Starcraft 2 System Requirements

Wow, 128 for WC3? That's crazy. I wonder how it would run with only 128.

 

Q: Any clue what the System specs are going to be?
A: The Blizzard representative said that the game is currently running in DirectX 9.0c, with a minimum of 1 GB RAM and he was unsure about the rest of the specs.

How many gig Ram and mb grafic card do you think will be needed to play Starcraft 2 on the best resulution 2vs 2 offline smooth?

I think mine 2gig 1066 mhz Hyper X Ram (5,7 on the Windows Vista Ultimate expirence index) should could handle it!
I think a minimum of 512mb grafic card, and mine 640MB: EN8800GTS/HTDP/640M, GeForce 8800GTS, 640MB GDDR3, Dual DVI, TV-Out, HDTV, HDCP Ready, PCI-Express, Retail, Should be able to round it very smooth.

And what about online(going out a minimum of 2mb internet)? I would say it would be mutch lower, as the difference of offline and online is, that on online every computer use there Ram and Grafic card so its 4 players with each a computer, but offline its 1 pc to 4 players.

So i think it should be somehing like that:
around 2gig 800/660 mhz Ram and
this 320mb grafic card should could do it: EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M, GeForce 8800GTS, 320MB GDDR3, Dual DVI, TV-Out, HDTV, HDCP Ready, PCI-Express, Retail

 

im sad to say i probably will need a new computer and i might not get it

my CPU is only 1.5ghz and to get that faster id need a new motherboard

id also need a new graphics card and for that a new power supply :'(

but i have enough Ram ..heh :-\

ive been saving money and figure that if im to get some new hardware im gonna have to be willing to pay at least $500
but that seems like a lot to pay for one game... i kno i kno there will be more games i wanna play but still

my family situation is not helpful either ... im the only one who plays games and right now my family isnt the best financially so if i want an upgrade, im gonna have to pay for most of it :bigcry:

all i do for money is mow lawns .....i need a job

 

I have a second computer with a 7900 GS, 1.8 GHz, 2 GB Ram. I'm pretty sure that could handle SC2 on full. It handled C&C and COH on full, and SC2's engine will be much better optimized.

 

MacBook Pro here. I personally think this bad boy is a powerhouse. 2.33GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GBs of Ram, and RadeonX1600...

...however I do hope to God that it's just enough to run SC2 at highest settings. I'm gonna cry if it doesn't. I just got this thing last Christmas.

 

lol, you must be the only person here who uses a Mac

 

Jaaah, well... ya dunno what u'r missing out on. Bouncing icons! BOUNCING ICONS!

Seriously, it's like a desktop party every time I click on an application

 

I Think 1Gb, is very large for Starcraft2"

 

1 GB isn't large at all now. Most games are at the very least 2 GB, RTSes averaging at around 4 GBs.

 

Maybe he meant RAM.

 

Oh, I thought he was talking about hard drive requirements. Silly me.

 

Anyways, i am getting a new one soon. Hopefully. Still deciding whether to go for a PS3 (big time money sink ) so that i can play the new FF games, or with a new computer so that i finally can play some of my games with full graphics (my computer is about 3-4 years old - it works for most things, but there's always many cutbacks to be made - sadly).
I will probably go for the comp, seeing as FF13 and FFvs13 haven't reached the shelves yet.

 

lol, I'd personally never get a PS3, unless it gets something like a PS-live. Xbox 360 ftw. Despite its extremely stupid name. Halo 3, damnit!

 

LOL Yeah that is the one good thing about macs. I actually like a lot of things about them, but i HATE it that there is no right click. It drives me crazy.

I seriously hope you're right. Either that or I am going to have to get a new PC. Even if it does work on my stupid computer, It would be at the lowest setting.

 

I think there's special mouses you can buy that have the right click function.

 

LAWL 1 GB RAM for StarCraft 2? 2GB is already being recommended for... well just about every RTS right now. Even DoW back in 2004 recommended 2GB. SupCom could do more with 2GB.. and WiC will obviously need 2GB.

 

i voted for no, im sure i dont need a new pc right now, yesterday i just got my video card and now im ready to play crysis and other games as they are supossed to be played, and i seriously hope that blizz thinks about the ones that dont have a new pc, but still want to play the game, im sure they will.

 

I sure hope I don't... my computer was state of the art back a couple years ago, but since then HT was out and dual processing was in so I'm kinda iffy, but looking at the gameplay I'd say that I should be fine.... I mean I can play Oblivion with minimal problems ^_^

 

hopefully my macbook will do...
if not,... omg let just hope not
