Special Request for the Dev team

Roberto1223 · May 29, 2009, 10:20:50 PM

Is it possible for u guys to make the graphical level of detail fexible enough for many types of computers to run it.

could u guys make the settings more flexible than the UT3 game?

my computer is old and i want to be able to run the game.

it'd be cool if i could tweak the settings so i can run smooth.

my specs are:
Pentium 4 2.6ghz
ATI Radeon 2600XT AGPLOL
and 1 gig of 3200 DDR ram

I'm pretty sure your PC won't cut it.
PS is graphically more demanding than UT3, as far as I know.
We recommend at least an 8800 nVidia or AMD equivalent. (probably 3800-series).

PS is a high-end game, so yeah =/.

Lulz, try and move on to the 21. century. You won't get long with that piece of garbage computer. And if you can't afford anything better at the time PS is out you must have a very screwed economy. :P

Depends where you live at. Back when I was upgrading my PC last year, a Geforce 8800 (whichever version you wanted) wouldn't be less than 1.000 usd here so I got the 8600. Just not worth it, imo.

What the fuck are you talking about, it should run perfectly maxed on that....

My PC has a ATI Radeon X1600 PRO, 765MB of RAM (Yes, my 1GB died...) and a AMD Athlon XP 2800.

The general rule is, if you can run UT3 at low settings, you can run PS pretty much maxed out.

Well, atleast most people live in well developed countries. ;)

Besides, why didn't u order the 8800 from USA?

Roberto1223 · May 30, 2009, 09:40:09 PM

the video card i have
which is the ATI 2600xt is supposed to be the competitor of the nvidia 8600gt

but i think my processor is limiting my cards power because u have an ATI 1600 and ur running with a better processor and ur framerate is probably better than mine.

Importing taxes, the brazilian government is just a pain in the ass. Plus, I found no store that would actually ship to Brazil, only a special brazilian company that would charge another 10 or 20 % of the product's value to get it here.

Two weeks ago I imported some Ultimate Ears canalbuds and I had to pay 77% of the final price plus shipping to the government once it reached customs.

Well, after reading Lennard's posts, I guess I was wrong. But we'll see during testing. I might have confused it with some new tech that drops performance to 20 fps (which we're not using).

This is not true at all.

The lighting in PS is far more demanding than UT3 and will require much more resources.

i hope.

Holy ****, That sucks. How 'bout traveling to USA, buy the parts for your PC, travel back home? Woulden't that be the cheapest?

That's what I usually do every 2 years. When I go to the US/europe I usually buy everything I will possibly need in the near future that I wouldn't be able to get here. However, paying 800 usd on plane tickets just to get some in-ear phones is OBVIOUSLY not that much of a deal. ;)

Divide it by 2 and you have the price in USD.
