Far Cry 2 has at last had the minimum and recommended specs revealed for the PC version, so check them out within.

Seraphim2150 · 8th Aug 2008, 18:06

Is it just me or do those actually seem quite reasonable?

DougEdey · 8th Aug 2008, 18:12

They seem extremely reasonable, maybe it's the Farcry Engine

Dannythemusicman · 8th Aug 2008, 18:13

Maybe these are recommended specs to be able to play it on 'low detail' mode??? Having said that I remember reading that the engine has gone through some heavy optimisation so with any luck those specs are indeed correct.

HourBeforeDawn · 8th Aug 2008, 18:24

well those do seem pretty reasonable but typically even recommended specs is never really recommended and something higher is needed, its kinda like min is for very low, recommended is for like medium and then something top notch for high.

Gaah it looks like my 8400M GT won't be able to handle this T-T

Burnout21 · 8th Aug 2008, 18:37

yay theres life still in my 8800GTS 320MB, tho at 1920x1200 it might be a different story....

Krikkit · 8th Aug 2008, 18:37

That looks pretty good - depends how it actually runs though. So many games have had sensible minimum specs then run like a dog.

mrb_no1 · 8th Aug 2008, 18:43

thats is very reasonable, atleast people wont be bitching about how shite their pc is and how games try to force them to upgrade all the time like they did with crysis....if you wanna play the most graphically awesome and detailed game pull your wallet out, otherwise shhhhhh....still back to the news thread, its good news as maybe with it being more accessible to more gamers, they will make some proper money from it and prove that pc gaming isnt dying, farcry 2 should be good

peace

seveneleven · 8th Aug 2008, 18:57

Yeah totally agree with what he said ^ Maybe the "Dunia" engine is very well coded but I somehow doubt that you could see all those nice flame effects on a slow machine.

I hope that this game turns out great because the team behind is a very talented and young one and they really deserve to put out a good product.

zimbloggy · 8th Aug 2008, 19:34

thats actually not that bad. lower than assassin's creed, which was ridiculous.

Firehed · 8th Aug 2008, 19:40

Not too horrible... all things considered. I suppose I'll need to grab a good gaming card to throw in the MP for boot camp gaming.

tranc3 · 8th Aug 2008, 19:41

Guess now i know my goals for the upgrade

Cadillac Ferd · 8th Aug 2008, 19:58

Noooorrrs my 9500 pro won't make the cut! ...Not that I was expecting it to or anything but hey, a broke guy can dream.

i doubt those recomended specs will provide the stunning visuals I've been seeing of farcry 2

Mach1.9pants · 8th Aug 2008, 21:22

Recommended specs are such a waste of time. The MOST important thing to how the game will run is what resolution you are going to run it at! It is never referenced in rec. set. (and often not in not tech savvy reviews of games and gear). I would imagine those rec. sets. would give pretty rubbish frame rates on a 30" monitor!

A waste of time IMO

looks like i'll have to wait for Rage's recommended spec for an upgrade goal.

i highly doubt those recommended are what's required to max the game.

Yemerich · 8th Aug 2008, 23:47

I thought they are quite acceptable specs. I really hope those recommend could get us to a high level od detail... but i doubt it.

i'll see what happens when i run this at 1680x1050.
