Official system requirements

[jldena]

Thank you klem,

Do you think the procesor will help? that intel i7 is one of the new intel procesors called second generation also called "sandy bridge".

Seen as we are aren't getting a demo I thought I'd try games with similar minimal requirements; (8800 / core duo 2)..... nearest match I could find was the Crysis 2 mp demo.

It seemed to be just about playable on lowest res 800x600 and gamer mode, still think i'll hold out for a hard copy just incase.. I remain hopeful my little dell xps 13 with a 210m is upto the task.

The only sim I have that might be close to what COD will be is ROF. The extensive flight models and heavy duty graphics and maps seem to me like they may be a close fit.

I am running a Palit Geforce 560Ti 2gig. When you do the settings in ROF it shows you what percentage of video ram you are using and when you get to 90% it flags a warning. Running at 1920x1080 with all the bells and whisltes turned up all the way I am using 53% of my available video ram. After I fly I close out the sim and pop up MSI Afterburner and it shows that I was using about 1.3 gig worth.

No one has actually laid hands on COD yet, so we dont know what is all going to be required for all the bells and whistles. But on ROF if you want to turn everything up you better have more than 1gig of video memory. 1.5 at a minimum. Bty, I get upper 50s to mid 60s fps in flight and upper 40s to low 50s in dogfights over a detailed landscape at low altitude. It is not jerky at all and would not know the frame rate even lowered if I was not running fraps. Running the card oc at 920 core and 2400 (4800) memory at stock voltage

The sad fact is we really have no clue as to what COD will take to run it with everything wide open till we get our hands on it. Seems kind of unfair.

That's not so easy either for the same reasons but I would think it will be better placed in CPU terms than your card will be in GPU terms. I'm guessing medium settings.

But that's only my guess. I would certainly say that with a PC (Laptop?) of that spec I wouldn't go rushing out to get something else until you have seen what it can deliver.
I have a laptop with the i7-720QM 1.6GHz and ATI/AMD 5250 GPU and it runs Microsoft FSX beautifully and if you look here
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_look...00+%40+2.00GHz
You'll see that gets a benchmark score of 3266 whilst yours gets 3563. I know benchmarks don't always tell you how a game will run but it's a reasonable guide for CPU comparisons.

Anyway, in two and a half weeks time we'll know

Thanks klem, as you say, Ill have to wait and see what happens.

Hey guys, I currently have this pretty old PC :

C2D E6750 2,66Ghz
2Gb RAM DDR2 PC6400
8800GTX 768Mb
The rest is of the same level.

I can't afford a new PC right now so, would it be worth it to buy CoD nevertheless?

Even RoF runs pretty well...

Thanks.

I would say yes,you should be ok at lower settings,but another 2GB of ram would help a lot.

Just finished building my new PC for this (and shogun 2)
12GB tripple channel RAM
i7 960
EVGA GTX 580
2x 1TB HDD Raid0
27" LED LCD
TrakIR 5
nothing else matters

Gonna rock!

I haven´t heard anything about il-2 cod supporting multi-core. But i´m assuming it does....right?

You'll soon know from others that do buy it and report back. Should be able to judge from that so you could wait if you like.
