is systemrequirementslab kidding with me ??

Hi

recently I bought I new HP pc with this Specifications :

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ ( 2.7 GHz )

3.0 GB of ram

ATI Radeon HD 3450

good Specifications I think ... after install all updates I just want to try how my GPU will perform so i go to systemrequirementslab and try crysis warhead I was laughing because I Know the GPU is weak but I'a shocked when I so the the result my GPU pass the Recommended and here the a pic

??????

The flaw with SRL is that it bases its rating on how well your PC matches the game's required and recommended specifications. For the videocard, it'll only measure the VRAM and other basic things that all video cards have instead of the speed. Don't expect to run Crysis at high settings.GodLovesDead

but if you see under the videocard they Recommended the 8800GTS but my GPU is a weaker by too much and it pass !!!

Exactly.

Don't trust it. My setup;

8800GT 512 MB(Point of View version)

2GB Ram

Intel Core 2 QuadCore Q6600 2.40 Ghz

And it told me i wouldn't be able to run Crysis, yet i run it at max settings without any problems.

I just checked Warhead and I failed ( recommended ) because my video card wasn't good enough.

Everything else was ok but my card failed because it says I have vertex shaders 3 instead of 4 ( and something else was 3 instead of 4)

The little green line only went half way across between min and recommended.

I play the game fine by the way ( Crysis also )

e6700

8800 GTX ( factory OC to Ultra )

4 g ddr2

But whatever...

seems reasonable that your rig passes the recommended system requirements. i mean, recommended doesn't mean you can play crysis warhead in max settings, 1920x1200. it just means that you can run that game well in decent settings, i imagine.JnWycliffe

No, not with a 3450. A 3450 is below even the 8500GT, which can't run Crysis at more than all low at 1024x768 and still get playable frames. One might be able to run Crysis on all low at 800x600 on a 3450. Might even have to force 640x480 with a config.

stappy

Those are my EXACTspecs and it told me i can run Crysis fine...

1.5gb 3450 lol?

yeah it's not going to be accurate, and I also think yougamers is bit more reliable + they give more detail on what runs well.

i think the reason that it states a higher amount of VRAM than we know is true is because vista adds spare ram to the VRAM. e.g. i have a 880gts 320mb and 4 gb ram, but vista lists it as about 3gb ram and over 1gb vram

and im sure i remember these stats being reflected in syste reqs when i used it. im not saying its 100% reliable or anything but i think this could explain that particular issue.

oh yeah? but it sounds so good. 3450. doesn't it have a good ring to it? 3450. 3450. 3450...
