Recommended Minimums For playing GWX

krashkart · 02-27-10, 03:29 PM

I searched around till my eyes bled looking for this information. If I missed it, my apologies in advance for breaking a golden rule.

I am considering GWX as a next step in SH3 experience. What would be some good minimum computer specs, GWX kaleuns?

Here is what I have:

~1.6GHz Intel Atom hyperthreaded
256MB video RAM
1GB memory

The memory will be upgraded to 2 gigs soonly. The video adapter is integrated and cannot be upgraded.

Based on that information, if I upgrade my SH3 install to GWX 3.0, will my computer burst into a spectacular ball of flame and melt when I fire up the simulation? Or will I be safe enough to not have a fire company on hand?

You can run it just but not very well, up your ram to 2gig that will make a big difference.

GWX was specifically designed to run on any system that can run stock SH3. They actually avoided using stuff that could cause serious problems. it could have been even better, but at a cost they wanted to avoid.

You should be fine the way you are. The RAM upgrade can't hurt, though.

Okay, thank you GREY WOLF 3 and Sailor Steve. I'll give it a shot.

Are you trying to play it on a netbook ?

Yes indeed I am, Sir FIREWALL. Works pretty well.

What prompted you to ask, if I may ask?
