Gonna buy TM2, just curious if my specs are good b4 I do.

Post by Aedando »

CPU: Athlon II X4 645 (Quad-Core, 3.1Ghz).

GPU: XFX Radeon HD 5450 1GB (I play games @ 720x480 fullscreen, yes I know it's weird, but this budget card gives me 60fps on basically any new game, and over 150 on valve's source engine games, which are my main/favorite games I play-- Day of Defeat Source FTW).

RAM: 4GB DDR3-- I only have steam, chrome, dxtory, and a game open at once, so I don't need to upgrade this.

HDD: 1TB, 5400rpm.

My computer handles TM:NF great and I can run it at 30fps on fancy (720x480), 60fps on normal (720x480), and 90fps on fastest (720x480).

Yep, I play all my games on 720x480.
I would play @ 1024x600, but almost all of my games don't support it for some reason, so there's nothing between 720x480 and 1280x800 for my 16:10 monitor, and I hate having different resolutions on different games, so I decided just to go 720x480 for everything.

TM2 is very good in adapting to low performance graphics. I have even played it on an HD3450 at 1280x1024 and it was playable, albeit with low details and lower frame rates. An HD5450 is faster and at that low resolution it is more than adequate.

However, I highly recommend to at least upgrade to something as a HD5670, HD6670. Those cards start at less than 60€ and have about 3x more performance. It's a budget upgrade and the improved graphics are definitely worth it.

Oh, a new player! :yes:
I am sad after playing with the same players on Canyon, welcome.

About your config, it is good, also better than mine. You will be able to play with good graphics.
