Hi!

What's the recommended hardware configuration needed for FL?

Post Wed Jan 29, 2003 9:57 am

here. The FAQ should answer a lot of your questions.

Those specs have to make you smile eh?

Still I think I might get rid of my 800 and pick up a 2ghtz just in case, i'm well past my upgrade date anyway.

My sentiments exactly Mustang.

This is the first game i'll buy in ages, and i'll buy a new computer just to play it.


(on a tight budget though, so i'll buy a K7S5A board with a XP2000+ so i can stick my old 1GB SDRAM into it. together with my GF4-TI4200SE, i should be able to play at a reasonable res. (at least better than with my current PIII-500))

The requirements are pretty light, but I can tell you that if you have a great system, you won't be disappointed either. Since I haven't been attending my "computer upgraders anonymous" meetings, I've again spent too much money and upped my system. I can tell you though, that with a Radeon 9700 pro, and the Direct3D settings maxxed out, the game looks SPECTACULAR! So, both systems, those that just make the requirements, and uber systems, will benefit!

Edit: Where are my manners???? Welcome Askel!

Anyway, what res are u using, also directx and driver would be nice to know.

I have DX9 installed using the latest 3.01 drivers from ATI

Thanks!

Totally OT but hey, one of the best damn SCi Fi movies ever made, even if it has nothing to do with P.K.D's book 8)

Have you seen the director's cut BTW? without Ford's voice over?

Much better.

GE, that is more than enough to get the game running smoothly with everything turned up.

well, since GE listed his specs I might as well myself:
P4 1.8 ghz
1.0 gig of SDRAM
GeForce 3, with 64 mb of ram, with the latest drivers
and a Sound Baster live with environmental audio to top it off

Will they release a demo?

I want to make sure my video card will work for it before I bought it.



I have one of those intel intergrated video card thingies.

Post Fri Jan 31, 2003 11:38 am

Welcome Smashmode...

Whether that Intel Integrated Card thingie will run FL or not... I think a lot of us would recommend that you upgrade NOW... before it is tttooooo llaatttee

Seriously... those are evil... evil I tell you.


Welcome Askel... I think you're machine will be ok, heck, I just went from a PII 300.... eeekk!!

Now a 2100+, Ti4600, 512Mb, Surround Sound.... aaahhhhh

I actually thought that Decker's voice over made the film better. Gave it a more kinda "gumshoe" classic detective feel.

I think that verrsion had the ridiculous ending, tho, where it cuts to them driving away out in the country. It's alot better/bleak/stark where they rush to the lift, and the door closes... and then that's it.

Post Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:00 pm

I think i might need to get more ram looking at every ones specs....i've only got a teeny weeny 256!!
