Did anyone find a correct system to test my computer for AOC. I found 1 and the test says I am above the minimum, the problem is that the information I got from the forums is that my computer wont be able to play this game. If you find anything let me know, I cant change my whole computer right now, but I got the budget for maybe some memory and graphics card.

Thanks,

Boubou

This may be a little dated Boubou but try this http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest

I think having a graph card that can use direct X 10 and 4 megs of ram is a good start.

Amazingly enough, I check my bank account today and there is a free $700 from the government, I think I just found my new pc parts fund. Check your bank accounts for those stimulus checks!!!

woo, I made it over recommendations ;D

passed everything on minimum, but failed on Recommended because of my CPU

I passed close to the minimun, but I dont know if my card takes directx10, will check tonight, and I only have 1 gig ram, I was thinking going to 2, I had no idea people had 4 now.

It seems I got used to my xbox360 that does not need to be upgraded.

Almost every test was either 4/6 or 5/6 except for my hard drive which had me shocked because I thought my rig wouldn't be able to handle it. I will still get 2 more gigs of ram though. The video card was at 3/6 so I may need to pick up a new vid card as well.

I pass on minimum, just shy of recommended, but it still didn't run very well on my machine. This was before the most recent patch though, where apparently many issues were fixed? I'm just going to take a copy from work and try the final release.

Any known memory leaks like DAoC @ launch?

if my computer is too slow, I can always do a...

/vidreset

hehe

Can anyone tell me how much space is required for the game. It says 30 gig in the test, but I have never seen a game so large.

I want to try the game and see if I like it before I change my computer. The only thing I dont have right now to play as minimum is the 30 gig.

My install folder is 24.1 gig.

My current rig is as follows:

AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.1 GHz
EVGA VC-Nvidia Geforce 7600 512mb
2 x 1024 MB Super Talent pc3200 DDR 400mz Ram(the mobo has 2 free slots for more ram.
Asus A8N32-sli Motherboard
80 gig sata hard drive(this is real problem. I will probably by a new HDD as well as the ram)


I am looking to purchase another 2 gigs do you think this will be enough or should I upgrade more?

kinda funny how games went from like 4-5gigs to 20-30gigs in like 6 months.

I'm not a hardware geek anymore, but that is going to be your biggest bottleneck I think. The difference between an 8600 and 8800 is pretty significant. I play low or med depending on the area with my 8600, and it is a tad jerky at medium. Mosthula has an 8800 and otherwise similar box, and he can play at high, with a bit of jerkiness.

More ram never hurts of course
