Can You Run It? (spec help)

[TheRabidDeer]

I dunno about this systemrequirements site... my processor is rated at 7.2GHz? I have 2.1GB of video ram?

I mean, sure... it works in that it probably can tell if you can run it or not but is it really the best available o.O

You should be fine. Maybe you'll have to turn some cpu intensive settings down a little (tbh though it's a core 2 duo so even the lowest of them can run it fine), but you should be able to "enjoy" the game with some eyecandy.

Graphics wise your fine, probably can run with Ultra shaders.

Sick. Thanks for the help, I feel very comfortable with playing Starcraft II.

Just for reference when I get the game: What general or specific settings would someone want to turn down in order to improve performance on Starcraft II?

I'm getting worried about this!!! D: <

As I said before, turning down shaders increases performance ALOT and I mean ALOT.

Altough it will look alot more cartony and warcraft 3 like. But hey, I liked how the crystals looked better on low settings

It probably got that number because it's a quad core, but I can tell you by looking at the parts themselves (and AMD quad core w/ a GF 8800) that you'll have no problem.

When you go into graphics options, it'll tell you what stuff stresses out either the CPU or graphics card. I would start out on the default "High" settings, and if it runs smooth play around from there. Shaders and terrain foilage have the biggest effect on graphics card (and are uber important in making the game look good) and stuff like physics, effects, and reflections effect the cpu.

I don't have the recommended OS (only on XP), but will that really make much of a difference? I'm not exactly tech-savvy.

On what level of graphics do you think I'll be able to run it?
I've got:
-Intel Core i5 3.2 GHz processor
-3.2 GB RAM
- NVIDIA 9400 GT 1024 MB
I'm running it with windows 7 btw

What??? How dare that website tell me I barely pass the minimum requirements. I have an Asus g51 and I can run Crysis on max setting with NO problem. Stupid sys. requirements lab.

[Kimera757]

That site doesn't work for me. It simply refuses to download the software. And I know it's not a security problem.

I don't know but PC specs but I know they aren't good enough for SC2. So as-is I'll be getting the game but won't be able to play it for a little bit.
