Title: Minimum GFX requirements
Post by: Richard "Snakeeyes11" Walsh on January 26, 2013, 04:20:56 pm

Looks like the devs have finally put an error message in place which confirms my suspicions. It says my Video Card doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

Can someone let me know what minimum requirements are gfx card wise? Thanks.

I did some research and Torque 3D has this minimum requirement.  No idea how correct this is as I am not a Graphic Card freak.

Memory: WinXP - 1GB RAM/WinVista, Win7 – 2GB RAM
Graphics: Graphics: DirectX 9.0c Shader 3.0 supported, Nvidia 6800 or 7300 or better, ATI Radeon X1300 or better
DirectX®: 9.0c

If this is somewhat correct or one of you card freaks can tell us more.  It would be a great sticky thread in the newcomers section.

i would say AWS minimum specs are slightly higher than that. Devs have mentioned the torque 3d engine they run is heavily modified.

Yep and my laptop with an X1600 card gets the same error message. My temporary GT 520 can run AWS without much trouble though.

Thanks for the replies. I'll do a little more research myself and buy a new card this week and see how that goes.

Hello people,

Apparently the game runs even with integrated intel video cards. I tested it with Intel HD Graphics 2000 and it runs at about 20 FPS with some details. For F4 running maybe its ok but for doing something else...its let's say ...a bit inconvenient. :'(

OFF: As for me,  my problem is a tricky one. I have 2 graphic cards on my laptop and apparently the game is kinda picky when it comes down to run the game and picks out the lame, integrated card instead of a better and more suitable geforce card. The problem persists even if I try to run it by right clicking on the game icon and picking the nvidia card. Does anybody else encountered this ?

respects,

My laptop also has two graphic cards - it also has a visible indicator about which card is in use - the in-game options window always shows the integrated card ... even when the laptop says is it using the nvidia card.
