Hi Robin,

Welcome to the forums!

Everything on your system seems to be capable of running SSE although your graphics card is just below the minimum required to play the game. You might just about get away with it though.

The demo is going to be released in September at some point, so you could either wait for the demo or chance it by purchasing the game.

As I said, the rest of your system is fine, but the card may or may not be able to handle the graphics to an acceptable level.

I have a slightly better graphics card than you and the game runs, but very very poorly, it´s unplayable with these fps and I think your performance will be even lower. When on open sea the game runs fine, but in harbours the fps are in the 15-18 range at most.

I wouldn´t have bought it when I were you, unless you consider upgrading your gpu soon.

Well, since I found this thread I might aswell ask if mine will work.
I think I can run it kinda well, but just asking that I haven't missed anything ;)

Here is my DxDiag, you'll find every info you'll need:

Hi FinlandUsername,

You shouldn't have too many problems although your processor could be a littl faster. The graphics card is higher than the recommended, however do you have an external graphics card or are they onboard (IE. Do you plug your monitor into the motherboard directly)?

Adam

Ohh I see. Have you disabled the onboard video and using only the external one? If you're not sure just let me know :)

Wait, I lost myself too. :doh: So nothing... :P

I'm not sure about that. I haven't changed anything from my computer since I got it. :)

(Except updated graphics cards and some other things) ;)

Right, so you're sure that you have a external graphics card in your computer? :)

Well, yes I think.

So my computer will run SSE just fine. :thumbs:
At least it runs SS08 with all high settings and with really playable fps.

Hi FinlandUsername,

Well it really does depend, I have a GeForce GTX 260 and it seems to run normal games ok. I would say go ahead a try it, but at the same time don't throw pies at me should you get poor performance ;D

That doesn´t mean much, I run SS08 with all high settings and extreme doesn´t run very well at all on my rig.

For me it's just enough that I can play SSE with low-medium settings and with playable FPS.

We'll see. :)

Well, thanks for this info you gave. :thumbs:

*Throws pie to Spencer* ;D

We'll see how my computer handles SSE, at least when demo is released, maybe sooner. :)

Hi there,

Not necessarily, the game has been known to run on slightly lower spec computers. It is wierd however why people who have very top spec hardware are unable to get the performance they should.

It's all about configuration, if your PC is not configured right, then the game speed will undoubtably reflect this :)

This shouldn't be a problem, should it ?

Windows 7 Ultimate
AMD 64 Athlon X2 6000+, 3.0Ghz
4GB DDR2 Dominator
XFX Nvidia Geforce GTS 250, 1GB, GDDR3

Haven't yet come across a game I can't max in graphics settings.

Hi Jimpaf,

Based on your computer you should be able to run the game fine :)

Hi, sorry don't want to steel your tread or something, but didn't want to start a new one either :P but anyway I have a question. I have an AMD phenom prosessor, clocked to 3.5 GHZ, 4 gb ram and my graphics card is an nVidia Geforce 9500, but I have an ATI 4770 series which I'm not using. And since I'm experiancing some lagg in SSE i'm just wondering if you guys think it would have run better with the ATI card?
