I run a single core... !bang

 

[Toasteddude]

They look rather low, at least for me. But the game is looking good. Source games tend to scale very well.

You play Call of Duty 4 on a single core?

 

[Wal-Mart Security]

Ya I was gonna ask you kinda the same question. You have a single core? Didn't know that Oh, and by the way, I fixed the title of the thread

3 ghz? Even my new mac only runs a 2.5 :'(

Heck my old PC is a single core AMD 3800+ w/ 2 7800gt's and it plays CoD4 and any source game w/out issues. Remember people.... most games made are optimized for a single core, only newer games (last 12 months or so) get any boost from dual or quad cores.

yup... luckily im gettin a new build with a dual core 3.0 ghx so im good to go!

Hmmmmmm....interesting.

 

[Mustachio]

Yes, it does look a little higher than ep2 for instance, but its still source engine, which is now practically 4 years old. Should run like butter here.

Although I still think source games look good, I do feel like Source is reaching the end of its useful life. And I would assume that whenever Ep3 comes out, will be the last time they continue to improve on source before a new one comes out.

By the way, I had CoD4 running on my single core Athlon XP 3200+ with decent settings and it ran just fine. Of course, on my new quad core build, I can run CoD4 all the way up very smoothly.

The only requirement I find high is the HDD requirements. That had better be 7.5GB of the most epic fun ever created.

lol, well said.

 

[HardHat]

*nods* Very reasonable...should also scale well on lower-end hardware too.

wow - it'll take 4ever to download 7.5GB! omg

 

[Jinsei Zetsumei]

I dled a 29 gb game... took only about 20 hours... 7 g.bs should only take 7-9 hours at the most... cant wait for the game to come out tho... it better be awsome... or im going to have to do something really really drastic to valve.... oh yes there will be preanute butter

Thanks. and yes, Single core Vs CoD4 = 40+ FPS on highest possible settings.

A 3.0 GHz single core or a 2.0 GHz dual core. If you have an Intel mac it is at least dual core.

 

[passenger]

I, fortunately will be able to run this game. I upgraded a really long time ago to meet the false requirements to this game that i thought were real. But hey, im getting it when it comes out

 

[NeOfito]

I have "only" 2GB and running Vista Ultimate. For everything else, my system can handle it. Heading to buy a new pair of 1GB sticks of RAM!

 

[xplag]

heh, people are worried about the 7.5 gigs, but that's what most of the games today are hitting. Take for instance C&C 3 and the expansion Kane's Wrath.. (which is kinda old) I don't have it in front of me but I'm pretty sure that took up a good 10 gigs.
Just be glad it's not Conan (which my friend has) the "required" space for that is 30 gigs --_--
poor people with only 80 gig hdds...

 

[aleatorystories]

oh snizzapp! Cant wait now that I know I can run it effectively
