xbox360 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Well GFX card wise, go for a Nvidia card, anything over a 5200 should run the game smoothly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Any modern, ie new computer will work. If you want to play games you might want to put a few extra coins into your graphics card. (well, not literally ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinohie Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Ok and what would be the minimum specifications for RAM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) 256MB if your client is compiled with USE_LOW_MEM. Otherwise, 512. Seriously, EL isn't that high-spec - just that people insist on running it on computers with five-year-old graphics cards or no graphics drivers or an ati card under linux. Â Actually, my computer IS five years old, and it runs fine. Imagine that. Edited April 17, 2007 by freeone3000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats because of Vista not EL ... and getting EL to work under Vista will be a challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Get a Nvidia card in the 7000 series (preferably 7600 GS or higher). If you want all the eye candy, you will need something powerful, especially when we will have normal maps and stuff like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirdan Report post Posted April 17, 2007 If your getting a windows os computer they allready have pretty good processors for el and stuff, but some of the graphics cards are on board ones which are decent but you might want to invest in a real graphics card. Im pretty sure all vista computers come with a gig now in them of ram which will run el but if you want to run el really fast you might want to get allitle more ram but i think 1gig might be fine for el. it really depends on your budget how fast you want to run el and how often you play el or other games. If you play high end graphics games id spend the extra money and get allitle better stuff. but if you only play el or other games once and a while i wouldent spend as much.

Can you give a list from nvidia/ati that can run el+full aero functions at the same time on vista? Â Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 They haven't made one good enough yet, unless you can run Aero with non-Microsoft drivers. Then it'd probably be a 7000 or higher from Nvidia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaNora Report post Posted April 19, 2007 good gosh people, im running a dell optiplex 160L that is a few years old, designed to be a business computer with intel 82845 g/gl/ge/pe/gv integrated video, and 128 ram, lol, and it run perfect most of the time!

Entropy Report post Posted April 19, 2007 The game is designed to work on really old computers (almost 10 years old), but if you want to get the maximum out of it (nice, smooth shadows and various effects) you will need a modern computer. In the future, we will add some even more cpu/gpu intensive stuff so having a good video card is a really good idea, especially that they are pretty affordable nowdays.
