I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm saying that you should Google the system requirements, find out what video card it needs on the everquest website, and then you're good, you don't need to make this waste of a thread.
God you people are rude. I'm asking whether a system to play the game on the highest graphics settings is currently available. And if it is, what does that system look like? Try finding that on google. Get over yourself man.

i think a dell xps can handle it on highest graphics settings
Atm i havn't seen a system that can handle it on FULL graphics in a middle of a group battle.

Yea that seems to be the case. I suppose it was a good move to allow the game's graphics to constantly reach to new standard, but it is frustrating for PC gamers.
On a A64 4000+ san diego with 2 gigs of good ram and a 7800GT, I can play on "High Quality". There are 2 steps above this, Very High Quality and Extreme Quality. For this game, there are an incredible amount of options to tinker with, and given the time and willpower, I could probably match the graphics of very high quality without a noticable performance hit. Graphically though, high quality is very pretty and quite satisfying for me. Every once in a while, someone will claim to be able to crank everything to max and not have gameplay issues. They must be playing in a void with no other players or mobs though, or they must have missed some options, like environmental and offscreen shadows. Short answer - I don't honestly believe that any current system / driver configuration can crank every graphic option to max in EQ2.

nothing on the market today will allow you to play highest settings in eq2 where the engine is in full effect (for example, groups, in raids, in large cities where there are lots of npcs and players along with many shaders going crazy). 3 gigs won't even do it. They made this game with the future in mind, they wanted the graphics to keep a fresh appeal for years to come. I'm assuming with dx10 and vista software out, the hardware to match should do the trick to see highest settings possible with very little to no choke with lots of people on the screen and a fresh and high fps.
oh yeah, and there still is a bad memory leak which pretty much dosen't matter how much ram you have. I have 4 gigs, and even I have gotten my EQ2 crashed after some hours of playing non-stop. The game is a memory usage hog, it wasn't meant for today's hardware that's more than sure. I use OCZ 2.5-2-3-5 DDR400 sticks of ram, i got those sticks last christmas, if i'm not sure they're still the best/lowest timings for DDR400s

If my memory serves me right the reccomeneded system specs for that game are just out of this world. Like 2.4 ghz with like 2 gbs of ram or something like that. For 2 years ago when that game was released that was insane.
EQ2 is also very processor dependent. So, the faster your processor, the better your game experience will be. Unfortunately, EQ2 won't take advantage of multiple cores. I have an Athlon 64 4000+ (San Diego), 2GB RAM and a 7800GTX and I'm able to play in High Quality with a few additional options enabled. Â

 Yes his statement was a huge generalization, though Dell is very respectable when it comes to making high performance and affordable laptops..  Not sure about desktops sense I build my own..
Oh yeah, they definitely made this game to, number one, be very scalable, and number 2, totally future proof.I would say it runs pretty well too, there's so many graphics settings to mess with i just said screw it and i used the presets, and i can run it at i think it's Very High, something like that, anyway its either the second or third highest settings, no AA because it doesn't seem to work in the game for some reason, i think there's AF, at 1024 and it runs really smooth for the most part.The only time i have problems with it are in the largest cities, where it swaps RAM all the time.Other than that there's really no performance issues, and it's definitely one of the most beautiful games out there.A64 3400, gig of RAM, X850 Pro.

 Yep I agree, though I have noticed some type of memory leak in the engine that can start causing the performance to crawl after a certain amount of time (say 2 to 3 hours+ straight.)
 Makes me wonder also why Vanguard didn't use this engine what so ever when it is arguably one of the most capable out there for MMOs.
I'm pretty sure they haven't recoded to take advantage of multiple cores, so a dual core wouldn't actually see any real benefit. The newest 45nm quad cores from Intel are apparently OC'ing to like 4ghz per core, so those might get close. Videocard doesn't seem to be the choke point, it seems to be all processor. If Sony would put in the time and funding to revamp the game to be multithreaded, then we'd see some amazing playable graphics.
