16 km universe in GWX?

danexpat · 01-27-11, 11:13 PM

I'm running on an "old" Dell Optiplex GX520 P4 2.89 GHz .99 GB RAM, Windows XP, w/ graphics card that has binocu-less watch

.

Thoughts on whether I should bother to try to run the 16 km GWX universe?

Try it and find out.

I've played it acceptably with a little bit less system specs. As said, try it, only you know what is an acceptable framerate. Being in a harbor might be slow, but GWX also comes with mod-part with reduced harbor scenery density.

Frame rate already goes down to 4 FPS in port at TC 512 but then recovers in a few minutes when underway. I'm running 16 km universe on my current patrol with no issues so far. Single ship encounters run as smoothly as with 8 km. I think the test will be mixing it up in a convoy, but so far so good.

You should be okay but your correct.....being in an area with many other rendered objects will be the true test.
