Question What are the System specs of your PC?

I know that these are listed somewhere but I am still wondering since a few of us have played the game now and it is usually not 100% correct what it says on the official site etc. So, how good are your computer and what settings do you play on? If anyone have a computer with under 2Ghz and 512 Meg Ram and it works wonders, tell me :).

Also, at what FPS is it running on your machine when walking around, fighting etc.

Thanks :)

My own computer is as follows:

1,8 GHz
512 Mb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 32 meg (I think, or is it 64? )

And the game actually run pretty smooth. In crowded areas like the Arena I get around 10-15 FPSwhen running around but when the fight starts I am at a nice 22 - 25 FPS. Pretty cool since I didn't thought my computer would handle this game very well! I will soon post my PvP experiences so far and what I think etc.

I have a 755 Mhz Processor
a Geforce 2
and 256 Ram.
It works fine, but the graphics look plane and boring. Its the same empty, boring, orange,desert.....
if they would have made the setting (not as in menu, but as in the place you play in) more exiting I would have liked it more..

But I still haven't played alot yet. Only entered the city/destroyed piece of ruble, walked along the wall, and did the renegade mission.

I'm not to impressed yet...
I was expecting something more exiting
+ it's disappointing that it's not a MMORPG like world of war craft, were you can leave the city (with no loading) and go wack some guys head off, and If some one would want to join in, thats fine with me...

In other words their are no alot of people (from what I've seen) that are running around doing stuff (exept in town), and they all look really plastic

P4 HT 2.8Ghz 800mhz FSB with 1024mb PC2700 DDR, and a Radeon 9800 Pro 128. Running off of a 80gb 7200 RPM harddrive. Let me tell you, the game runs like a dream. I get 25-50 fps at 1600x1200 all settings maxed.

I did install on my friends PC this afternoon, which is a Athlon XP 1400 1.1 Ghz, 256mb DDR Ram, and a Radeon 9200 128, and I ran great at 800x600 with low settings. Got about 20-40 fps both in town and on missions, and it didnt even look that bad either.

It runs way better than EQ ever did, which I find amazing considering this is the alpha.

I'm running close to the minimum requirements listed for the game.

I've got the graphics cranked down to the "fast" mode...

Its playable (probably because i'm used to playing games a bit choppy) at around 15 fps during fights and about 20 fps running around..

Like I said though, its playable, looks good enough and it'll do for the 3 days we get to play this :)

I'd run the game on anything at this point, worse case scenario is that you can provide a bit of input on what comp doesn't run the game.. At this point though its only very very alpha and we're only gonna get to enjoy it for 3 days.. so no worries.

This game is probalby not even the alpha version of the game.. Take it with a grain of salt. Its VERY easy to get into a 'play' situation just go to the arena and hit enter mission, you'll immediately be in a PVP style play. The game is designed with guilds and team v team in mind.. so likely this kind of play will be the primary focus of the game. Things look plastic because they want people to get on and see it.. if it was a 400 meg download with gorgeous sky textures then no one would play..
