Gears of War minimum specs Exposed!

http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=606&page=2

Still, these load hiccups are a small price to pay for the improved visuals. Gears looks absolutely fantastic in the high resolution of a widescreen monitor. The textures have been improved a good deal from the Xbox 360 version, and at the highest settings with DirectX 10 enabled, every pock-marked face and stony wall looks better than ever. If you're worried about your Quake 3 machine not being up to par, a single core 2.4ghz Intel chip with an nVidia 6600 graphics card and 1GB of RAM was given as a minimum spec. You will surely want more under the hood to have the game at all resembling its former self.

Looks like it will require a $3000 PC to play the game.

You only need 400... xD!!! My pc has 2.4 ghz but its not a core xD! 1 gig of ram=50 dollars. Nvidia 7300=73 dollars... LOL!!!! CAKES. you really on need 400.

a Dell 530 is 349 with 1 gig of ram put 70 dollars in it for a 7300. you have spent like 425 dollars? OMFG!!! xD Learn some PC specs before thinking a pc cost 3000. only a xps with 4 gig of ram,Nvidia 8800,and Quad Core(Clocked at 3.2 ghz) takes that much xD.

dont know much about pc gaming since im not one, but i doubt u need a $3000 pc just to play gears, and if u do....lol i hope ur not buying a pc just for gears of warDante2710

Read the requirements, and you'll notice that the guy's being sarcastic (same as when he posted the UT3 minimum specs).

Epic did well with optimization, not so much with GeoW it seems, since it has higher requirements than UT3.

That's because there's only 1 person on screen at a time, amirite?

Last time i check a Nvidia 6600 cost around 34-49 dollars xD! but a 7300 is 70 dollars. 0.o Why does everyone think pc gaming is like upgrading every month. new GPUs dont even be released every year. a 88000 with 1 gig of ram will last you till ...2010. yeah xD

Such things exist on the market!? Link NAO!

Why do hermits feel that a build at home system counts for being cheap? Whats the cheapest computer I can go into a store and buy that will play this game maxed out.

You don't need a $3000 PC to play that at low settings. Atleast that is what I think coming from a game that is almost a year old.cronus233

i guess you wanna play gears when its on something other than 360. :?

its probably a good game now right?

"a single core 2.4ghz Intel chip with an nVidia 6600 graphics card and 1GB of RAM was given as a minimum spec"

My computer is exactly taht except for a 3.0ghz processor and my 5 years old, 1500 at the time, and my upgrades totaled 200 dollars in 2005.

When my cousin bought a similar spec PC in 2006 it was the same, except with a basic video card and 512mb of ram for 400. Try and guess a PC costs taht CAN run the game as you said.
