Starcraft 2 System Requirements

since SC2 is expected to be in stores next year, that should give me enough time to save $$$ for my upgrades

 

blizzard has stated that starcraft 2 will be out simultaniously for xp mac and vista

and i thought the same thing when i first heard about sc2 i was thinking. W00+

oh and welcome to starcraft2forum

 

tweak, how do you have the probe that ups your bank intrest rate

 

magic skillz i secretly stole it from sc2forum the only person other then me with a probe like this muahahahahhahahahah

not really idk i dont even own a regular pet probe yet mysteriously when the site came back online after sc2forum (supposedly) fixed the bank intrest i had this new pet probe

 

basicly thats it though sometimes if you own a certian item you will get a special item thru special means. like people who had the kerrigan doll mysteriously had double money one time....

so not fair there were only 3 of them and only rich people had them.

also certian probes increase your intrest rate like my pet probe

 

right now there is a 0% intrest rate in banks and sc2forum is messing with the banks so i wouldnt put any money in there till hes done.

 

ooo a new member. XD. cool didnt know we were first on google. that's awesome ^^ oh and it kinda pays to be a collector. you get bonuses every now and then. like just now stalkers got the name change for free. yup but stalkers are pretty expensive.

 

This is a thread for posting info on any info on system requirements for SC2. So far we know from the interview that the game will require a Pixel Shader 2.0 compatible video card, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is for nVidia cards, FX and above. I'm not sure about the ATI cards, however. Looking at the screenshots and the videos, I'll make an assumption about the system requirements. This is mostly by comparing with other RTS games.

CPU: an Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz or equivelant
Ram: at least 512 MB of RAM for XP, 1 GB for Vista
Graphics Card: a Pixel Shader 2.0 compatible card w/ Directx 9.0
At least 3 GB of free HD space.

Note that this is all an assumption and that the actual requirements for the game will vary, and since this was compared to other modern RTS's, such as CoH, Supreme Commander, etc., this will be a very rough estimate, as the level of optimization was not accounted for.

 

What kind of window will SC II fit in if its vista or Windows Media I'm Gonna DIE >.>

If u find out tell me

 

hmm? i dont think it will be microsoft related i mean if they are releaseing it simultaniously for xp vista and mac as they say they cant have3 some preordeaned contract for microsoft so it will probably be a standered gaming window?

or if you mean will it work with xp?= yes

 

No. With the graphics involved and the scale of gameplay. You're looking at borderline 3.2 ghz recommended, a gig atleast recommended, a 128-256 card depending.

Now I say recommended because its just not fun playing at the minimum requirements. Thats just laggy and unamusing.

 

mac g5 with intel chip...

 

aye hopefully my new Geforce 7600 should handle SC2 well

 

Ok, I received a new laptop for my birthday , its a tablet pc , and its has very strong graphic card, I want to know if starcrat2 could be played with the stencil while in the Tablet mode... That would be just so cool...

 

lol radeon 5200 lol no way that will work.

but my nvidia 7600 GT should be up to the task.

i think my onboard- vidio card is better then that one.

 

still i remember hearing sumwhere that they were planning to make the game work on a range of computer specifications, so it might work with older vid cards and less ram, but it just wont be as pretty

of course the graphics they show you will be at max graphics options so i wouldnt base the min requirements on the pics

there may be hope for those with older computers

I think that is a big market; people who dont have the latest computer hardware

 

me?
i dont know
that sounds pretty good tho

 

You think SC2 will make use of dual core and hyperthreading? Has there been any mention of dual core features?

Right now I have 2x 8600GT 256MB SLi
AMD Athlon X2 4400+ (I think im not sure, the one that runs at 2.4GHz)
2Gig RAM

 

that sounds good

im not sure about hyperthreading or dual core

im sure they will release info as we get closer

 

they will likely have multi core support, atleast the MAC version will
also, its not really the graphics but the sheer number of units onscreen that will kill your computer. if you can handle 800 units in CC with your current PC then you might be able to handle sc2 on low settings
