??? I'm so confused.

[Whiskey]

COD4 only supports DX9 officially, not DX10.

That doesn't mean you won't be able to run it under Vista with a DX10 card, just that you likely won't get any, or much, added benefit over DX9 because it's not designed to be better in DX10.

A lot of Vista's earlier problems have been fixed, but it still is causing some issues with games, especially the 64-bit version.

My recommendation: don't worry about DX10 and Vista...just get the best vid card you can afford. If that card supports DX10, you can make the jump to Vista later on when more games support DX10. You won't have to worry about your card at that point, only updating your software.

I'm gonna guess you can play it on low :(. (or medium @ 800x600)

If you want to upgrade I would recommend an 8600GTS and another gig of RAM.

[Bradley]

OKay cool, all I know is COD2 can be played with 100% uber high settings with low lag, anyway, okay I'll see what happens. I'm not gona get another graphics card, but I hope to get extra RAm for B-DAy or with my work.

[Infiltrator]

I think I'll handle it fine since I'm playing bioshock all maxed out without dropping below 50 frames:

Pentium Core 2 duo E6750 (2.66 Ghz)
Gigabyte P35-GS4 Mobo
Asus GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB
2 Gig of 800Mhz ram
Sata HD

Other stuff doesn't matter much ;)

[Nitti]

Hi, I'm new here..and sorry, but total noob at this stuff xD

anyway..
basically, played all cod games, they all are great..
recently got new pc and will it handle cod4?

If not what would i need to upgrade?

Windows XP
Intel core 2 duo 6420 @ 2.13ghz
2gb ram
and well..only onboard graphics atm, what would be a good (cheap) card for it?

Thanks in advance..

and not to many piss takes ;)

[Whiskey]

1) the specs haven't been released yet, so no one can tell you for sure what minimum card you need to run the game well.

2) without knowing the make/model of your motherboard, no one can suggest a card for you.

[Nitti]

Oh right, well

if this makes sense to you, the make/model of the motherboard is:

ASUS P5LD2-VM 4.00 mATX i945G LGA775

make sense? ^^

[Whiskey]

Yep, this is your mobo: http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=194&model=536&modelmenu=1

In reading that, it supports PCI-Express, so when you buy a video card, be sure it is of the "PCI-E" connection type, not AGP. That's step 1.

Step 2 is to know what size of power supply your PC has, in terms of watts (W). Some video cards need bigger power supplies than others.

That's where you're at right now. Once the minimum specs are posted (probably in the next 2-3 weeks at the latest), then people will be able to make suggestions as to the most affordable card(s) you may want to look at.

[Sniper1432]

this will be be my build by November.

You should saved up some $ and went with dual 8800GTX's in SLI.

[Sniper1432]

I wont have to worry about my specs because I will be playing it on the 360 most of the time :p

[D3lit3]

Maybe I should do the same, but the GFX on an 8800 are better than on a 360 am I right?

[Sniper1432]

Maybe I should do the same, but the GFX on an 8800 are better than on a 360 am I right?

not really, I've seen Xbox 360 gameplay and it still looks really good.

[JonL]

Maybe I should do the same, but the GFX on an 8800 are better than on a 360 am I right?

it definitely will be, plus the 360 has under one gig of ram. Snipers turning into a fanboy:P

[Sniper1432]

fine I decided that I will reorder my 8800 GTS 640mb, but do you guys think it can handle high GFX with nice FPS?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2 gigs DDR2
EVGA 590 SLI
XFX Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb

[D3lit3]

Probably not if CoD4's gonna be a demanding game. I mean, look at the GFX is the SSes. You need like dual 8800 Ultra's in SLI to pump out those kind of graphics.

On second though yeah your rig will probably run on high :p

[Sniper1432]

well I read an article saying the 360 has the R500. In that case 8800>R500.

[Whiskey]

fine I decided that I will reorder my 8800 GTS 640mb, but do you guys think it can handle high GFX with nice FPS?

Most likely, yes. It's a powerful card, and although COD4 looks amazing, it is still largely based off of COD2's engine, only uses DX9, and was designed by IW to not need an uber PC.

You'll have a better idea when the specs come out with the demo, but I think you should be more than OK.

[Binkowski]

Allright just askin if my PC can run this (I may need a new processor)

Ok.. I have almost the same specs... Can my PC run Call of Duty 4, and on which settings? (I can run CoD2 though)..
I have more RAM than Binkowski, but a minor video card..

I'd say same settings mate ;)

K I decided to buy the 320mb version :p it was pretty cheap at circuit city so I picked it up. Still think it will play decently on a 1400X1050 res?

Is it possible that you could make more movies of Call of Duty4 (from the PC-version)?

Will the specs for the game be officially released when you release the demo (on friday, october 11th)?

Anything above 1280x1024, the 320mb is gonna struggle. You shoulda got the 640mb one...

[Speckled_Pants]

Ive recently bought a new pc for the up and coming games

Quad Core Q6600 @ 3.25ghz
Crucial 4GB PC2-8500 CAS5
Abit IP35-Pro Intel P35
NVIDIA 8800 GTX 768MB
Antec NINE HUNDRED Gamers ATX Case
OCZ 850W Next Generation Power Supply
Vista 64bit

Oh and btw 5.9 is the highest you can currently get on the vista experience score. I got 5.9 on everything except the hd, that got 5.8 so my base score was 5.8

[Killa4live]

Anything above 1280x1024, the 320mb is gonna struggle. You shoulda got the 640mb one...

False, if using Windows Vista RAM is also available to ur GPU, since Vista shares RAM (both ways).

This means that u just have to get fast RAM and ur ok.

Very high resolutions (aboven 1650*1440) is offcourse a bit harder for 320MB, but under that ur ok.

The big price difference in both versions is why most people buy 320MB version, at least i did.

[Sniper1432]

Anything above 1280x1024, the 320mb is gonna struggle. You shoulda got the 640mb one...

wrong this card plays every game out there at maxed detail, the 320b version are for people with low resolution monitors. According to the reviews this card can handle up to a 1600X1050 res without a sweat.

[CoDe 199]

can i run mine on high?

if you get another gig of ram the lag should go away, but you should really go for a new comp.

God, I need to upgrade. I just ordered the Dell 2407WFP, so if I want to play at any sort of decent framerate at 1920x1200, my 256MB 7950GT just ain't gonna cut it. October 29th they release the new 8800GT, so I'll probably get that, or the GTX if they come down enough in price...
