Direct X: DirectX 9.0c

Recommended
CPU: P4 3.0GHz
RAM: 2GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 7600
Operating System: Windows XP
Hard Disk: 6,000MB
Direct X: DirectX 9.0c

Not that I don't trust you :P but the obvious question is going to be: link?

Doesn't it seem a bit odd that the minimum and recommended RAM/GPU are the same? :P Anyway if those minimum specs are correct, it suggests that Huxley will be another U3 engine game that doesn't require Shader Model 3.0 support, which is a good sign for people with older GPUs but decent processors.

Okey, I could agree with the minimum specification, but as for the recommended here's Murvels recommended setup instead;

CPU: Dualcore+
GFX: Geforce 8600+
RAM: 2Gb+

[gobbly2100]

Sorry about that, there was a small misprint, fixed it now.

I got the information from the official Korean Huxley website.

[connnnn]

That makes more sense :P

[Murvel]

Ah, agreed.

Well I still think that 8600 is as low as you can get when it comes to a recommended system.

ok if someone can understand what im asking P4 @ 3.0 Ghz how does that compare to a core 2 duo at a lower freq or a Q6700 at 2.66 Ghz?

[vircotto]

Go to Tom's Hardware - Computer Hardware News, Tests, Ratings and Reviews and look on the CPU charts I find them very usefull

[BadBug]

Will this be good enough
I'm planing to buy a new laptop but I wanted to be able to be at the minimum levels at least, for huxley.
I have 2 xbox360 and 1 original xbox, so spending money on a gaming pc is out of question.
But I do need to get a new laptop, so I found a Toshiba for $800
2 G Ram
1.9 or 1.5 (not sure) AMD Dual core
200 HD
and a dedicated video card with 128 MB (netvia) or something like that.
Sorry for all the litle info but I don't talk very good geek

Thanks

You may have a rig that could run it, but most of the target audience wouldn't. If you look at the sales for games like Crysis, they weren't that good partly because people didn't have (or at least think they had) a system capable of running it.

By making the game run on a wide variety of machines, which is done in part through the unreal engine technology stuff, you allow the game to be played (a.k.a. bought...... $$$) by more people and can then make more money from it. If the game could only be played by a few people with mammoth machines, then there would be no point in making servers that could support 5000 people.

Of course the easy fix for that is for you to buy everyone a better PC.

Theres quite a significant difference if the assumption is correct that this game is driven by the latest UT3 engine. The core 2 Duo is actually the better chip due to the quad core config and the ability to support 1033 fsb. The Q6700 is the better chip

That engine takes advantage of dual core systems and is made specifically to work with Nvidia's SLI stuff.

With the Q6700, you will have a very long shelf life. If you don't like it running at 2.66, go and get a bad ass air cooler and overclock the cpu to 3.6.

Those line of chips are ridiculously easy to overclock. You can get it stable at 3.6 EASILY as long as you tweak the voltage settings correctly. I have my Q6600 running stable at 3.6ghz on air (cpu comes stock at 2.4) The temps and voltages are also very much in the safe zone so you don't have to worry about shortening life of your cpu. It also won't break your cpu warranty since the voltages are not higher than what intel recommends. No need for water cooling unless you want 3.7+

AGRRR...I wont be able to play it...I got 512MB and 6200 NVIDIA GeForce card...GRRR, lol.

[eclipsedmind]

Looks like the 360 is the only way for me to go....~sigh~
But great to know the specs for it...Seriously is, reassuring the game is still coming.

[Toddster]

Not kidding, lol. It was supposed to be here in 2006 summer...It's very slow!
