Out of curiosity I installed an X1950 Pro 256MB I had lying around in my wife’s machine (Athlon X4 3.1GHz, 4GB DDR-3 1333 at the time) and installed RoF - it ran very well on above-minimum settings. RoF’s requirements on their website are headed as ‘Recommended’ with no reference to a ‘minimum’ spec, and most would (correctly) interpret them as ‘Required’.
I think Volksieg has made an interesting point – a higher (or more realistic) minimum spec may have avoided a lot of the animosity seen here, but may have cost sales. This decision would typically have been made by the marketing department, perhaps with insufficient knowledge of the product.
