Can't play it at the moment though, unfortunately I can't download files of 4 GB at my current location. Do you think I'll be able to run the beta on minimum settings with these specs? # Operating system:Windows 2.6.0.6000 () # CPU type:AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55 # CPU Speed (GHz):1.82 # System memory (GB):1.748 # Graphics card model:NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M # Graphics card driver:nvd3dum.dll # Desktop resolution:1440x900 # Hard disk size (GB):51.144 # Hard disk free space (GB):3.173 Hope to see you soon on Bnet!
Here is mine: # Operating system:Windows 2.6.0.6001 (SP 1) # CPU type:Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz # CPU Speed (GHz):2.421 # System memory (GB):2.999 # Graphics card model:NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS # Graphics card driver:nvd3dum.dll # Desktop resolution:1440x900 # Hard disk size (GB):116.442 # Hard disk free space (GB):17.144 I play it on medium (standard) without any kind of lag, so if you do it on minimum, you should be fine. But i aint so much into computer specs that i can say something precise. Congratz with the beta!
It will lag a little if i have high or ultra, without i actually can see any difference in graphics thats why i play on medium. Got the minimum specs from SKgaming: • Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7 • 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor • 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7 • 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card • 1024x768 minimum display resolution • 4 GB free hard space (Beta) • Broadband connection As far as i can see, you will be good to go when you clear some space for the game. Good luck playing!
You dont need an super PC. I have: Windows 7 3.0 ghz duo core E8400 4 GB RAM Nvidia 9800 gtx+ And I run on ultra settings with no lag at all. This build costed me 600 euro's. I build the pc from scrap. It's a bit aged, could use a quad core but whatever.
Processor is fine but our graphics card is crap. Luckily, StarCraft 2 isn't very graphical especially on low settings. I bet you'll probably want to play on Low even if your card and do a bit better because it'll slow down when you have a lot of units.
So I have played my first two placement watches, won both. Some thoughts: All the settings are on low, but the game is still laggy. When you click units there is a small delay. My APM averages 25, yes, 25 . My opponents 90 so I don't have a clue what theyre doing and still losing the game. I won my first match by a ball of MMMs. The second game I won with 4 reapers and not losing any units. The weird thing is that I destroyed his main nexus and then apparently he has his natural expo up and running with like 6 gateways and yet he resigned. Weird. Regarding barracks and its addons. There's this addon that allows you to build 2 units at once, but you can only use this on marines since you require the different addon for the other units? Its a bit odd, wouldnt simply building two barracks be a better investment than 1 barracks with that two-build-at-once addon?
Well if you want to rush tier 1 building 2 barracks with with the build 2 units at once thing would rock. Totally designed for tier 1 rushing Or you could build it and just fly the barracks between both the 2 different addons when you needed them. That would work too.
