I got an intel Pentium 4 at 2 gigs
256 ddr ram
and a geforce 64mb mx
and a 56k
will i be ablbe to do good? im worried abotu the card

If my rig is good than yours definately is. the ggeforce 2 may be old but its a helluva card.

Guys, im running FL with a TNT2, ok? Anything more than that should be great!!!

I am personally worried about the performances I might get with this game.

I have everything above the system requirement except my CPU:

Intel PIII 600Mhz
Ati Radeon 64 DDR
512 Megs ram
Sb live 5.1
Windows Xp

I don't plan on playing the game with everything maxed out, if I could play the game in 1024X768 with medium to low settings... I'd be happy... but if anyone has a similar setup and wants to share their settings and performances, I'd appreceate a lot.

You Cats' worry too much... I think you should all read the Brain's response before posting your "worries".

EB and MD have some of the crappiest gaming computers I've ever seen, but they ran FL pretty good... Well, it takes them half an hour to jump from one system to another (I can do it without loading at all, so whenever we're traveling together I have to wait around on the other end)

Dredloch,

I dont think the game will run smooth on your machine because of your CPU speed. Since freelancer is a single player game primarily, it will be CPU dependent. I think you should try to upgrade.

Compared to how well the game looks, it is very conservative on the PC Requirements. MP really requires a good pipe to the Net, but if you consider that a 32MB TNT2 graphics card (a card close to 4 years old!) and a PC with a 450 MHz P3 CPU ran this game well enough, most of you guys should be homefree.

Basicly: if you bought a new PC in the last 3 years, I can't see any issue. If it is 4 years old, if it was a top computer back then, you are OK. If it is 5 years old, you should upgrade. This is only a "rule of thumb", and you all read the FAQ on this issue, right?

Bargib: With the computer specs you mentionned, how were the performances in game? What was the resolution and details level used to make the game enjoyable ?

I don't think that anyone will have to worry a great deal about their rigs being able to handle Freelancer.
If I remember correctly the minimum specs posted were quite low.

I can still get a decent framerate in Unreal 2 and C&C Generals (which is a real system killer: it's minimun is p3 1000Mhz), granted with lower detail.

My rig:
win XP
Athlon 550
256 pc100 ram
radeon 7200

Being that FL takes place in space, it has very little geometry to render up compared to something like the latest FPS games.

In short, I'm not worried at all and if your system beats mine (and who's doesn't?), you needn't worry either.

I love that picture, Waxpants.

@ guibs, the performaces on that system (and on a crappier system) where pretty good, playing at 800x600 at highest detail, only resulted in a few hickups but nothin serious


Looking at your system specs you should have no probs at all, your 612 megs of ram and your 64 meg vid card should pull you thouhg nicely, you'll be able to run at 1280x1024 with max detail

What iRON mONKEY?.... My CPU is just fine.. p3 733. Besides, I have 256 RDRAM 64mg geForce 4mx.

How about those blazers?

Geez, you're lucky Waxpants, my framerate is terrible in Unreal 2 even with a P4 2.53 GHz, GeForce 4 Ti4200 @ 310/620, and 512MB of PC2700 DDR, detail settings don't seem to matter much, it can really drop fast in some areas.
