Performance

[unmerged(397168)]

So I've been playing the IN demo and I've enjoyed it a lot. However, I don't have a top-notch PC and I've heard that the DW graphics can cause issues. Will I be able to run DW smoothly with these reqs:

Intel Pentium IV one-core 3.2 GHz, 2.00 GB of DDR2 RAM, and an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro (don't know how much memory but if that information is necessary I could look it up). Plenty of HDD space etc.

go to canyourunit.com divine wind is on the list there. Ive used it for a couple games before purchase

Should be playable but not great at least at low resolutions. Both CPU and video card are on the low side to get really good performance.

Do mind that this is only a skeptical analysis.
For my computer it's hardly ever near accurate.
Laggs as hell on games I run fine and not even halfway minimum of skyrim which I play on all high with proper framerate.

It mostly uses your cpu so maybe some lagg on 5-speed. graphics shouldnt be a problem.

I thought EU3 could only use 1 core of a processor anyways. So would it really be that much worse? Not that many processors are more then 3.2 GHz per processor.

Not all CPUs with the same GHz ratings are created equal; a single core of a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo or Core i7 CPU will be probably be faster in practice than a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4.

At low resolutions the CPU might be a bottleneck but at high resolutions more likely the graphics card will be the limiting factor.

I think you'll run fine. I've managed to get it up and running with worse specs. (intel integrated graphics card and less than 2.00Ghz old processor). Some tweaking like the fast graphics mod and the distance zoomout will really help the speed too.

As said, it's mostly the CPU that matters. I've been able to run it just fine with a old computer with a Intel Graphics card where Counter-Strike 1.6 and such would have bad framerates, often as low as 15-30 fps and whenever a grenade came by 2-3 fps -.-
